CFexpress

The huge demand for memory from AI data centres contributing to a massive global shortage.

In March of this year, Sony even stopped taking orders for most of its SD and CFexpress cards in Japan.

citing uh the semiconductor shortage so there we go congratulations i'd just

like to say ruth if there's a gap in the recording it's because i took the sd card out of the uh the recorder just have a look at it

Would you have had to obviously bring your own card to put it in there? Yeah,

and I was afraid I need CFexpress and I don't have any

CFexpress.

No, most of the cameras, they have two slots, so they have an SD.

Because CFexpress is just type B, I think it is.

It's

way too expensive.

I don't want to delete SD cards, at least one copy of them until everything is delivered for these reasons.

So I go back and I'm like, what if something didn't transfer well? So I go back to the SD cards, to my CFexpress cards, nothing.

There's no photos written on those cards from that moment.

And I'm like, what is going on? I remember taking photos for that moment.

I There's also a thing called XQD, which is a bit of a stepping stone into that higher performance card world.

Some Nikon and Sony cameras that I'm familiar with have used QXD, and some cameras that originally used QXD were then later upgraded and updated to support CFexpress Type B.

But that depends on your camera, so you do have to check your specific model.

But QXD, honestly, I don't see a lot of it.

It may say SD UHS-1.

It may say SD UHS-2.

It may say CFexpress Type B.

It may have dual slots like my Canon R5.
