i've heard a lot of photography friends lose wedding pics to a bad SD card and that is never something any client wants to hear under any circumstance. it maybe an exercise under caution or bad experience, but i respect it nontheless
I updated the firmware in my Nikon D500 bodies so they can use CFExpress Type B. Before that, they had to use XQD, which are still way faster than any kind of SD, but slower than any CF. I don't expect to ever have any overflow images on the SD cards. I wish the camera had been designed to use two XQD or CF Type B cards! Interestingly, the XQD reader would not read the CF, so I had to get a CF reader. Since then, I also added a dual reader that can do both XQD and CF Type B that I can keep in my bag, while I keep the first two at home.
I've seen a video about that, and then the guy who made the video showed how slow the NVME really is, and how hot it gets. You're better off buying CF Type B from a reputable brand. You also get a warranty that way and faster speeds.
@@hotflashfoto you would run into that problem if you are a continuous high speed raw shooter. But it you just want to populate a slot for redundancy, and will mostly be shooting low bursts, then it's perfectly fine
@@kamatchinmay I use High Speed bursts at times, so having a card that limits the speed would defeat the purpose of using the feature. For others it may be ok, but the way I use it means I need the speed. Birds, water drops, and other fast-moving subjects are my concern. The eclipse was not an issue since I was taking only 1 image per second for about 15 minutes.
CFX cards are horrible. They over heat and after a year of use, they break. True waste of money. If your on a long assignment or just on a long road trip, you can't trust CFX card.
ive never heard of anyone replacing sandisk sd cards every year, in fact almost everyone i know has been using them for over 5 yrs with no problems
Nor me but I'm not using them as much as the video described.
I'm with you. I use my card every day for photo/video and have never had to replace them

@MajoroTom and I know tons of photographers who buy Chinese junk and not any name brands, so I'm not surprised at all
Thanks so much for sharing this useful information. Have a great day James👍
Thank you for watching and your support!
0:14 No anymore...As of today, September 2023, you can buy some CFexpress Type B cards for the same price or even less than premium V90 SD cards.
I've only had a few SD failures and luckily haven't lost anything. So far my experience with CFExpress B has been good, they work great in my Nikon Z6

Which card reader works on the Mac Pro Book?
Great insightful video
Glad it was helpful!
I always Record on both SD and CFx just in case one fails.
Do all cameras that take the size of the sd card support the cf express ?
this card copy only its half of its storage on 128gp im using in eos r5 anybody knows why?
You can make your own cfe B cards using 2260 nvme SSD
I did not know that, great info!
