Если там и произошло что-то неприятное, то дело не в вирусах. Молчание. – Мидж.

Tom’s Hardware has written about an interesting adapter from Sintech that allows users to put an M. The cards are notoriously expensive. You’re paying a premium for a genuine CFexpress Type B card. However, the premium isn’t just because it’s a CFexpress Type B card. You’re also paying for the extensive compatibility and reliability testing performed by memory card manufacturers. Companies like SanDisk and ProGrade aren’t just slapping storage into a case and calling it a day.

They spend a lot of time ensuring reliable, sustained performance across a wide range of devices and applications. PetaPixel spoke with a storage and memory expert about the Sintech adapter, and the general takeaway is that for someone comfortable with DIY and assuming some risk, the adapter could work well. Further, cheap SSD storage may work well in optimal conditions but may falter when pushed to its limits. Premium-priced storage isn’t always better than cheaper options, but it usually is.

PetaPixel writes, ‘But knowing those risks, the basic idea behind the Sintech solution is sound, and it’s absolutely a viable option for photographers who want to save some money.

The instructions are straightforward. You purchase a separate NVMe SSD, remove the label, install it into the case, apply thermal silica onto the chipset, use the provided scraper to smooth the silica application and close the case. Sintech has tested the adapter with different NVMe 1. Not all SSDs are supported, so your mileage may vary. This is a significant discount compared to off-the-shelf CFexpress Type B cards.

Of course, as mentioned, you do assume some risk by doing so. Whether it’s worth the risk is up to you. In any event, it’s good for consumers to have more options. SK Hynix ones did not work on R5 the camera hung with red light until battery was pulled! I bought one inexpensive Type A card, GB , and has just asked him the same question. Nevertheless he may not pay reliability tests and any other license fees so this card can record up to 4k60 and works fine for shooting 30 fps in my A1.

Hi all. I’m new here and this is my first post so I apologise in advance if this has been answered already. So I’ve ordered the bits to make my cf express card. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to change? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would guess the card isnt recognized because it has no partitions. Put in your cfexpress card reader, see if it shows up in windows. If not open Disk Management and you will probably get a message saying need to initialise disk before it can be read by this app Then format disk again from within camera menus.

Had unlimited burst on mechanical shutter couldnt get it to buffer after hundreds of shots, about 85 before buffer on electronic shutter shooting RAW. Recorded 8k raw no issue. Does get hot but I wouldn’t say its scary hot and as long as you get the thermal paste right the heat is dissipated via the entire aluminium case of the adaptor anyway.

Then put card in camera and do a another low level format on it. A lot of fluff in these comments, normal cfexpress cards generate a huge amount of heat anyway, an SSD in a case is not going to be any worse. CFExpress cards are exactly the same technology as nvme ssds why pay more? Also the reason sintech recommend the 1tb toshiba for 8k raw is because it has a higher max write speed of vs for the other models.

So can handle the intensive recording of 8k better. Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Noctua NT-H1 as thermal paste the pin adapter causes a small step, using the paste you can compensate, with the pad, you can’t. The first issue that I had was the card would not eject in my Nikon Z7. The enclosure was stuck inside the camera and would not eject. I had to pull the card out with needle nose pliers. I knew the card-stuck problem would be even worse on my Panasonic S1R because that camera has an even tighter slot than the Nikon.

I took the enclosure apart and took the parts down to my machine shop and deburred all the edges with a scotch-brite wheel and gently rounded the sharp edges and made sure everything was well feathered where the bottom meets the top.

The card now ejects fine on my Z7 but still doesn’t eject without coaxing on the S1R. Otherwise the card reads and writes just great and very fast. I added CPU thermal paste and used medium strength locktite on the screws. The card is a good option as a backup for my Z7 but the S1R is very picky about “fat” cards and so its a no-go on that camera.

I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. Got mine all set up. Card got pretty hot but no damage. An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them.

I would trust a ssd I buy x times more than any black box sandisk will sell me. Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? People used to mention risk to me when I would tell them I use a micro-SD card in an adapter, rather than buying a bunch of different memory card formats. I think people are just negative Nellies sometimes.

If some find this risky, then it’s not for them, they should pay the premium for the standard solution. I have used a similar solution an adapter to take SD cards in my Canon 5D the original, classic 5D for 12 years. Never had a single issue, and never had to buy the more expensive CF cards anymore. I never noticed any negative effect on performance.

It would be advisable -and safer- to use thermal pads instead of thermal paste. Thermal pads are widely available and sold for peanuts in eBay. And if they don’t fit right? I say stick with thermal paste. They would probably just include a thermal pad with the device if all SSD devices were exactly the same thickness. Just did a big pea sized blob of thermal paste in middle of chip and sandwiched case together took apart again to take a look and thermal paste fully spread out over chip and perfect at that point!

I love stuff like this so very excited to try it out. Hopefully it works good. Way back in some folks here on DP Review were removing Microdrives from inexpensive MP3 players to use in their cameras. Sometimes it actually worked! Of course, with 3. This looks like a great solution to the exorbitant CFE prices, but right now it seems Sintech has run out of their adapter already. I know that’s a joke, but seriously, not much of anything. Installing an NVME drive in a computer is super easy, and anyone to do it.

This is even easier My only question would be about possible patent infringements, though I don’t know what that would be.

Not knowing much about this process I’ll defer to you. I’m glad people are exploring other less expensive options. Also, I’m not very good at telling jokes :. Have K per day for some international sporting events, mixed with very rare video I hope this drives prices down. We’ve been raked over the coals for years. The changing of media is a killer on budgets. Example could be 1DX. The spend on cards not used, or used rarely now adds up. I hope the R1 will have dual same media as in the Z9.

It makes workflow so much easier in production and post. People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong. Prices fell on CF and SD back in the day because they were used by millions of devices. The game is over. No new storage format will ever achieve the mass adoption necessary to make it as cheap as SD.

Therefore the only answer to those rip-offs is devices like these, or manufacturers with the balls to shun them. NVME is the next one. This should put a damper on the outrageously high prices. Me too. The first time was way back when I used 2 GB cards.

Therefore the only answer to those rip-offs is devices like these, or manufacturers with the balls to shun them. NVME is the next one. This should put a damper on the outrageously high prices. Me too. The first time was way back when I used 2 GB cards. I was amazed, and decided to give them a try. I used that adapter and various micro-SD cards for years, eventually stepping up to 4 GB and then 8 GB cards, and saving myself a lot of money in the process, because CF cards have stayed much more expensive than micro-SD cards.

I still use the adapter on my 5D-I mostly 32 GB cards, since the files are relatively small. Of course I don’t need an adapter on my 5D-IV. It should be, but you’d be better off calling NewEgg voice chat. Their staff is usually helpful in my experience. In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility.

Apparently others overheat, or are not compatible. I would stick with high quality stuff, which normally produces less heat, and performs faster. I have no idea why. Please let us know how it goes.

Nikonmaniac – dunno yet. The NVMe arrived today, but the adapter has not yet. Hopefully one of them will arrive soon. It will also be interesting to see how the speed compares to the expensive cards.

I really want a big drive for photos exclusively, so I that could reserve my proper cards for video use, but the pricing on CFE is generally insane. Awesome content guys thanks very much!

Never knew they were based on NVMe drives. I did wonder. Could always use thermal pad instead of paste I expect? You probably could. It might also fully depend on the SSD. Some are getting hotter which should benefit from the better heat transfer of thermal paste while those ssds not getting that hot in use might be fine. The big question is what the right thickness for the pad would be.

Thanks for the reply. I have a load of pads of different thickness so should be good. I like an electronics DIY project You’re welcome. Just figure out how hot the ssd you’re going to use gets before trying it out and maybe consider a different one not getting that hot.

It’s unfortunately hard to find reviews including temperature measurement during use. You better don’t want the ssd to do an emergency shut down if it gets too hot resulting in a card failure message on the camera display. If you consider it also have a look at the adapters surface if it is polished as smooth as a cpu block or more rough. If the latter is the case you shouldn’t consider thermal pads anymore. Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature.

It occured to me that the host card has to have electronics to take a four bit wide data stream from the NVMe and convert to a two bit wide form for the camera interface. That, I guess, could cut the speed in half unless the camera side is specially fast. Or perhaps the reason for the high CF prices low volume? Wow, that instructional photo of thermal paste seems a bit much. Reminds me of The Verge’s infamous video on PC assembling. The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter.

Since that SSD size is much thinner than a CFexpress card, they are probably making it up with tons of thermal paste rather than a thicker aluminum plate. They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness. Extra thermal paste is needed, because there is a lot of space between the SSD and the enclosure. Some SSD models probably don’t require as much thermal paste as others. Just remember to remove any labels or stickers before applying the thermal paste.

I am willing to give this a try so long as it is guaranteed not to damage my camera, which I will need to look into peer reviews for. I think the risk is related to damaging the ssd and loosing warranty. I don’t see any reason for any damage in the camera. Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube.

These things do work just fine. People usually don’t have just one memory card. For working pros including myself , the price of CFexpress cards can really hurt my wallet.

Nobody pays a premium because they want to. If I can save money here and there, why not? You missed the point on saving money wherever I can. If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item? And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses.

Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear. I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics. If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more.

Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money. Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change. But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer. Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue.

The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make. An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside. Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make. Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow.

Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well. I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now. In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter.

I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive. The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy. If you do price conversion do it right. US prices don’t include vat. Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe.

I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes.

Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes. No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes. Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education.

They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone. Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards.

Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society. We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans. One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund. And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans. So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes. That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly.

And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue. I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free.

And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them. Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either. My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford.

I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data. Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops. Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops.

By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed. My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown. Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying. I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money.

It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling.

It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it. Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card? It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market. Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour.

Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit. I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer.

Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales. The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely. In theory this is a good idea, and it may work for some NVMe drives, but for others, it may not work as well due to heat issues, even if you use the thermal paste which more or less will just help transfer the heat to the casing.

But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with. Some controllers do get hot, and would be fine in a computer because there’s more airflow, but in a camera, not so much. In theory, this device seems appealing, but the potentials for problems especially with some “performance” NVMe drives, which tend to run faster obviously, but at potentially higher temperatures again, fine for computer use or even laptop use where there is a fan or other cooling solution to help move the heat around, but not so much in a camera, which is the bigger concern here.

In stead of saying “what if it doesn’t work” why don’t you try “what if it works? So many half empty glasses here. It’s usually the controller that gets the hottest rather than the NAND so it’s also very localized.

Most of them are also not sandwiched too badly against other components tho, I can see thermals being compounded inside a camera where the card slot is completely sealed in and it’s often located near the battery which will be another source of heat.

Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video. You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues. They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat.

My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat. Card got pretty hot but no damage. An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them. I would trust a ssd I buy x times more than any black box sandisk will sell me.

Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? People used to mention risk to me when I would tell them I use a micro-SD card in an adapter, rather than buying a bunch of different memory card formats. I think people are just negative Nellies sometimes. If some find this risky, then it’s not for them, they should pay the premium for the standard solution. I have used a similar solution an adapter to take SD cards in my Canon 5D the original, classic 5D for 12 years. Never had a single issue, and never had to buy the more expensive CF cards anymore.

I never noticed any negative effect on performance. It would be advisable -and safer- to use thermal pads instead of thermal paste. Thermal pads are widely available and sold for peanuts in eBay. And if they don’t fit right? I say stick with thermal paste. They would probably just include a thermal pad with the device if all SSD devices were exactly the same thickness.

Just did a big pea sized blob of thermal paste in middle of chip and sandwiched case together took apart again to take a look and thermal paste fully spread out over chip and perfect at that point!

I love stuff like this so very excited to try it out. Hopefully it works good. Way back in some folks here on DP Review were removing Microdrives from inexpensive MP3 players to use in their cameras. Sometimes it actually worked! Of course, with 3. This looks like a great solution to the exorbitant CFE prices, but right now it seems Sintech has run out of their adapter already. I know that’s a joke, but seriously, not much of anything. Installing an NVME drive in a computer is super easy, and anyone to do it.

This is even easier My only question would be about possible patent infringements, though I don’t know what that would be. Not knowing much about this process I’ll defer to you. I’m glad people are exploring other less expensive options. Also, I’m not very good at telling jokes :. Have K per day for some international sporting events, mixed with very rare video I hope this drives prices down.

We’ve been raked over the coals for years. The changing of media is a killer on budgets. Example could be 1DX. The spend on cards not used, or used rarely now adds up. I hope the R1 will have dual same media as in the Z9. It makes workflow so much easier in production and post. People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong.

Prices fell on CF and SD back in the day because they were used by millions of devices. The game is over. No new storage format will ever achieve the mass adoption necessary to make it as cheap as SD. Therefore the only answer to those rip-offs is devices like these, or manufacturers with the balls to shun them.

NVME is the next one. This should put a damper on the outrageously high prices. Me too. The first time was way back when I used 2 GB cards. I was amazed, and decided to give them a try. I used that adapter and various micro-SD cards for years, eventually stepping up to 4 GB and then 8 GB cards, and saving myself a lot of money in the process, because CF cards have stayed much more expensive than micro-SD cards.

I still use the adapter on my 5D-I mostly 32 GB cards, since the files are relatively small. Of course I don’t need an adapter on my 5D-IV. It should be, but you’d be better off calling NewEgg voice chat. Their staff is usually helpful in my experience. In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility. Apparently others overheat, or are not compatible. I would stick with high quality stuff, which normally produces less heat, and performs faster.

I have no idea why. Please let us know how it goes. Nikonmaniac – dunno yet. The NVMe arrived today, but the adapter has not yet. Hopefully one of them will arrive soon. It will also be interesting to see how the speed compares to the expensive cards.

I really want a big drive for photos exclusively, so I that could reserve my proper cards for video use, but the pricing on CFE is generally insane. Awesome content guys thanks very much! Never knew they were based on NVMe drives. I did wonder. Could always use thermal pad instead of paste I expect? You probably could. It might also fully depend on the SSD. Some are getting hotter which should benefit from the better heat transfer of thermal paste while those ssds not getting that hot in use might be fine.

The big question is what the right thickness for the pad would be. Thanks for the reply. I have a load of pads of different thickness so should be good. I like an electronics DIY project You’re welcome. Just figure out how hot the ssd you’re going to use gets before trying it out and maybe consider a different one not getting that hot. It’s unfortunately hard to find reviews including temperature measurement during use.

You better don’t want the ssd to do an emergency shut down if it gets too hot resulting in a card failure message on the camera display. If you consider it also have a look at the adapters surface if it is polished as smooth as a cpu block or more rough. If the latter is the case you shouldn’t consider thermal pads anymore. Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature.

It occured to me that the host card has to have electronics to take a four bit wide data stream from the NVMe and convert to a two bit wide form for the camera interface.

That, I guess, could cut the speed in half unless the camera side is specially fast. Or perhaps the reason for the high CF prices low volume? Wow, that instructional photo of thermal paste seems a bit much. Reminds me of The Verge’s infamous video on PC assembling. The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter.

Since that SSD size is much thinner than a CFexpress card, they are probably making it up with tons of thermal paste rather than a thicker aluminum plate.

They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness. Extra thermal paste is needed, because there is a lot of space between the SSD and the enclosure. Some SSD models probably don’t require as much thermal paste as others. Just remember to remove any labels or stickers before applying the thermal paste. I am willing to give this a try so long as it is guaranteed not to damage my camera, which I will need to look into peer reviews for.

I think the risk is related to damaging the ssd and loosing warranty. I don’t see any reason for any damage in the camera. Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube.

These things do work just fine. People usually don’t have just one memory card. For working pros including myself , the price of CFexpress cards can really hurt my wallet. Nobody pays a premium because they want to. If I can save money here and there, why not? You missed the point on saving money wherever I can. If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item? And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses.

Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear. I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics. If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more.

Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money. Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change. But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer. Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue. The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make. An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside.

Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make. Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow.

Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well. I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now.

In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter. I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive. The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy. If you do price conversion do it right.

US prices don’t include vat. Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe. I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes. Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes.

No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes. Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education. They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone. Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards.

Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society. We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans. One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund. And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans. So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes. That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly. And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue.

I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free. And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them. Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either. My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford.

I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data. Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops. Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops. By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed.

My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown. Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying. I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money. It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling. It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it.

Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card? It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market.

Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour. Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit. I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer. Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales.

The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely. In theory this is a good idea, and it may work for some NVMe drives, but for others, it may not work as well due to heat issues, even if you use the thermal paste which more or less will just help transfer the heat to the casing.

But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with.

They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat. My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat. Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs.

I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K. I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp. I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list. Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are.

This could be a good alternative. Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later. May be so – but would you risk your camera warranty or insurance for a few dollars using home made card, not mentioning the possibility of losing all your photos if something go wrong – at least commercially available cards carry a warranty and possibly approval from your camera maker. Mais51 – I think it is near impossible to see how such a failure would be caused.

Nonetheless this is interesting and if it works I am not afraid to experiment. Nobody is forcing you to do so too. Some CFex cards run very hot – up to 90oC – not too sure whether the custom case could handle such elevate temperature or melt down in the memory slot. Perhaps, but the “rip off” high priced cards generally have better QA in the materials.

So, you can select your NVMe here, but who makes the circuit board and controller that you plug it into? The controller will make a huge difference here as the NVMe will only run as fast as the controller lets it.

But at least with the pre-made cards from Sandisk and others you know the rated speed. Here it’s anyone’s guess because just because the NVME claims to run at one speed, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get that speed the controller can bottleneck it.

They would have to find a way to prove that you used an “unsupported” card which may have lead to overheating, which is a long stretch on the camera mfr’s part. DIY version will not “melt” in memory card slot it is made of metal!

I’ve used them in Nikons and Canons, and they work very well. Were they legit Ritz branded cards? I see a lot of discussions about people getting fake cards even fake Sandisk cards on Amazon Sony has just released a trio of impressively small, light, ultrawide lenses for APS-C. These lenses are designed for vloggers, so Chris decided to film himself and find out how they perform. Holy moly, this thing is tiny!

We take the adorable Sigma mm F2. Here’s what’s new and what we think so far We’ve been able to spend some quality time with Fujifilm’s APS-C flagship, and we have plenty of opinions! How do you make weird lens even weirder? Put a periscope on it! We check out the new Laowa Periprobe 24mm F14 2X and explore some of the creative things you can do with such a bizarre lens. What’s the best camera for shooting landscapes? High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important.

I knew the card-stuck problem would be even worse on my Panasonic S1R because that camera has an even tighter slot than the Nikon. I took the enclosure apart and took the parts down to my machine shop and deburred all the edges with a scotch-brite wheel and gently rounded the sharp edges and made sure everything was well feathered where the bottom meets the top.

The card now ejects fine on my Z7 but still doesn’t eject without coaxing on the S1R. Otherwise the card reads and writes just great and very fast. I added CPU thermal paste and used medium strength locktite on the screws. The card is a good option as a backup for my Z7 but the S1R is very picky about “fat” cards and so its a no-go on that camera. I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards.

Got mine all set up. Card got pretty hot but no damage. An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them. I would trust a ssd I buy x times more than any black box sandisk will sell me. Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it?

But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with.

Some controllers do get hot, and would be fine in a computer because there’s more airflow, but in a camera, not so much. In theory, this device seems appealing, but the potentials for problems especially with some “performance” NVMe drives, which tend to run faster obviously, but at potentially higher temperatures again, fine for computer use or even laptop use where there is a fan or other cooling solution to help move the heat around, but not so much in a camera, which is the bigger concern here.

In stead of saying “what if it doesn’t work” why don’t you try “what if it works? So many half empty glasses here. It’s usually the controller that gets the hottest rather than the NAND so it’s also very localized. Most of them are also not sandwiched too badly against other components tho, I can see thermals being compounded inside a camera where the card slot is completely sealed in and it’s often located near the battery which will be another source of heat.

Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video. You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues. They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat. My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat.

Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs. I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K. I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp.

I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list. Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are.

This could be a good alternative. Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later. May be so – but would you risk your camera warranty or insurance for a few dollars using home made card, not mentioning the possibility of losing all your photos if something go wrong – at least commercially available cards carry a warranty and possibly approval from your camera maker.

Mais51 – I think it is near impossible to see how such a failure would be caused. Nonetheless this is interesting and if it works I am not afraid to experiment. Nobody is forcing you to do so too. Some CFex cards run very hot – up to 90oC – not too sure whether the custom case could handle such elevate temperature or melt down in the memory slot.

Perhaps, but the “rip off” high priced cards generally have better QA in the materials. So, you can select your NVMe here, but who makes the circuit board and controller that you plug it into? The controller will make a huge difference here as the NVMe will only run as fast as the controller lets it.

But at least with the pre-made cards from Sandisk and others you know the rated speed. Here it’s anyone’s guess because just because the NVME claims to run at one speed, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get that speed the controller can bottleneck it. They would have to find a way to prove that you used an “unsupported” card which may have lead to overheating, which is a long stretch on the camera mfr’s part. DIY version will not “melt” in memory card slot it is made of metal!

I’ve used them in Nikons and Canons, and they work very well. Were they legit Ritz branded cards? I see a lot of discussions about people getting fake cards even fake Sandisk cards on Amazon Sony has just released a trio of impressively small, light, ultrawide lenses for APS-C. These lenses are designed for vloggers, so Chris decided to film himself and find out how they perform.

Holy moly, this thing is tiny! I am willing to give this a try so long as it is guaranteed not to damage my camera, which I will need to look into peer reviews for. I think the risk is related to damaging the ssd and loosing warranty.

I don’t see any reason for any damage in the camera. Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube. These things do work just fine. People usually don’t have just one memory card. For working pros including myself , the price of CFexpress cards can really hurt my wallet. Nobody pays a premium because they want to. If I can save money here and there, why not? You missed the point on saving money wherever I can.

If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item? And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses.

Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear.

I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics. If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more. Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money. Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change.

But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer. Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue. The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make.

An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside. Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make. Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow. Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well.

I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now. In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter.

I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive. The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy. If you do price conversion do it right. US prices don’t include vat.

Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe. I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes. Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes.

No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes.

Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education. They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone.

Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards. Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society. We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans. One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund. And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans.

So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes. That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly. And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue. I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free. And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them.

Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either. My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford. I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data.

Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops. Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops. By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed. My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown.

Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying. I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money. It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling.

It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it. Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card? It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market. Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour.

Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit. I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer. Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales.

The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely.

Although Adobe says it will eventually make the web-based version of Photoshop free for all to use, the beta testing is currently limited to Canada we’re quite sure Chris and Jordan had nothing to do with this, but you never know. Adobe has released a major update to its Lightroom ecosystem that includes video editing capabilities, new preset functionality and much more. Capture One 22 But what’s do these modes achieve? We to look at how data is captured, how it’s stored and what benefits you should expect from bit capture.

In addition to the new stills and video capture modes for the a1, Sony has also released a minor firmware update for its a7S III full-frame mirrorless camera. Have you ever come across a ‘Pro Mist’ or ‘Cinebloom’ filter and wondered what they do, or why you might want them?

This little guide will help you get started on your mist filter journey. For the first time, and aided by the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have measured the mass of an isolated black hole through the Milky Way Galaxy. While none of these are deal-breaking issues, here are some the annoying camera quirks that really get under Chris and Jordan’s skin. This could be one of Leica’s most expensive limited-edition kits if they do end up retailing for the prices they’re expected to fetch.

Who wouldn’t want a camera that looks like R2-D2 from Star Wars? James DeFehr developed Pyro , a film developer that promises extremely fine grain, high contrast, expanded tonal control and long shelf life. It looks like a promising developer for black and white film enthusiasts. Leica loves a good special edition camera and lens. The annual Comedy Pet Awards photo competition has released a collection of the best images submitted so far, showing off the funny side of all kinds of animals.

Tested sustained read of 1. TimP A lot of fluff in these comments, normal cfexpress cards generate a huge amount of heat anyway, an SSD in a case is not going to be any worse.

Alberto Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Richard Poinvil I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. And sorry that this isn’t very scientific. Richard Poinvil Got mine all set up. Mike Don’t forget that thermal paste – eeeeeeeeesential! Scottelly An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them. TimP funnily enough most of the time is toshiba chips ;.

Scottelly Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Scottelly And if they don’t fit right? RMK Colorado The space inside very tight and thermal pads wouldn’t fit. Just use CPU thermal paste. TimP really not enough space, didnt have any 0. Salgado Photo How do you know? Frankinidaho Geez, what could go wrong? Frankinidaho arniebook And it was even Y2K compliant. Francis Sawyer People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong.

Scottelly Me too. It’s the correct form factor. Scottelly In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility.

Nikonmaniac Does it work? Scottelly Awesome! Kharan Nice! JT26 Awesome content guys thanks very much! PredatorsPrey You probably could. JT26 Thanks for the reply. PredatorsPrey You’re welcome. MonoCA Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature.

Razor The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter. Scottelly They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness.

Go figure. Relaxed Seriously. PredatorsPrey Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow.

Scottelly I’m sure they’re coming. Prophecies The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. US prices don’t include vat So they cost about the same. Richard Butler xtam – Sure, but at the point you risk opening up the discussion to an ever broadening discussion of levels of government support, healthcare and cost-of-living, which has nothing at all to do with cameras or photography.

Mr Bolton I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store.

This little guide will help you get started on your mist filter journey. For the first time, and aided by the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have measured the mass of an isolated black hole through the Milky Way Galaxy. While none of these are deal-breaking issues, here are some the annoying camera quirks that really get under Chris and Jordan’s skin. This could be one of Leica’s most expensive limited-edition kits if they do end up retailing for the prices they’re expected to fetch.

Who wouldn’t want a camera that looks like R2-D2 from Star Wars? James DeFehr developed Pyro , a film developer that promises extremely fine grain, high contrast, expanded tonal control and long shelf life.

Tags: cfexpress-type-b , memory-cards , storage. View Comments Comments All RobC88 Hi all. TimP I would guess the card isnt recognized because it has no partitions. Tested sustained read of 1. TimP A lot of fluff in these comments, normal cfexpress cards generate a huge amount of heat anyway, an SSD in a case is not going to be any worse.

Alberto Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Richard Poinvil I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. And sorry that this isn’t very scientific. Richard Poinvil Got mine all set up. Mike Don’t forget that thermal paste – eeeeeeeeesential! Scottelly An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them.

TimP funnily enough most of the time is toshiba chips ;. Scottelly Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Scottelly And if they don’t fit right? RMK Colorado The space inside very tight and thermal pads wouldn’t fit. Just use CPU thermal paste. TimP really not enough space, didnt have any 0. Salgado Photo How do you know? Frankinidaho Geez, what could go wrong? Frankinidaho arniebook And it was even Y2K compliant. Francis Sawyer People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong.

Scottelly Me too. It’s the correct form factor. Scottelly In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility. Nikonmaniac Does it work? Scottelly Awesome! Kharan Nice! JT26 Awesome content guys thanks very much! PredatorsPrey You probably could.

JT26 Thanks for the reply. PredatorsPrey You’re welcome. MonoCA Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature. Razor The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter. Scottelly They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness.

Chaitanya S Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube. Go figure. Relaxed Seriously. PredatorsPrey Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow. Scottelly I’m sure they’re coming.

Prophecies The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. US prices don’t include vat So they cost about the same. Richard Butler xtam – Sure, but at the point you risk opening up the discussion to an ever broadening discussion of levels of government support, healthcare and cost-of-living, which has nothing at all to do with cameras or photography.

Mr Bolton I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. However, we can’t have such nice things here in the States, because “Freedom.

Scottelly No significant taxes? Scottelly Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society.

He’s not paying enough in taxes. Mr Bolton I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. Mr Bolton And finally.. So why exactly, should I be thanking anyone for that? Snoddas Probably a rebranded Delkin card.

UltraviewZ1 Not sure you safe. That’ll be interesting. That’s what It’s for. UltraviewZ1 Yes prices are tumbling. Richard Butler Who is betraying what promise in this scenario? Mike Engles It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling. FuhTeng No, that still doesn’t suffice panther fan.

Of course you’re going to pay more for specialized equipment. And that is above MSRP. Impulses It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market.

NickZ Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. Michael Berg Impulses maybe because it’s overpriced? Jeff Greenberg duplicate. Jeff Greenberg many pros risking DIY affordability acquire a “future part-time pro” bias This electronics mashup really is not something I’m going to trust. The game is over. No new storage format will ever achieve the mass adoption necessary to make it as cheap as SD. Therefore the only answer to those rip-offs is devices like these, or manufacturers with the balls to shun them.

NVME is the next one. This should put a damper on the outrageously high prices. Me too. The first time was way back when I used 2 GB cards.

I was amazed, and decided to give them a try. I used that adapter and various micro-SD cards for years, eventually stepping up to 4 GB and then 8 GB cards, and saving myself a lot of money in the process, because CF cards have stayed much more expensive than micro-SD cards.

I still use the adapter on my 5D-I mostly 32 GB cards, since the files are relatively small. Of course I don’t need an adapter on my 5D-IV. It should be, but you’d be better off calling NewEgg voice chat. Their staff is usually helpful in my experience. In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility. Apparently others overheat, or are not compatible. I would stick with high quality stuff, which normally produces less heat, and performs faster.

I have no idea why. Please let us know how it goes. Nikonmaniac – dunno yet. The NVMe arrived today, but the adapter has not yet. Hopefully one of them will arrive soon. It will also be interesting to see how the speed compares to the expensive cards.

I really want a big drive for photos exclusively, so I that could reserve my proper cards for video use, but the pricing on CFE is generally insane. Awesome content guys thanks very much! Never knew they were based on NVMe drives. I did wonder. Could always use thermal pad instead of paste I expect? You probably could. It might also fully depend on the SSD. Some are getting hotter which should benefit from the better heat transfer of thermal paste while those ssds not getting that hot in use might be fine.

The big question is what the right thickness for the pad would be. Thanks for the reply. I have a load of pads of different thickness so should be good. I like an electronics DIY project You’re welcome. Just figure out how hot the ssd you’re going to use gets before trying it out and maybe consider a different one not getting that hot. It’s unfortunately hard to find reviews including temperature measurement during use.

You better don’t want the ssd to do an emergency shut down if it gets too hot resulting in a card failure message on the camera display. If you consider it also have a look at the adapters surface if it is polished as smooth as a cpu block or more rough. If the latter is the case you shouldn’t consider thermal pads anymore. Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature. It occured to me that the host card has to have electronics to take a four bit wide data stream from the NVMe and convert to a two bit wide form for the camera interface.

That, I guess, could cut the speed in half unless the camera side is specially fast. Or perhaps the reason for the high CF prices low volume? Wow, that instructional photo of thermal paste seems a bit much. Reminds me of The Verge’s infamous video on PC assembling. The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter.

Since that SSD size is much thinner than a CFexpress card, they are probably making it up with tons of thermal paste rather than a thicker aluminum plate. They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness. Extra thermal paste is needed, because there is a lot of space between the SSD and the enclosure.

Some SSD models probably don’t require as much thermal paste as others. Just remember to remove any labels or stickers before applying the thermal paste.

I am willing to give this a try so long as it is guaranteed not to damage my camera, which I will need to look into peer reviews for. I think the risk is related to damaging the ssd and loosing warranty.

I don’t see any reason for any damage in the camera. Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube.

These things do work just fine. People usually don’t have just one memory card. For working pros including myself , the price of CFexpress cards can really hurt my wallet. Nobody pays a premium because they want to. If I can save money here and there, why not? You missed the point on saving money wherever I can. If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item?

And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses. Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear. I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics. If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more. Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money.

Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change. But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer. Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue.

The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make. An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside. Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make. Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow.

Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well. I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now.

In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter. I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive. The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy.

If you do price conversion do it right. US prices don’t include vat. Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe. I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes.

Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes.

No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes. Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education. They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone.

Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards.

Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society.

We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans. One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund. And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans. So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes.

That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly. And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue. I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million..

I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free. And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them. Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either. My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford.

I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data. Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops.

Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops. By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed. My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown. Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying.

I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money. It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling. It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it. Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card?

It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market. Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour. Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit.

I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer. Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales. The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely.

In theory this is a good idea, and it may work for some NVMe drives, but for others, it may not work as well due to heat issues, even if you use the thermal paste which more or less will just help transfer the heat to the casing. But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with. Some controllers do get hot, and would be fine in a computer because there’s more airflow, but in a camera, not so much.

In theory, this device seems appealing, but the potentials for problems especially with some “performance” NVMe drives, which tend to run faster obviously, but at potentially higher temperatures again, fine for computer use or even laptop use where there is a fan or other cooling solution to help move the heat around, but not so much in a camera, which is the bigger concern here. In stead of saying “what if it doesn’t work” why don’t you try “what if it works?

So many half empty glasses here. It’s usually the controller that gets the hottest rather than the NAND so it’s also very localized. Most of them are also not sandwiched too badly against other components tho, I can see thermals being compounded inside a camera where the card slot is completely sealed in and it’s often located near the battery which will be another source of heat.

Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video. You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues. They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat. My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat.

Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs.

I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K. I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp. I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list.

Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are. This could be a good alternative. Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later. May be so – but would you risk your camera warranty or insurance for a few dollars using home made card, not mentioning the possibility of losing all your photos if something go wrong – at least commercially available cards carry a warranty and possibly approval from your camera maker.

Mais51 – I think it is near impossible to see how such a failure would be caused. Nonetheless this is interesting and if it works I am not afraid to experiment.

Nobody is forcing you to do so too. Some CFex cards run very hot – up to 90oC – not too sure whether the custom case could handle such elevate temperature or melt down in the memory slot.

Perhaps, but the “rip off” high priced cards generally have better QA in the materials. So, you can select your NVMe here, but who makes the circuit board and controller that you plug it into?

The controller will make a huge difference here as the NVMe will only run as fast as the controller lets it. But at least with the pre-made cards from Sandisk and others you know the rated speed. Here it’s anyone’s guess because just because the NVME claims to run at one speed, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get that speed the controller can bottleneck it.

They would have to find a way to prove that you used an “unsupported” card which may have lead to overheating, which is a long stretch on the camera mfr’s part. DIY version will not “melt” in memory card slot it is made of metal! I’ve used them in Nikons and Canons, and they work very well.

Were they legit Ritz branded cards? I see a lot of discussions about people getting fake cards even fake Sandisk cards on Amazon Sony has just released a trio of impressively small, light, ultrawide lenses for APS-C. These lenses are designed for vloggers, so Chris decided to film himself and find out how they perform.

It occured to me that the host card has to have electronics to take a four bit wide data stream from the NVMe and convert to a two bit wide form for the camera interface.

That, I guess, could cut the speed in half unless the camera side is specially fast. Or perhaps the reason for the high CF prices low volume? Wow, that instructional photo of thermal paste seems a bit much. Reminds me of The Verge’s infamous video on PC assembling. The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter. Since that SSD size is much thinner than a CFexpress card, they are probably making it up with tons of thermal paste rather than a thicker aluminum plate.

Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now. In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter. I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive.

The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy. If you do price conversion do it right. US prices don’t include vat.

Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe. I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes.

Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes. No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes. Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education. They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone.

Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards. Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society. We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans.

One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund. And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans. So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes. That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly. And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue.

I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free. And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them. Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either.

My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford. I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data. Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops.

Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops. By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed.

My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown. Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying. I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money. It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling.

It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it. Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card? It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market. Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour.

Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit. I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer.

Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales. The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely.

In theory this is a good idea, and it may work for some NVMe drives, but for others, it may not work as well due to heat issues, even if you use the thermal paste which more or less will just help transfer the heat to the casing. But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with. Some controllers do get hot, and would be fine in a computer because there’s more airflow, but in a camera, not so much.

In theory, this device seems appealing, but the potentials for problems especially with some “performance” NVMe drives, which tend to run faster obviously, but at potentially higher temperatures again, fine for computer use or even laptop use where there is a fan or other cooling solution to help move the heat around, but not so much in a camera, which is the bigger concern here. In stead of saying “what if it doesn’t work” why don’t you try “what if it works?

So many half empty glasses here. It’s usually the controller that gets the hottest rather than the NAND so it’s also very localized. Most of them are also not sandwiched too badly against other components tho, I can see thermals being compounded inside a camera where the card slot is completely sealed in and it’s often located near the battery which will be another source of heat.

Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video. You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues. They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat.

My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat. Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs. I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K.

I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp. I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list. Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are. This could be a good alternative. Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later. May be so – but would you risk your camera warranty or insurance for a few dollars using home made card, not mentioning the possibility of losing all your photos if something go wrong – at least commercially available cards carry a warranty and possibly approval from your camera maker.

Mais51 – I think it is near impossible to see how such a failure would be caused. Nonetheless this is interesting and if it works I am not afraid to experiment.

Nobody is forcing you to do so too. Some CFex cards run very hot – up to 90oC – not too sure whether the custom case could handle such elevate temperature or melt down in the memory slot. Perhaps, but the “rip off” high priced cards generally have better QA in the materials.

So, you can select your NVMe here, but who makes the circuit board and controller that you plug it into? The controller will make a huge difference here as the NVMe will only run as fast as the controller lets it. But at least with the pre-made cards from Sandisk and others you know the rated speed. Here it’s anyone’s guess because just because the NVME claims to run at one speed, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get that speed the controller can bottleneck it.

They would have to find a way to prove that you used an “unsupported” card which may have lead to overheating, which is a long stretch on the camera mfr’s part. DIY version will not “melt” in memory card slot it is made of metal! I’ve used them in Nikons and Canons, and they work very well. Were they legit Ritz branded cards? I see a lot of discussions about people getting fake cards even fake Sandisk cards on Amazon Sony has just released a trio of impressively small, light, ultrawide lenses for APS-C.

These lenses are designed for vloggers, so Chris decided to film himself and find out how they perform. Holy moly, this thing is tiny! We take the adorable Sigma mm F2. Here’s what’s new and what we think so far We’ve been able to spend some quality time with Fujifilm’s APS-C flagship, and we have plenty of opinions! How do you make weird lens even weirder? Put a periscope on it! We check out the new Laowa Periprobe 24mm F14 2X and explore some of the creative things you can do with such a bizarre lens.

What’s the best camera for shooting landscapes? High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important.

In this buying guide we’ve rounded-up several great cameras for shooting landscapes, and recommended the best. If you’re looking for the perfect drone for yourself, or to gift someone special, we’ve gone through all of the options and selected our favorites. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality.

Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform. In this guide we’ve chosen a selection of cameras that make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images, ideal for sharing on social media. The lens is fully manual and offers a 16mm full-frame equivalent focal length.

It features a physical aperture dial, a minimum focusing distance of 25cm 9. This makes DJI the fifth entity to join the L-mount alliance, joining Leica, Leitz Cine, Panasonic and Sigma as partners in the mission to create ‘one unified lens mount standard. Do you want to shape and create content for the largest audience of photography and video enthusiasts in the world?

Go behind the scenes to see what it takes to shoot some of the most valuable race cars in the world. Although Adobe says it will eventually make the web-based version of Photoshop free for all to use, the beta testing is currently limited to Canada we’re quite sure Chris and Jordan had nothing to do with this, but you never know.

Adobe has released a major update to its Lightroom ecosystem that includes video editing capabilities, new preset functionality and much more. Capture One 22 But what’s do these modes achieve? We to look at how data is captured, how it’s stored and what benefits you should expect from bit capture. In addition to the new stills and video capture modes for the a1, Sony has also released a minor firmware update for its a7S III full-frame mirrorless camera. Have you ever come across a ‘Pro Mist’ or ‘Cinebloom’ filter and wondered what they do, or why you might want them?

This little guide will help you get started on your mist filter journey. For the first time, and aided by the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have measured the mass of an isolated black hole through the Milky Way Galaxy. While none of these are deal-breaking issues, here are some the annoying camera quirks that really get under Chris and Jordan’s skin. This could be one of Leica’s most expensive limited-edition kits if they do end up retailing for the prices they’re expected to fetch.

Who wouldn’t want a camera that looks like R2-D2 from Star Wars? James DeFehr developed Pyro , a film developer that promises extremely fine grain, high contrast, expanded tonal control and long shelf life. It looks like a promising developer for black and white film enthusiasts. Leica loves a good special edition camera and lens. The annual Comedy Pet Awards photo competition has released a collection of the best images submitted so far, showing off the funny side of all kinds of animals.

We go hands-on with the new XF mm F5. To make streaming and controlling your video streams easier and more accessible, Atomos has released the Zato Connect streaming monitor. You can control video feeds, add effects, and even record backup footage for ‘as-live’ streaming with the device. Technology component experts Techinsights has posted a detailed analysis to its website confirming Nikon is using a Sony Semiconductor image sensor inside its flagship Z9 mirrorless camera.

Firmware v2. Dubblefilm has announced a new ISO color film. The Cinema film promises distinct colors and tones and a halo effect around bright red lights. Panasonic says the L2 tech tie-up with Leica will not affect the L-mount alliance the two companies share with Sigma.

TimP A lot of fluff in these comments, normal cfexpress cards generate a huge amount of heat anyway, an SSD in a case is not going to be any worse. Alberto Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Richard Poinvil I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. And sorry that this isn’t very scientific.

Richard Poinvil Got mine all set up. Mike Don’t forget that thermal paste – eeeeeeeeesential! Scottelly An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them. TimP funnily enough most of the time is toshiba chips ;. Scottelly Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Scottelly And if they don’t fit right? If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item?

And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses. Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear. I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics.

If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more. Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money. Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change. But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer.

Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue.

The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make. An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside. Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make.

Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow. Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well.

I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available.

MonoCA Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature.

Prophecies The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead.

US prices don’t include vat So they cost about the same. Richard Butler xtam – Sure, but at the point you risk opening up the discussion to an ever broadening discussion of levels of government support, healthcare and cost-of-living, which has nothing at all to do with cameras or photography.

Also the reason sintech recommend the 1tb toshiba for 8k raw is because it has a higher max write speed of vs for the other models. So can handle the intensive recording of 8k better. Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Noctua NT-H1 as thermal paste the pin adapter causes a small step, using the paste you can compensate, with the pad, you can’t.

The first issue that I had was the card would not eject in my Nikon Z7. The enclosure was stuck inside the camera and would not eject. I had to pull the card out with needle nose pliers. I knew the card-stuck problem would be even worse on my Panasonic S1R because that camera has an even tighter slot than the Nikon.

I took the enclosure apart and took the parts down to my machine shop and deburred all the edges with a scotch-brite wheel and gently rounded the sharp edges and made sure everything was well feathered where the bottom meets the top. The card now ejects fine on my Z7 but still doesn’t eject without coaxing on the S1R. Otherwise the card reads and writes just great and very fast. I added CPU thermal paste and used medium strength locktite on the screws. The card is a good option as a backup for my Z7 but the S1R is very picky about “fat” cards and so its a no-go on that camera.

I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. Got mine all set up. Card got pretty hot but no damage. An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them.

I would trust a ssd I buy x times more than any black box sandisk will sell me. Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? People used to mention risk to me when I would tell them I use a micro-SD card in an adapter, rather than buying a bunch of different memory card formats. I think people are just negative Nellies sometimes.

If some find this risky, then it’s not for them, they should pay the premium for the standard solution. I have used a similar solution an adapter to take SD cards in my Canon 5D the original, classic 5D for 12 years.

Never had a single issue, and never had to buy the more expensive CF cards anymore. I never noticed any negative effect on performance. It would be advisable -and safer- to use thermal pads instead of thermal paste. Thermal pads are widely available and sold for peanuts in eBay. And if they don’t fit right? I say stick with thermal paste. They would probably just include a thermal pad with the device if all SSD devices were exactly the same thickness.

Just did a big pea sized blob of thermal paste in middle of chip and sandwiched case together took apart again to take a look and thermal paste fully spread out over chip and perfect at that point! I love stuff like this so very excited to try it out.

Hopefully it works good. Way back in some folks here on DP Review were removing Microdrives from inexpensive MP3 players to use in their cameras. Sometimes it actually worked!

Of course, with 3. This looks like a great solution to the exorbitant CFE prices, but right now it seems Sintech has run out of their adapter already. I know that’s a joke, but seriously, not much of anything. Installing an NVME drive in a computer is super easy, and anyone to do it. This is even easier My only question would be about possible patent infringements, though I don’t know what that would be. Not knowing much about this process I’ll defer to you.

I’m glad people are exploring other less expensive options. Also, I’m not very good at telling jokes :. Have K per day for some international sporting events, mixed with very rare video I hope this drives prices down. We’ve been raked over the coals for years.

The changing of media is a killer on budgets. Example could be 1DX. The spend on cards not used, or used rarely now adds up. I hope the R1 will have dual same media as in the Z9. It makes workflow so much easier in production and post. People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong.

Prices fell on CF and SD back in the day because they were used by millions of devices. The game is over. No new storage format will ever achieve the mass adoption necessary to make it as cheap as SD. Therefore the only answer to those rip-offs is devices like these, or manufacturers with the balls to shun them.

NVME is the next one. This should put a damper on the outrageously high prices. Me too. The first time was way back when I used 2 GB cards. I was amazed, and decided to give them a try. I used that adapter and various micro-SD cards for years, eventually stepping up to 4 GB and then 8 GB cards, and saving myself a lot of money in the process, because CF cards have stayed much more expensive than micro-SD cards.

I still use the adapter on my 5D-I mostly 32 GB cards, since the files are relatively small. Of course I don’t need an adapter on my 5D-IV. It should be, but you’d be better off calling NewEgg voice chat. Their staff is usually helpful in my experience. In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility.

Apparently others overheat, or are not compatible. I would stick with high quality stuff, which normally produces less heat, and performs faster. I have no idea why. Please let us know how it goes. Nikonmaniac – dunno yet. The NVMe arrived today, but the adapter has not yet. Hopefully one of them will arrive soon. It will also be interesting to see how the speed compares to the expensive cards.

I really want a big drive for photos exclusively, so I that could reserve my proper cards for video use, but the pricing on CFE is generally insane. Awesome content guys thanks very much! Never knew they were based on NVMe drives. I did wonder. Could always use thermal pad instead of paste I expect? You probably could. It might also fully depend on the SSD.

Some are getting hotter which should benefit from the better heat transfer of thermal paste while those ssds not getting that hot in use might be fine. The big question is what the right thickness for the pad would be.

Thanks for the reply. I have a load of pads of different thickness so should be good. I like an electronics DIY project You’re welcome. Just figure out how hot the ssd you’re going to use gets before trying it out and maybe consider a different one not getting that hot.

It’s unfortunately hard to find reviews including temperature measurement during use. You better don’t want the ssd to do an emergency shut down if it gets too hot resulting in a card failure message on the camera display.

If you consider it also have a look at the adapters surface if it is polished as smooth as a cpu block or more rough. If the latter is the case you shouldn’t consider thermal pads anymore.

Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature. It occured to me that the host card has to have electronics to take a four bit wide data stream from the NVMe and convert to a two bit wide form for the camera interface. That, I guess, could cut the speed in half unless the camera side is specially fast. Or perhaps the reason for the high CF prices low volume? Wow, that instructional photo of thermal paste seems a bit much.

Reminds me of The Verge’s infamous video on PC assembling. The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter. Since that SSD size is much thinner than a CFexpress card, they are probably making it up with tons of thermal paste rather than a thicker aluminum plate.

They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness. Extra thermal paste is needed, because there is a lot of space between the SSD and the enclosure. Some SSD models probably don’t require as much thermal paste as others. Just remember to remove any labels or stickers before applying the thermal paste.

I am willing to give this a try so long as it is guaranteed not to damage my camera, which I will need to look into peer reviews for. I think the risk is related to damaging the ssd and loosing warranty. I don’t see any reason for any damage in the camera. Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube. These things do work just fine. People usually don’t have just one memory card. For working pros including myself , the price of CFexpress cards can really hurt my wallet.

Nobody pays a premium because they want to. If I can save money here and there, why not? You missed the point on saving money wherever I can. If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item? And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses. Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear.

I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics. If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more. Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money. Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change. But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer.

Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue. The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make. An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside. Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make.

Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow. Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well.

I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now. In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter.

I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive. The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy. If you do price conversion do it right. US prices don’t include vat. Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe.

I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes.

Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes. No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes. Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education.

They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone. Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards.

Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society. We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans. One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund.

And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans. So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes. That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly. And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue. I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free.

And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them. Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either.

My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford. I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data. Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops.

Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops. By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed.

My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown. Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying. I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money.

It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling.

It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it. Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card? It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market.

Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour. Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit. I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer. Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales.

The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely. In theory this is a good idea, and it may work for some NVMe drives, but for others, it may not work as well due to heat issues, even if you use the thermal paste which more or less will just help transfer the heat to the casing.

But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with. Some controllers do get hot, and would be fine in a computer because there’s more airflow, but in a camera, not so much. In theory, this device seems appealing, but the potentials for problems especially with some “performance” NVMe drives, which tend to run faster obviously, but at potentially higher temperatures again, fine for computer use or even laptop use where there is a fan or other cooling solution to help move the heat around, but not so much in a camera, which is the bigger concern here.

In stead of saying “what if it doesn’t work” why don’t you try “what if it works? So many half empty glasses here. It’s usually the controller that gets the hottest rather than the NAND so it’s also very localized.

Most of them are also not sandwiched too badly against other components tho, I can see thermals being compounded inside a camera where the card slot is completely sealed in and it’s often located near the battery which will be another source of heat. Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video.

You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues.

They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat. My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat. Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs. I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K.

I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp.

I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list. Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are. This could be a good alternative.

Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later. May be so – but would you risk your camera warranty or insurance for a few dollars using home made card, not mentioning the possibility of losing all your photos if something go wrong – at least commercially available cards carry a warranty and possibly approval from your camera maker. Mais51 – I think it is near impossible to see how such a failure would be caused. Nonetheless this is interesting and if it works I am not afraid to experiment.

Nobody is forcing you to do so too. Some CFex cards run very hot – up to 90oC – not too sure whether the custom case could handle such elevate temperature or melt down in the memory slot. Perhaps, but the “rip off” high priced cards generally have better QA in the materials. So, you can select your NVMe here, but who makes the circuit board and controller that you plug it into? The controller will make a huge difference here as the NVMe will only run as fast as the controller lets it. But at least with the pre-made cards from Sandisk and others you know the rated speed.

Here it’s anyone’s guess because just because the NVME claims to run at one speed, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get that speed the controller can bottleneck it. They would have to find a way to prove that you used an “unsupported” card which may have lead to overheating, which is a long stretch on the camera mfr’s part.

You missed the point on saving money wherever I can. If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item? And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses. Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear.

TimP A lot of fluff in these comments, normal cfexpress cards generate a huge amount of heat anyway, an SSD in a case is not going to be any worse. Alberto Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Richard Poinvil I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. And sorry that this isn’t very scientific.

Richard Poinvil Got mine all set up. Mike Don’t forget that thermal paste – eeeeeeeeesential! Scottelly An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them. TimP funnily enough most of the time is toshiba chips ;. Scottelly Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Scottelly And if they don’t fit right? RMK Colorado The space inside very tight and thermal pads wouldn’t fit. Just use CPU thermal paste.

TimP really not enough space, didnt have any 0. Salgado Photo How do you know? Frankinidaho Geez, what could go wrong? Frankinidaho arniebook And it was even Y2K compliant. Francis Sawyer People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong. Scottelly Me too.

It’s the correct form factor. Scottelly In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility.

Nikonmaniac Does it work? Scottelly Awesome! Kharan Nice! JT26 Awesome content guys thanks very much! PredatorsPrey You probably could. JT26 Thanks for the reply. PredatorsPrey You’re welcome. MonoCA Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature. Razor The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter.

Scottelly They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness. Chaitanya S Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube. Go figure. Relaxed Seriously. PredatorsPrey Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow. Scottelly I’m sure they’re coming.

Prophecies The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. US prices don’t include vat So they cost about the same. Richard Butler xtam – Sure, but at the point you risk opening up the discussion to an ever broadening discussion of levels of government support, healthcare and cost-of-living, which has nothing at all to do with cameras or photography.

Mr Bolton I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. However, we can’t have such nice things here in the States, because “Freedom. Scottelly No significant taxes? Scottelly Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society. He’s not paying enough in taxes.

Mr Bolton I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. Mr Bolton And finally.. So why exactly, should I be thanking anyone for that? Snoddas Probably a rebranded Delkin card.

Проституция в Испании запрещена, а сеньор Ролдан был человеком осторожным. Он уже не один раз обжигался, когда полицейские чиновники выдавали себя за похотливых туристов. Я хотел бы с ней покувыркаться. Ролдан сразу решил, что это подстава. Если он скажет «да», его подвергнут большому штрафу, да к тому же заставят предоставить одну из лучших сопровождающих полицейскому комиссару на весь уик-энд за здорово живешь.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I would guess the card isnt recognized because it has no partitions. Put in your cfexpress card reader, see if it shows up in windows. If not open Disk Management and you will probably get a message saying need to initialise disk before it can be read by this app Then format disk again from within camera menus. Had unlimited burst on mechanical shutter couldnt get it to buffer after hundreds of shots, about 85 before buffer on electronic shutter shooting RAW.

Recorded 8k raw no issue. Does get hot but I wouldn’t say its scary hot and as long as you get the thermal paste right the heat is dissipated via the entire aluminium case of the adaptor anyway. Then put card in camera and do a another low level format on it. A lot of fluff in these comments, normal cfexpress cards generate a huge amount of heat anyway, an SSD in a case is not going to be any worse. CFExpress cards are exactly the same technology as nvme ssds why pay more? Also the reason sintech recommend the 1tb toshiba for 8k raw is because it has a higher max write speed of vs for the other models.

So can handle the intensive recording of 8k better. Kioxia gb works pefectly on R5, R3 and D Noctua NT-H1 as thermal paste the pin adapter causes a small step, using the paste you can compensate, with the pad, you can’t. The first issue that I had was the card would not eject in my Nikon Z7.

The enclosure was stuck inside the camera and would not eject. I had to pull the card out with needle nose pliers.

I knew the card-stuck problem would be even worse on my Panasonic S1R because that camera has an even tighter slot than the Nikon. I took the enclosure apart and took the parts down to my machine shop and deburred all the edges with a scotch-brite wheel and gently rounded the sharp edges and made sure everything was well feathered where the bottom meets the top.

The card now ejects fine on my Z7 but still doesn’t eject without coaxing on the S1R. Otherwise the card reads and writes just great and very fast. I added CPU thermal paste and used medium strength locktite on the screws. The card is a good option as a backup for my Z7 but the S1R is very picky about “fat” cards and so its a no-go on that camera. I also shot frames as fast as I could on both cards. Got mine all set up. Card got pretty hot but no damage.

An interesting follow-up article would be to take apart a few CF-Express cards to see what’s inside them. I would trust a ssd I buy x times more than any black box sandisk will sell me. Yeah, it’s amazing, isn’t it? People used to mention risk to me when I would tell them I use a micro-SD card in an adapter, rather than buying a bunch of different memory card formats.

I think people are just negative Nellies sometimes. If some find this risky, then it’s not for them, they should pay the premium for the standard solution. I have used a similar solution an adapter to take SD cards in my Canon 5D the original, classic 5D for 12 years.

Never had a single issue, and never had to buy the more expensive CF cards anymore. I never noticed any negative effect on performance. It would be advisable -and safer- to use thermal pads instead of thermal paste. Thermal pads are widely available and sold for peanuts in eBay. And if they don’t fit right?

I say stick with thermal paste. They would probably just include a thermal pad with the device if all SSD devices were exactly the same thickness. Just did a big pea sized blob of thermal paste in middle of chip and sandwiched case together took apart again to take a look and thermal paste fully spread out over chip and perfect at that point! I love stuff like this so very excited to try it out.

Hopefully it works good. Way back in some folks here on DP Review were removing Microdrives from inexpensive MP3 players to use in their cameras. Sometimes it actually worked! Of course, with 3. This looks like a great solution to the exorbitant CFE prices, but right now it seems Sintech has run out of their adapter already.

I know that’s a joke, but seriously, not much of anything. Installing an NVME drive in a computer is super easy, and anyone to do it. This is even easier My only question would be about possible patent infringements, though I don’t know what that would be. Not knowing much about this process I’ll defer to you. I’m glad people are exploring other less expensive options. Also, I’m not very good at telling jokes :.

Have K per day for some international sporting events, mixed with very rare video I hope this drives prices down. We’ve been raked over the coals for years. The changing of media is a killer on budgets. Example could be 1DX. The spend on cards not used, or used rarely now adds up. I hope the R1 will have dual same media as in the Z9. It makes workflow so much easier in production and post.

People always predict “prices will fall” on every new rip-off flash-storage standard, but they’re wrong. Prices fell on CF and SD back in the day because they were used by millions of devices.

The game is over. No new storage format will ever achieve the mass adoption necessary to make it as cheap as SD. Therefore the only answer to those rip-offs is devices like these, or manufacturers with the balls to shun them. NVME is the next one. This should put a damper on the outrageously high prices. Me too. The first time was way back when I used 2 GB cards. I was amazed, and decided to give them a try. I used that adapter and various micro-SD cards for years, eventually stepping up to 4 GB and then 8 GB cards, and saving myself a lot of money in the process, because CF cards have stayed much more expensive than micro-SD cards.

I still use the adapter on my 5D-I mostly 32 GB cards, since the files are relatively small. Of course I don’t need an adapter on my 5D-IV. It should be, but you’d be better off calling NewEgg voice chat. Their staff is usually helpful in my experience. In the article it gives a link to the manufacturer’s on-line store, where in includes some information about compatibility. Apparently others overheat, or are not compatible.

I would stick with high quality stuff, which normally produces less heat, and performs faster. I have no idea why. Please let us know how it goes. Nikonmaniac – dunno yet. The NVMe arrived today, but the adapter has not yet. Hopefully one of them will arrive soon. It will also be interesting to see how the speed compares to the expensive cards. I really want a big drive for photos exclusively, so I that could reserve my proper cards for video use, but the pricing on CFE is generally insane.

Awesome content guys thanks very much! Never knew they were based on NVMe drives. I did wonder. Could always use thermal pad instead of paste I expect? You probably could. It might also fully depend on the SSD. Some are getting hotter which should benefit from the better heat transfer of thermal paste while those ssds not getting that hot in use might be fine.

The big question is what the right thickness for the pad would be. Thanks for the reply. I have a load of pads of different thickness so should be good. I like an electronics DIY project You’re welcome. Just figure out how hot the ssd you’re going to use gets before trying it out and maybe consider a different one not getting that hot.

It’s unfortunately hard to find reviews including temperature measurement during use. You better don’t want the ssd to do an emergency shut down if it gets too hot resulting in a card failure message on the camera display. If you consider it also have a look at the adapters surface if it is polished as smooth as a cpu block or more rough.

If the latter is the case you shouldn’t consider thermal pads anymore. Er, high quality expensive NVMe units can have a thermal diode that, with the software that comes with, can report the temperature.

It occured to me that the host card has to have electronics to take a four bit wide data stream from the NVMe and convert to a two bit wide form for the camera interface. That, I guess, could cut the speed in half unless the camera side is specially fast. Or perhaps the reason for the high CF prices low volume? Wow, that instructional photo of thermal paste seems a bit much. Reminds me of The Verge’s infamous video on PC assembling. The enclosure may be designed with with a thinner materials to cheap out on BOM cost while charging a lot for what is an aluminum case and a passive pin adapter.

Since that SSD size is much thinner than a CFexpress card, they are probably making it up with tons of thermal paste rather than a thicker aluminum plate.

They probably designed the enclosure to accept SSDs of various thickness. Extra thermal paste is needed, because there is a lot of space between the SSD and the enclosure. Some SSD models probably don’t require as much thermal paste as others. Just remember to remove any labels or stickers before applying the thermal paste. I am willing to give this a try so long as it is guaranteed not to damage my camera, which I will need to look into peer reviews for. I think the risk is related to damaging the ssd and loosing warranty.

I don’t see any reason for any damage in the camera. Wendel of Level1Techs has done a review of even jankier solution which allowed nvme ssd to be used as CFexpress do check it out on youtube.

These things do work just fine. People usually don’t have just one memory card. For working pros including myself , the price of CFexpress cards can really hurt my wallet. Nobody pays a premium because they want to.

If I can save money here and there, why not? You missed the point on saving money wherever I can. If there’s no risk of camera damage, why would you willingly pay extra for a similar item? And no, none of my memory cards are more important than my R3 or the expensive lenses. Perhaps the photos in the cards right after an assignment, but cards are more easily replaced than gear. I love people commenting who clearly don’t even understand the basics. If you shoot to two card for security or keep one copy for you and the other for the client, you might need two more.

Even when you’re reimbursed by the client, it’s still a lot of money. Now change the format on a photographer. I don’t care who you are, that’s a chunk of change. But then, what do i know, I’m no engineer. Is the ROI not justifiable given the development costs, or is this just an issue with patent, i have no clue.

The electrical and elecronic interfaces are exactly the same, which is why the adapters are quite simple to make. An adapter would basically be a SD card reader, and would need elecronics inside. Note however that an adapter converting CFexpress type-A to type-B and type-C would be also easy to make. Also some cameras use the vpg mode for which a micro sd would be way too slow even the fastest UHS-II card would be too slow.

Some CFexpress haven’t implemented it fully resulting in a non working condition after a R5 fw update which enabled vpg These cards needed a firmware update as well. I’m sure they’re coming. Probably there will be one that works with Micro-SD Express cards, when those finally become available. There just aren’t enough cameras out there that use CF Express cards right now.

In a year or two we’ll probably see such an adapter. I’m not too keen on trying this Frankenstein out on a Z9 that I’ve yet to receive. The cost of CFast cards is one of the reasons I shoot video externally on the Atomos recorder instead. Funnily enough for you in US is much cheaper than here in Italy. If you do price conversion do it right. US prices don’t include vat. Living in the US. There is sales tax here that is not included in the price indeed, but it is much less than the typical VAT in Europe.

I pay 10 percent sales tax on everything I buy except basic food and not restaurant food, just from the grocery store. Those two total over half my monthly income on a good month, and don’t take into account all the other taxes. Washington state’s property tax based system is super regressive, punishing us workers while the wealthy pay no significant taxes.

No significant taxes? That guy paid more taxes than ten regular people, yet you say people like that are paying to significant taxes. Well buddy, people like him pay for your kids’ education. They also pay to maintain the sewer system, the roads, and for the prisons and police stations, without which your neighborhood would be a war zone.

Their neighborhood would have its own, private security force, and high walls to keep the criminals out, but regular people can’t afford extreme measures to keep their neighborhood safe like tall gates and a guard house with armed guards. Thank God for the wealthy, who pay many thousands of dollars every year in property taxes each year, because it props up society.

We’d be a lot worse off without people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Those billions are safely stored in the Caymans. One of my bike shop clients is among the attorneys who manages that fund.

And of course, the CEOs who make times what those who generate their capital for them earn, are also keeping their money in the Caymans. So your friend pays fifty grand in taxes. That implies he’s got the millions needed to buy a property expensive enough to be taxed that highly.

And before you say it: YES, I would love to be rich enough to face this issue. I feel like I could live pretty well on the first ten million.. I don’t think that myself or anyone needs a hundred billion dollars all to themselves, tax free. And finally.. He comes out here, buys a couple plots of land and combines them. Then builds a huge, ostentatious McMansion on the property. My property taxes go up several hundred dollars every month, and he doesn’t shop at my bike shop, either.

My town’s bylaws are specifically set up to prevent this, but his money greases palms and he gets the zoning variance that us townies could never afford. I’d like to know if anyone has ever tested the relatively new Manfrotto CF express B cards. They are said to be even faster than Prograde as concerns writing data. Shooting bit lossless compressed RAW. NEF , I get typically frames with this card in a single 7FPS continuous burst before the buffer fills and the frame rate drops.

Switching to bit lossless compressed file format, I get around 42 frames before the frame rate drops. By comparison, with a GB Sony Tough CF-e card I get basically infinite frames at bit lossless compressed, and about 63 frames at bit lossless compressed. My results are based on a GB card purchased in August Micron has announced one in January, but its price is still unknown.

Richard Butler The scenario above is lovely, no betraying. I mean the original Type-B cards could be made for less money. It would be more useful to have a Express to fast SD adaptor, to have two SD cards for a R5 Those memory cards are designed for laptops which have heatsinks for cards and fans for cooling.

It would cost millions to design a translator ASIC and you’d never turn a profit on it. Because they are basically SSDs. Does such a thing even exist that’s not a CFE B card? It’s also a matter of supply and demand, those SSDs are being made and sold in larger quantities, fast removable media probably has a far smaller market.

Most people aren’t worried about GB cards. There are cameras out there that fill a 1TB card with video in less than an hour. Media costs starts making the camera seem the cheap bit.

I am in the tech field and have built a lot of external drives using varies different type of NVME M. Interesting what you call a computer. Apple is quite common in the states, but in the states only If you watch for sales. The only potential downside to this is that some NVMe drives I’ve seen can run hot especially during continuous writing or reading , so this can potentially pose a problem for the camera and could possibly trigger a thermal shutdown of the camera although probably not that likely.

In theory this is a good idea, and it may work for some NVMe drives, but for others, it may not work as well due to heat issues, even if you use the thermal paste which more or less will just help transfer the heat to the casing.

But for me, I’d rather pay more for a pre-made card from Sandisk for example , and have a warranty where I can just send it back without having two pieces from two different mfrs to deal with. Some controllers do get hot, and would be fine in a computer because there’s more airflow, but in a camera, not so much. In theory, this device seems appealing, but the potentials for problems especially with some “performance” NVMe drives, which tend to run faster obviously, but at potentially higher temperatures again, fine for computer use or even laptop use where there is a fan or other cooling solution to help move the heat around, but not so much in a camera, which is the bigger concern here.

In stead of saying “what if it doesn’t work” why don’t you try “what if it works? So many half empty glasses here. It’s usually the controller that gets the hottest rather than the NAND so it’s also very localized. Most of them are also not sandwiched too badly against other components tho, I can see thermals being compounded inside a camera where the card slot is completely sealed in and it’s often located near the battery which will be another source of heat.

Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video. You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues.

They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat. My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat. Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs. I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K.

I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp. I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list. Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are. This could be a good alternative. Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later.

Also, I’m not very good at telling jokes :. Have K per day for some international sporting events, mixed with very rare video I hope this drives prices down. We’ve been raked over the coals for years. The changing of media is a killer on budgets.

Example could be 1DX. The spend on cards not used, or used rarely now adds up. I hope the R1 will have dual same media as in the Z9. It makes workflow so much easier in production and post.

Could be a non-issue for more laid back stills shooting and a whole other story for bursts or video. You don’t really need something like this for laid back shooting tho, so those most interested in it are also those most likely to run into issues.

They do, but they also have a fan in most cases, or are some how attached to the outer casing through thermal pads to help dissipate heat. My other concern with such a card case is if it got distorted from heat. Not looking forward to the day when on top of all the other idiosyncrasies we actually have to worry about CF-E thermals, heh, guess there’s something to be said for those QVLs.

I am usually a “whatever works” kind of person, but there’s no way I’m trying a homemade memory card in my Z9 – given the amount of heat that is produced by cameras filming 8K.

I think I’m even going to stick with the obscenely expensive Nikon batteries for this camera again, because of the internal temp. I think I was shooting 15 fps. The Anker is on the Nikon approved list.

Costs half a 18 D including the USB charger. Has more than twice the power. It shows how a rip-off these CFexpress cards actually are. This could be a good alternative. Will wait for the first feedbacks but am tempted to try rather sooner than later. May be so – but would you risk your camera warranty or insurance for a few dollars using home made card, not mentioning the possibility of losing all your photos if something go wrong – at least commercially available cards carry a warranty and possibly approval from your camera maker.

Mais51 – I think it is near impossible to see how such a failure would be caused. Nonetheless this is interesting and if it works I am not afraid to experiment. Nobody is forcing you to do so too. Some CFex cards run very hot – up to 90oC – not too sure whether the custom case could handle such elevate temperature or melt down in the memory slot.

Perhaps, but the “rip off” high priced cards generally have better QA in the materials. So, you can select your NVMe here, but who makes the circuit board and controller that you plug it into? The controller will make a huge difference here as the NVMe will only run as fast as the controller lets it. But at least with the pre-made cards from Sandisk and others you know the rated speed.

Here it’s anyone’s guess because just because the NVME claims to run at one speed, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get that speed the controller can bottleneck it. They would have to find a way to prove that you used an “unsupported” card which may have lead to overheating, which is a long stretch on the camera mfr’s part.
