Originally, XQD was going to be the future of CompactFlash (it still is, only it evolved to CFexpress).

That's because of the XQD slot in the camera, which has been upgraded to support CFexpress (Type B) via firmware updates. It's the Z6 and Z7 owner-original models-that frets over cards. Note also that you need one of the Sony MRW card readers. Unfortunately, it does not scan XQD cards, or cards from other manufacturers. This macOS and Windows program will scan Sony SD or CFe cards to tell you if a card is reaching the limit of its write cycles. The difference in maximum sustained write capability is as much as 140MBs versus 1480MBs!ĭid you know? In doing research for this article, I stumbled across a Sony utility, Media Scan Utility. This is important if you want best possible buffer performance. These include Angelbird XT, Delkin Black, and ProGrade Cobalt cards. Z9 owner - Buy CFe (CFexpress) Type B cards with a high-sustained write capability (not what's printed on the outside of the card!).Z6 II and Z7 II owner - Buy CFe (CFexpress) Type B cards of any speed for the first slot, and UHS-II capable SD cards of at least 300Mbps that are also marked U3 for video capability for the second slot.Make sure they say U3 for video capability.Īnything less than what I reference above may cause you issues, though for basic still photography that isn't continuous, pretty much any old SD card should work. Z5 owner - Buy UHS-II capable SD cards of at least 300MBps speed.Make sure they say U3 for video capability. Z30, Z50, or Zfc owner - Buy UHS-I capable SD cards of at least 95MBps speed.

Okay, if you own a Zfc, Z30, Z50, or Z5, the situation is simple, and what you need to do is clear:

Are your books just rewrites of the manual?.
