I have been keeping my eye out for a Type A memory card for my Sony mirrorless camera for a couple of months now - and I have just seen a Prime Day deal to make me take the plunge and buy one.
The Nextorage 480GB card costs £122.39 - with a nice 20% saving in the Amazon sale. It is a lot more than the SDXC cards I have been using in my Sony A7 IV camera since I bought it back in March – but when you think of it in terms of how much you pay per gigabyte this card is an absolute steal. It works out at just 25p per gigabyte!
480GB is a big capacity for a card - almost half a terabyte of space for my Raw files and video footage. But the real attraction of the CFexpress Type A card option on my camera is the superfast write speeds that it offers - a staggering 950MB per second! That will be great when recording long 4K clips - or for shooting prolonged burst modes using my A7 IV 10fps high-speed continuous shooting mode.
Nextorage may not be the best-known memory card company in the business – but they have not been around that long. It is a Japanese company that was founded by ex-Sony engineers – and of course, they are the people who pioneered the CFexpress Type A standard, which, for the moment at least, is only used on Sony mirrorless and cinema cameras.
