New Memory Cards for High-End Workflows
Sony’s latest CFexpress Type A cards are designed to meet the heavy demands of professional content creation. Whether it is capturing high-resolution stills or shooting 4K and higher-resolution video, these cards maintain a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s. That level of consistency is critical as it helps prevent dropped frames during high-bitrate video recording, which can be a nightmare for filmmakers.
Beyond performance, durability plays a big role here. The reinforced resin body makes these cards five times more impact-resistant than previous models. They can survive drops from as high as 7.5 meters and withstand bend pressure of up to 150 newtons, which is over ten times stronger than older CFexpress Type A cards. For creators who often work in tough outdoor environments, that extra resilience could be the difference between a saved project and a costly setback.
Another practical benefit is their compact size. They do not weigh down the camera body, keeping setups more portable for creators who are constantly moving between shoots.
The MRW-G3 Card Reader
To go along with the new memory cards, Sony has introduced the MRW-G3 CFexpress Type A reader. It is fully compatible with the new CFexpress 4 standard and makes use of USB 40Gbps for rapid file offloading. This speed can be a huge advantage in post-production, cutting down on waiting times when transferring heavy 4K footage or batches of RAW images.
The MRW-G3 is not limited to just PCs. It also works with smartphones and tablets, giving creators more flexibility to transfer or even edit content across multiple devices. Sony has also built in a heat-dissipation design to prevent overheating during extended use. That means more stable transfers and reliability, especially in professional settings where consistency is non-negotiable.
