EDITOR’S CHOICE
WHETHER YOU’RE SHOOTING high-resolution stills or 4K video, super-fast modern cameras need lightning-quick memory cards to match. Use slower cards and you won’t hit the peaks of performance that you’ve invested in – a bit like buying a Porsche and fitting budget tyres. That’s why most top-end cameras are switching to CFexpress format, including the likes of Nikon with its Z 9 flagship and Canon with the EOS R3. Faster and more durable than SD cards, CFexpress offers a next-level experience, and the Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Gold Series is the prime example. In essence, a great card is measured in three ways: speed, capacity and reliability. Is it fast enough to get the optimum performance from your camera and when downloading pictures or video? Does it have enough space for the amount of images or footage you want to shoot? And, perhaps most important of all, can it

be trusted to not let you down, losing moments that can’t be repeated? The performance of Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Gold Series cards is second to none. They have write speeds of up to 1000MB/s, which means no clogging of the buffer when shooting high-res Raw files at speeds like 30fps, and seamless video recording at 4K or 8K. Used with the Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Reader, read speeds hit 1750MB/s, so you won’t be hanging around waiting for footage to download. In terms of capacity, there’s no shortage of space. Of course, the size of card you need depends on what you’re shooting, but the Professional CFexpress Type B Gold Series range gives plenty of options on that score – with 64GB and 128GB great for many hundreds of hi-res Raw files, and the 256GB and 512GB versions suited to memory munching 4K or 8K video.
