Next-Generation Performance

Super-charge professional video and photography workflows with Sony's CFexpress Type A memory cards, designed for advanced cameras like the α7S III. These are the world's first CFexpress Type A cards, delivering extraordinary speed—approximately twice that of the best SDXC cards—in a similarly compact form factor. Featuring write speeds up to 700 MB/s and professional-grade durability, Sony CFexpress Type A cards enable a wide range of new imaging possibilities.

• Ultra-high-speed data transfer up to 800 MB/s (read speed) for enhanced productivity
• Write speeds up to 700 MB/s ideal for high-bitrate video recording with the α7S III
• Compact and rugged design for challenging shooting environments

Rugged, Reliable, Ready

Partnered with professional equipment such as the α7S III, these cards are built for the unpredictability of sports, location shoots, and outdoor expeditions. Designed for extended professional use in extreme environments—from snow-covered mountains to sand-blown deserts—they provide confidence in shooting, swapping, and storing data.

Extraordinary Response Speed

Expand photographic possibilities with uncompressed continuous RAW shooting for fast-moving subjects like motorsports and wildlife. Writing speeds up to 700 MB/s outperform even the best SDXC cards, ensuring ultra-fast camera buffer clearance for responsive continuous shooting.

Ultra-Efficient Workflow

Accelerate workflows with the optimized MRW-G2 card reader and ultra-fast read speeds up to 800 MB/s for rapid data transfer and backup. Seamlessly handle high-resolution photos and high-bitrate video to complete projects quickly.

Dependable Videography

Optimized for continuous, high-bandwidth data writing, these cards are ideal for professional high-bitrate video recording such as 4K 120p capture on cameras like the α7S III. They carry the VPG (Video Performance Guarantee) 400 for extra reassurance and video recording stability.

TOUGH Card Design

Sony's unique TOUGH card design offers over 10 times greater bend resistance than standard CFexpress cards. Tested for rigidity up to 150 newtons, the cards protect data during drops from up to 7.5 meters—five times the CFexpress Type A standard.
