The ProGrade CFexpress Type A memory card is a new release that promises outstanding minimum sustained write speeds and is specifically designed for high resolution video. Prior to this announcement, the only company to produce CFexpress Type A cards was Sony. With ProGrade now bringing these to the market, users can expect great performance and quality at a lower price. CFexpress Type A is a new media format that hasn’t seen widespread adoption yet. These cards are smaller than SD cards but more than double their theoretical write speed. Sony was the only manufacturer of these new cards, until now.

Currently, the only cameras that use CFexpress Type A media are the Sony A7S III, Sony a1, Sony FX3, and Sony FX6.
