I’ve seen some people report that their Sandisk CFexpress cards are working fine, so it’s possible the 128GB cards are working but definitely not the 64GB cards. CFexpress cards operate at different speeds with different sizes, so it seems like there is a lot of firmware work Nikon will have to do to get everything going smoothly. The speed the Sandisk CFexpress card was slightly slower than the XQD cards. This is likely again due to the firmware not being optimized for the card. However, I don’t expect to see any significant improvements to CFexpress speeds even with the Sony cards since there is likely a PCIe 2.0 hardware bottleneck in the Z cameras. But I’ll let you know when the Sony cards come in. Also, CFexpress cards will not work in my Sony XQD reader. I’m unable to get a reader yet but I will test speeds as soon as they come in as well as some more tests with more cards as they become available to me.
