Quote:you can get an SD to Cfexpress adaptor for about £9.
Are you sure you don't mean SD to CF?
Surely the CFexpress cards are designed to be more robust and have faster read & write speeds that an adapter would not duplicate.
I have had issues with micro sd cards in sd adapters so for me I will continue with the real thing

There's also SD Express. It's all becoming a bit confusing! 😱
Looks like the card speed war has taken over from the megapixel war.
For stills photography I wonder how much any of this matters? I can see that if you are shooting 8K video it might. My only device capable of that is my mobile phone - which doesn't take a card at all.

Quote:Surely an SD card in a CFExpress shaped holder is still an SD Card. Real CF Express cards are more expensive for a reason - they are faster and more reliable.
As an analogy, putting a Ford Fiesta engine in a Ferrari will not give Ferrari performance.
Another misunderstanding - it's not about putting an SD card in a CF Express case, it's putting an SSD in one.

I think we all realised the video was about that. But simply looking at simpler /cheaper - and (?) more reliable - options.
Completely OTT for stills photography but could (maybe) be relevant for shooting video with the Nikon Z9 which can do 8.3K at 60fps, as I understand it.
