I hear ya but unfortunately we haven’t got the means to have that equipment in hand for testing. The purpose of RAW stats is to demonstrtate the absolute maximum performance that can be achieved. By testing frame rate, internal camera cache size as well as the cameras sustained transfer speed, we are testing the camera…and not the storage medium. Digital cameras are notorious for cheaping out on the data transfer interface. Stay tuned though as we have a 2TB Type A report which will be published soon.

There is quite a few Sony cameras that use CFExpress Type A cards including the A9, A9II, A9II and the A1 II. Plus, the Sony FX video cameras. Sony is the only major brand using Type A cards. The value of Type A cards is their small size and exceptional speed. They are slower than Type B cards, but the alternative for Sony cameras is SDXC cards, and the Type A are way faster. Type A cards work in the field with no issues for my A1 and the Sony A9III (whose top speed is 120fps). One case where raw stats does not tell the whole story, here camera frame rates, the camera’s cache and a card’s sustained transfer speed means more than raw stats.
