I get asked quite often what I prefer with respect to storage cards in my camera equipment.  I try to stay away from exact brands and move the conversation into what I believe are necessary characteristics of the cards that I will put in my digital equipment.  Three things stand out.   I want storage that has high sustained write speeds …

It is no secret that we have been fans of Lexar for several years and, for the most part, their products are always found in our media work.  I love the simplicity, performance and calibre of their products plain and simple.  That’s why we simply had to reach out when Lexar introduced their newest CFExpress USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Card …

We absolutely love industry firsts and the Transcend RDE2 CF Express Type B Card Reader is just that!  For us, it is all about speed and, at least up until this card reader, the ONLY WAY to achieve full data transfer speeds from a CF Express Type B card was through Thunderbolt 3.  The trade-off to that speed is that …

Less than two weeks ago, we posted a report on the ProGrade Digital 1TB 1700 Gold and 325GB 1700 Cobalt CFexpress B Cards, along with their Thunderbolt 3 CFexpress Card Reader. We were so impressed we just had to do it again.  Admittedly, we were floored by the Cobalt 1700 speeds while maintaining anything but what could be considered the …

Some time ago, we posted our review on the newest storage media to hit the consumer as of late, the Lexar Professional 256GB CFexpress Type B Card.  At 1750MB/s read and 1000MB/s write, this storage media is pretty much the fastest there is for its size. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty, and at the time of our review, …

Sustained write disk performance is not advertised with most CFexpress Type B cards today and, in fact, it is not common whatsoever in the flash industry.  As much as it is not spoken of, consumer SSDs, SD cards, compact flash cards, and even the latest CFexpress cards, are marketed and sold according to their ‘peak’ read and write data transfer …

In case you missed it, there has been a storm in the camera industry as of late.  As much as I would like to say it’s the newest Canon EOS R5 camera I have in hand, it’s not.  It is the controversy surrounding this R5 video capabilities and the correlation of internal temperatures and a point where the camera will …

I am somewhat of a camera buff.  I love photography and I carry a Canon 5D Mk IV, that even I will admit is much to far ahead of my skill set.  My wife.  Well, she used to take incredible pleasure in reminding me how many all inclusive vacations this camera cost.  That was until I started shooting family weddings. …

Last week in Zhongshan, China, Lexar invited a very small group of international press for a special preview of just a few of their upcoming releases.  This event was held at the Longsys/Lexar/Foressee Headquarters which also houses the Lexar Memory Museum.  To say that this facility is breathtaking is just a bit of an understatement as it is situated in …

I have been a Lexar fan for too many years to remember so one might imagine that I became just a bit concerned when they were sold off to Longsys, a manufacturer having a great reputation abroad, but without a similar following by media professionals here in North America.  We met with the new owners shortly after the purchase and …
