Best C-Fast 2.0 cards available

The best c-fast 2.0 cards on the market in my opinion. They have never had any writing issues like I have experienced with other manufacturers and the price point is pretty fair to the market.

Best Value Approved Media for RED Komodo

Fantastic cards at a great price. Adorama was especially great with their price reduction policies that when I bought an additional one and found the price had dropped in such a short time-- I contacted customer service and they immediately issued a refund for the balance. (even on a flash sale) Of the several cards I bought for the RED Komodo--only one turned out to be defective, but the replacement process with the manufacturer was very easy and quick. Definitely will buy more if I need extra media cards. (already have three cards)

My favorite camera card.

Works great in my 1dx2 very fast. I thought I wouldn't be able to tell much difference in the cf vs this. Boy was I wrong this is so much faster. If you own a camera that uses this card you should own one. I am un sure of video but its great for shooting raw at a fast rate. I have yet to have it buffer or stop. It just works.

SanDisk has been our go-to CFast cards for over a year now. Because of the issues with Lexar in both the 128GB and 256GB in our Canon C300 Mark IIs and Arri Alexa Mini, we've moved away from them. The SanDisk cards have been dependable in every instance, which is of course, paramount in video production.

Good, but needed a reader

While I have issue with the card, I found that my computer (running Windows 10) would not read when connected to my EOS 1DX Mark ii. Simple fix was an external card reader for $. That bought, all worked well and super quick downloads. The card is amazing and keep up with the camera on burst mode with no obvious slowing in capture rate.

Excellent and dependable

While the cost of CFast cards is ridiculously high, Adorama's prices are the lowest I can find and I have never had a problem with SanDisk Extreme Pro cards.

Dependable for a decent price

This card is one of my favorite Cfast cards. It keeps up really well with my 1DX and C300 Mk II. The only down side is the price per capacity. From 100-300 the price is drastically different.

Like the higher frames per second

Used the card to shoot baseball games on a canon1DX Mark 2. I like the increased number of frames per second vs the older cards. If fps is important to you, the card price is reasonable.
