Robin M : Is this just double talk?: "minimum sustained write speeds up to 1,000MB/s". Min doesn't have an 'up to'. Is the same minimum on this card as the dismal 140mb/s on the 128g?

Works well.

Works okay in a Lumix S1. Two-pack comes in a cardboard slipcase which contains two plastic flip-up storage cases.

This is the same as the FTZII mount. I'm waiting on the Z9 so I can use the cards in it.

Excellent card for the price

Very fast cards for the price, granted they do not support 8k but I don?t shoot video 99.8% of what I shoot are still images and it quitters the buffer extremely fast at half the price of the expensive cards

Works as expected in a Canon R5

We've had good luck with ProGrade SD and CFExpressB cards in our Canon R5 and R6 cameras. We haven't observed any noticeable delays in writing to the cards when in the cameras, but we admittedly use them mostly for still shots and create very few videos (and those we create are likely to be < 1 minute in length.) The CFExpressB card gets noticeably warm particularly in an external reader (and we do use a ProGrade reader), but all CFExpressB cards seem to get warm. Since we picked up our last ProGrade CFExpressB card on a significant sale compared to some other well-known cards, we felt this card was a good value.

Good Card Value

These cards have been reliable with no failures to date. They tend to run cool and no noticeable delay in camera boot up. The write speed minimum spec is low but in practice well above minimum keeping up with all but the highest or extended burst speed. Unless a blinding fast burst speed is needed, these cards are a good deal for most tasks for a lot less money.

Very fast card, good enough for CH on Nikon D850/D500 with battery grip with EL-18 batter. Probably will not be fast enough for the Z9

Nice card

I can only speak for still photography, I don't do much video shooting. But it keeps up with my R5 very well including HDR and bracketing. I just wish it was cheaper.
