SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro Cards - personal experience with Nikon D5, Nikon Z9Pros:- Works great for Nikon D5 with the CFEb compatibility firmware upgrade installed.- The cost per GB was reason I purchased, better price than I have ever seen (thanks B&H).- This is one of the brands that is approved by Nikon for CFEb cards.Cons:- Not recommended for raw file performance with Nikon Z9 if using Uncompressed Raw. Will start buffering at about frame 65.- Hot Card. CFEb cards get really hot compared to XQD or CF. You can't leave them in idle in the reader. They can get almost scalding hot. That said - beware any CFEb card will do this, not a knock on SanDisk. Some get so hot you can't touch them for a minute or two after file xfers.Bottom like, I am likely ... MoreSanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro Cards - personal experience with Nikon D5, Nikon Z9Pros:- Works great for Nikon D5 with the CFEb compatibility firmware upgrade installed.- The cost per GB was reason I purchased, better price than I have ever seen (thanks B&H).- This is one of the brands that is approved by Nikon for CFEb cards.Cons:- Not recommended for raw file performance with Nikon Z9 if using Uncompressed Raw.

Nikon Z6II. I DO NOT shoot a lot of high frame rate bursts. But this is the first time with owning more than 45 SanDisk cards over the last 5-6 years that I have had a card overheat.In the z6II working in 80 degree weather shooting stills conservatively, I got a hot card shutdown. I have never had that happen.Many many many SanDisk SD's in my other cameras, subject to high volume full time shooting. Never a single glitch. But sadly, getting these for the Z camera, these get hot and have shut the camera down. And coming out of the reader, my laser thermometer shows these at 130+ degrees!

I will no longer use this card in my Z6ii when recording video. The card runs very hot and I get a "Hot Card" warning on my Z6ii when recording video. I am not recording lengthy videos only short clips over a period of 30 minutes. I record appoximately 10 minutes of 30 minutes and receive the warning. I am concerned about the card causing issues with Z6ii so I will look for other brands.I have contacted technical support but received a return reply that suggested I contact a different tech support link which turns out to be the same link I used to originally submit the request. It appears that Western Digital cannot transfer support request. I am going to copy and past what I received from Western digital below.Notice that it is from Western Digital Support ... MoreI will no longer use this card in my Z6ii when recording video.

I use this in conjunction with a GH6 for Pro res codecs. While I haven't used it in the top shelf data hungry modes on my GH6, I have shot UHD Pro Res HQ. It worked great. I plan on buying higher capacities as the price drops or as needed. As a early P2 card user these are no where near the blood letting prices that P2 were back in the day( $1,300.00 for 8GB) , but they are steep. After the past few years of SD variant media, the price takes a little getting used to. Of course it has, and will continue to drop. Ultimately, I'm not too concerned as I much prefer using a robust media compared to the flimsy and cheesy SD cards for pro work. Geez, a bad trend gone wild. Rant over. No complaints, and I have have historically had much better experience with SanDisk media ... MoreI use this in conjunction with a GH6 for Pro res codecs.

Like many I suppose, I went kicking and screaming into the CFexpress camp. In my case, my Nikon Z6 was my first camera that required XQD or CFexpress cards. I had used SD cards for so long that another size card with the big price tags irritated me. Fast forward a few years and I have quite an investment in CFexpress. Fact of life now with high density sensors and video footage. SanDisk prices are falling and they've always been my go-to brand. These cards are fast and reliable and quite an improvement over XQD cards. I have 3 Z bodies that I use them in and all 3 never fail to function or miss a capture. So with the prices of these 128GB cards falling, I guess I'll reluctantly say they are superb cards worthy of your money. And of course B&H always delivers quickly ... MoreLike many I suppose, I went kicking and screaming into the CFexpress camp.

I got the card for use in my Canon R3, speed was very slow when copying files over to the PC. Few times the card would stop transferring and paused, then continued. Twice it said there was a fatal error. I've used Lexar and Sandisk in the last, first time experiencing issues. I've read others having issues and even some YouTube videos mention it. Disappointed that someone in hardware engineering did a poor job on this card design. No excuse for cards at this price and not only that our photos have a lot more value, totally disappointed.... It's not worth me returning it since I'm in Canada but I wouldn't recommend this. Doing wedding photos this card makes me think twice.
So far, so good. I recently opted to try something different than SanDisk for my newly purchased Canon C500 MK II. What a mistake that was! I purchased 4x 512GB Type B Angelbird CFexpress cards, and two of the cards were corrupt. I had use one on a shoot for a client and at the end of the day they couldn't get the footage to offload. I took the card home and sent it out to Angelbird HQ in Austria. It took about two weeks to get the footage back, but there were still some digital oddities linked to the footage. With a good editor however, I think one can easily cut around these issues.That said, I didn't want to go through that hassle again, so I went with the tried and true, SanDisk Extreme Pro cards. I bought four of them and tested them out without any issue. I ... MoreSo far, so good. I recently opted to try something different than SanDisk for my newly purchased Canon C500 MK II.

I bought this card to use with my Nikon Z7ii.Works like a charm, is fast.And being a Sandisk then I expect it to be reliable and last a long time.The only thing I can say Im not overly too thrilled about, is it gets hot that card. I havent noticed in camera since I am not using this card and camera in any action scenarios, but when I put it in the memory card reader and maybe forget it for 3-5 minutes, it heats up.Once I forgot it in the card reader for maybe 10 minutes and it was crazy hot.So lesson learned, dont leave it in the card reader (the card was and is ok) ;)As a small comparison, I was thinking about getting this card for my Z9, but decided on Prograde Cobalt 165 GB, and those cards do not heat at all!
Along with my Canon EOS R5, I purchased two 128 GB CF Express cards. This one, from SanDisk, and one of the Promaster brand. From what I have heard, Promaster is simply a SanDisk in a different wrapper. They have the same performance specs and price, so it makes sense to me.These were my first experience with this CF Express media. Ridiculously fast at both writing and reading. I've had no problems with high speed RAW stills or 4K 120 FPS video.The reasons I have held back a star:-This doesn't seem to be a thoroughly vetted technology yet. I keep reading that many think that certain cards (SanDisk among them) are the cause for some of the freezing problems that have been plaguing R5 users. I really don't think this is true. I think there is a problem with ... MoreAlong with my Canon EOS R5, I purchased two 128 GB CF Express cards. This one, from SanDisk, and one of the Promaster brand.

I think there is a problem with Canon parts and/or QC with the cameras, but, you never know.-These really don't seem like the indestructible, never doubtful CF cards that I've used for more than 12 years without rarely a problem. These feel like a cheaply made plastic computer part. I've known CF cards to go through the laundry cycle and work fine for years afterwards. I don't see that happening here. I have now purchased a 256 Delkin Black card because they were built more to last with a great warranty and customer service.If I am going to pay this ridiculous price, I think Delkin seems like a better choice. I have been a SanDisk customer for as long as I have shot digitally. I haven't had any problems with this card, but, I may not be as brand loyal with this newer technology.
