Angelbird announced new CFexpress memory cards


A few days ago Angelbird announced their first CFexpress memory cards that offer read speeds of up to 1700MB/sec and write speeds of up to 1400MB/sec:

“The AV PRO CFX is best suited for production work that requires a minimum guaranteed write speed of 550 MB/s, a recording speed still well above the current XQD-400 standard of 400 MB/sec, with capacities of up to 1 TB. Creative professionals working at the leading edge of digital production will find that the CFexpress memory card is the ideal media for content production that demands 4k and 6K+ resolution.

The AV PRO CFX XT is the best rock-solid option for optimal sustained write performance. With its 1 GB/s sustained write speeds the 4-6-8K resolutions will be able to be captured uncompressed RAW. The AV PRO CFX XT is ideal for high-capacity frame rate capture needs with data capacities up to 640 GB.”

Angelbird memory cards are sold at Adorama, B&H and Amazon.

Here is an updated list of companies that will produce CFexpress memory cards:

Five additional Nikon D6 teaser videos expected


On the Nikon D6 official page there are placeholders for five additional teaser videos. Hopefully, they will reveal some of the D6 new features, because the first video was about the D5. The biggest mystery so far is the larger Nikon D6 pentaprism (Wi-Fi? GPS? Flash? Hybrid viewfinder? EVF? Nothing?):


If you have any Nikon D6 information, you can contact me anonymously here.

With the exception of three Coolpix point and shoot camera, Nikon has not announced a “real” camera in the past 12 months (the D6 was not a real announcement, we all knew that camera is coming, we have no specs or release date). The last officially announced Nikon cameras were the D3500 on August 30th, 2018 and the Z6/Z7 on August 23rd 2018.

In the past 12 months Canon announced 3 mirrorless and 2 DSLR cameras plus a bunch of serious compacts. For the same time, Sony has announced 4 mirrorless cameras (one full-frame and three APS-C).
