Just got the Sony FX30, which are best memory cards for this camera ? Which size and which brand ?
Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually went through a bit of a trial and error phase when I first picked up my FX30. Tbh I was pretty stressed about the storage costs at first because these modern codecs are huge.
The FX30 has dual card slots - one for CFexpress Type A/SD and one for SD only. For the best performance (especially with 4K 120fps or 4K 60fps 10-bit), I'd recommend Sony's CFexpress Type A cards. They're expensive but bulletproof - I've never had a corrupted file. If budget is a concern, high-quality V90 SD cards will handle most shooting scenarios. I use a mix depending on the project requirements.
Same boat, watching this
CFexpress Type A card: Lexar CFexpress Type A Gold Series.
UHS- II V90 card: SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-II V90.

Are you planning to shoot a lot of slow-motion? If so, the absolute fastest cards are essential to avoid dropped frames. I'd highly recommend the Angelbird AV Pro CFexpress Type A cards. They're specifically designed for high-bitrate video and offer exceptional performance, even with demanding codecs and frame rates. The Delkin Devices POWER CFexpress Type A cards are another great option in this category.
