I just got my new Sony FX3 and I'm looking for recommendations on the best memory cards to use with it. I plan to shoot 4K video at 60fps and want to ensure I have reliable, fast cards that can keep up. Any suggestions from fellow FX3 shooters?

For the Sony FX3, I would recommend using a CFexpress Type A memory card for the best performance. The FX3 has a CFexpress Type A/SD card slot that supports the newer and faster CFexpress standard. Some good options to consider:

These CFexpress Type A cards offer read speeds up to 800MB/s and write speeds up to 700MB/s. This will enable you to record high-quality 4K video at high frame rates with the FX3 without any buffering issues. The 160GB capacity is also ideal for longer recording times.

If you prefer to use SD cards, make sure to get a fast UHS-II card with V60 or V90 video speed rating to keep up with the high bitrates. Some good SD card options:

However, for the absolute best performance especially when recording 4K 120p video, CFexpress Type A is the way to go with the Sony FX3.

For shooting video, I highly recommend a fast CFexpress Type A card. Any brand works OK.

@f114 If you are not shooting very high quality videos and movies, UHS-II V90 sd cards are OK, they are much cheaper than CFExpress Type-A cards.
