R5 CFexress & SD Recommended Cards

[ImageAndFilm]

Canon has released a spec list for which classes of cards it recommends. But specific brands of CFexpress cards range vastly in speed. Every where from 800 - 1600 MB/s Anyone see a recommend read/write speed. The Canon 1dxmkii & iii even came with a Sandisk card with preorder, so you at least had an idea. Has anyone seen an official list of approved card speeds?

No, they do not.  Post a screenshot of Canon documentation that specifies specific brands.

Updated and answered my own question. Canon lists the write speeds required on their website. But I wish it was in MB/s not Mbps.

You ignored my question and retconned your original post.  Your credibility has dropped precipitously to one with the trolls.  I say TROLL because memory card manufacturers, as general rule, do not list write speeds, just read speeds.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine? Haha Nice to meet you to. 

My original post didn't accurately represent my question. So I clarified. I updated the post and notified you I updated it. I was very transparent. And for the record card manufacturers litterally put read/write speeds directly on the physical card itself. It's a standard practice now.

Thanks for posting this John. After the gentleman above was rude and called me a troll, I second guessed myself. Looks like he was the troll to begin with. I don't understand why people have to be so mean.

This is what I was looking for but in the R5 version. I don't want to buy the wrong card. Especially when they are so expensive

You are a troll.  Look at your other post accusing Canon of lying in their media releases.  Who does that?  Trolls!

That is not what was originally asked.  The original post has been changed to be specific to CFExpress cards.

BTW, have you seen the other post accusing Canon of "false" advertising?

No, they do not.  This is from the 1Dx Mark II manual. No brands are listed or recommended.  It does not use CFExpress.
