Best Choice for the Canon R5 MKII Memory Cards

[watash1965]

Can someone please help me to decide the best choice for my new R5 MKII memory card and why?  Is it the CFexpress Type B, or the SD/SDHC/XDSC?

Thank you for your advice.

Thanks. I read on.  It looks like packaging with an * or blue dot are updated and are now compatible.  That's great news!

Hi again Rick,

I have attached a photo of the card I purchased from B&H in hopes that SanDisk manufactured it and that it is reliable, as opposed to "fake".

Your thoughts, please.

Thank you,

Greetings,

It's very difficult to tell the validity of storage media from a picture.  Watch the video above.  I would avoid Amazon, eBay or Walmart marketplaces. Most importantly, buy from a reputable dealer like B&H or Adorama.  😉

Thank you for your quick response.

I didn't find any video attached.

@watash1965 edit....scroll down on page 2, I attached a video.

And I would say with about 99% certainty that the card purchased from BH photo is authentic.
