If you shoot long takes or rapid bursts, CFexpress 4.0 Type A is about to make your post workflow feel a lot lighter. Sony has launched two high-capacity Type A cards in India, the CEA-G1920T at 1920 GB and the CEA-G960T at 960 GB, along with the MRW-G3 card reader. The headline speeds are serious. Up to 1800 MB/s read and up to 1700 MB/s write. That means quicker ingest, shorter waits, and fewer coffee breaks while files crawl across to your editor.

What’s new and why it matters
Sony’s latest Type A cards are built around the CFexpress 4 standard, so you get high throughput without moving to bulkier media. For creators who shoot high-bitrate 4K and beyond, those transfer numbers translate to faster backups on location and smoother timelines back at the desk. The result is simple. More shooting. Less shuffling.
