CFEXPRESS WILL START TO REPLACE SD FOR STORAGE

While the Sony A9 II is the most highly specced pro camera on the market today, it may have missed a trick by sticking with SD cards. Canon already uses the format in the EOS C500 Mk II, and the 1D X Mk III and Nikon D6 have both committed to the next-gen cards. Since CFexpress uses the same form factor as XQD, a firmware update will make the format compatible with a number of existing Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Phase One cameras and camcorders.

And as more cameras start reading and writing higher quality video and image files, it seems likely that the tide will turn increasingly towards CFexpress.
