With the release of firmware version 4.00 I decided to retest them and now they are now managing 132.50MB/s shooting uncompressed RAW, so Sony has definitely tweaked something.
I did report this to Sony but didn’t receive any feedback. Important note: When I tested these cards with firmware version 3.10 they were only managing 107.27MB/s when shooting uncompressed RAW, but JPEG speeds were as they should be. Here are my in-camera speed test results using a 64GB card: Image TypeĬompressed RAW (25MB) + JPEG Extra Fine (18.3MB) Shooting uncompressed RAW these cards actually have an in-camera write speed of around 132.50MB/s. Note: Sometimes these cards can be a little tight in the memory card slot compared to standard SD cards. The Sony SF-G Tough cards are rated V90 for video and have a claimed read speed of 300MB/s and a write speed of 299MB/s. The cards feature a one-piece ribless structure and don’t have the common lock switch, they are also X-ray proof, magnet proof, anti-static and temperature proof. Tough memory cards are 18 times stronger than standard SD cards, bend proof to 180N, drop-proof to 5 meters, waterproof to a depth of 5 meters for up to 72 hours (IPX8 rating) and dustproof with an IP6X rating.
