Novachips Launches CFexpress Type A 400GB — More Affordable Than SD Cards!

The Korean company Novachips announced new 4th generation affordable CFexpress Type A cards you can get now on Amazon US&CA, Amazon DE, Amazon UK and other worldwide Amazon stores. The card sells for less than V90 SD cards but with faster sustained 800 MB/s speed.

Novachips sent me a card for testing and I got those results:

The actual speed consistently exceeds 1000 MB/s, and during my 4K video shoots, I never experienced any sudden interruptions or buffering slowdowns when capturing photos.

Novachips Launches CFexpress Type A 400GB — More Affordable Than SD Cards
Seongnam, South Korea — September 1, 2025 — Novachips, a global leader in advanced flash storage solutions, announces the release of its newest CFexpress Type A card: the 400GB model, a performance-driven solution that delivers more than just speed — all at a price point lower than many V60–V90 class SD cards.

With this launch, Novachips is reshaping what’s possible for creators who demand pro-level performance without the premium markup. The 400GB Type A card is officially VPG 400 certified, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for high-bitrate video recording, including extended 4K and 6K ProRes workflows. Like its larger siblings, it maintains identical reliability, data integrity, and thermal stability, making it a dependable choice across the entire Novachips Type A lineup.

Designed with custom-engineered hardware and fine-tuned firmware, the 400GB card delivers consistent sustained write speeds and exceptional thermal control — even during long-format video shoots or continuous burst photography. It also benefits from advanced over-provisioning, a technology typically reserved for high-end enterprise SSDs, which boosts endurance, improves performance stability, and ensures data integrity over time. This makes the card particularly suited for professional cinema and content production workflows where reliability is non-negotiable.

“This card is the game changer,” said SJ Yoo, Product Manager at Novachips. “For the first time, creators can get true CFexpress performance at a lower price than many SD cards — without sacrificing stability or thermal reliability.”

To celebrate the launch, Novachips will run a special promotion in collaboration with the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). The product will be featured in PPA’s September 2025 magazine issue, reaching thousands of working photographers across the United States with exclusive early access offers and educational content.

Availability & Pricing
The Novachips CFexpress Type A 400GB card will be available globally through authorized distributors and resellers starting September 1, 2025. It will launch at a recommended retail price of $140 USD, making it the most cost-effective VPG 400–certified CFexpress Type A card on the market.

Sigma’s New 200mm f/2.0 Wows in Tests – PCMag Calls It “Outstanding”

Preorders:
Sigma 200mm f/2.0 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoKoch, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUK.
Sigma 12mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoKoch, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUK.

PCmag tested the lens and concluded:

The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports is a stunner, both in terms of the images it captures and the speed and accuracy with which it focuses. And while it’s more expensive than pro zooms at $3,299, it leaves nothing to be desired. Photographers who cover indoor sports in venues with so-so illumination will appreciate its aperture, and the lens is just as good a tool for portraiture and other scenes that isolate a subject from its surroundings. It’s a shame that the lens doesn’t support rear teleconverters, but we have no real gripes otherwise, so the 200mm F2 DG OS Sports earns our Editors’ Choice award.

Say farewell to this Zeiss FE lens — it’s now officially discontinued!

Asobinet reports that the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2.0 has been officially marked as discontinued in Japan. The end of an era for one of the first native E-mount primes that carried the Zeiss badge. Farewell to a lens that helped shape the reputation of the FE system in its formative years.
