I will always credit Angelbird for having been the first to launch affordable Type A cards (at least compared to what we had from Sony and Lexar). And finally we are getting some new cards soon. A source reported:

“It is most likely that these will be announced at the end of May/beginning of June. Stock should be available to order at the time of announcement. I don’t have the exact specifications, but it is an “upgrade” over the previous card.”

My guess is that those cards will have VPG200 (or VPG400?) ratings. Don’t know if they will also support the 4.0 standard like the like the new OWC Type A cards are in Stock at Amazon US! Those are the options:

• 480GB for $319
• 960GB for $519

Peak Design announced the new Coyote straps you can get now at Amazon (hover the product image and click on “Add cart”), Peakdesign and BHphoto.

These are well-known straps with a unique Anchor mount that allows for quick addition/removal of the strap. And it’s not just a new color version: The Coyote leash and strap contain 35 percent recycled nylon. A first step toward a “greener” product range.
The strap is capable of supporting up to 90k, so it is super strong and is designed to distribute the weight around the neck in a way that doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

It’s official that Canon has some sort of announcement coming this week. But while we don’t know for sure what’s coming we can be sure there is no R1 flagship camera that will be coming any time soon. Ordinary Filmmaker reports that Canon has had issued on the prototype version of this camera and therefore the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9 can enjoy NO competition for the foreseeable future. I do believe that by the time the R1 will be on the market Sony will be very close launching their new A1II.

Finally the very first new 4.0 generation CFexpress Type A cards are in Stock at Amazon US! Those are the options:

• 480GB for $319
• 960GB for $519

They are available for preorder but not in Stock at BHphoto, Adorama.

Why buy such cards?

No Sony camera yet has the hardware to support these Generation 4.0 cards. But there are three good reasons why to buy them anyway:

1. Those cards are backwards compatible and will work just fine on any Alpha camera on their max speed possible (900MB/s)
2. When you download the file to your computer it will be running at max speed of 1620MB/s Write via the new 4.0 card readers
3. I suspect that future cameras like the Sony A1II and Sony A7V will support those cards. So if you buy those cards now you are future proof if you switch to a future new Sony camera!
