Warning: Cheapest CFexpress Type A VPG 400 from Airusan now in Stock and shipping. But it’s not approved by the CFA association.
Readers told me they got their new Airusan 256GB Type A card from Amazon US and EU (Click here). On “paper” this is the cheapest VPG 400 rated card you can get. But once more I want to remind you that the rating has NOT been approved by the CFA association (Source: PetaPixel). They are violating the trademark rights and I don’t know if Airusan will try to get an approval now or if CFA will try to ban those cards.
By the way, could some of you make an official test to see if this card really delivers on the promised consistent speed?
This is a better ans “safer” deal:
OWC 4.0 generation CFexpress Type A cards are in Stock at Amazon US (on preorder but not in Stock at BHphoto, Adorama) Those are the options:

New competition: Panasonic will announce a sort of Sony ZV-E1 clone made for “content creators”
On May 23 Panasonic will announce a direct competitor of the Sony ZV-E1. Those are the known features of this camera:
- Camera made for “content creators”
- It has newly developed and “unqiue” features for content creators. Something never seen before!
- Uses the same S5II 24MP sensor.
- Very compact, barely taller than the L-mount itself. Smaller than the Fujifilm X100VI (without lens)
- No EVF
- around $200 $300 less than the Lumix S5II
- different color variations
I am curious to learn more about those “unique” features.
