CFexpress memory type B cards for Canon R5 mark ii

[briansy]

Does anyone know what are the maximum capabilities of the R5ii in terms of writing to memory cards? I don't want to get something that is way above the maximum capabilities of the camera if there is a model of card lower which also exceeds those capabilities. It would just be a total waste of money although I appreciate that the better card would still see an advantage when sending to the computer. But I'm less worried about that than I am the camera buffer. Below are two cards at the same price, one has twice the capacity but it is slower - I wondered if anyone know if it still exceeds the capabilities of the camera? Sorry if I am not wording my question very well!​

When the R5 Mark II launches there were some discussion about the writing speed on the card, which believed to be between 500mb to 800mb.

When you buy a card always check the sustained writing speed, the higher the better. The Lexar 2TB you posted seems to be good. I am using Angelbird 1TB SE.

You also may want to think about v4 CFE Type B card, no camera supports this new version yet but, you can take advantage of the read/write speed when transferring to PC.

YMMV.

Either card far exceeds the R5II write speed capability. The more expensive card is a V4 version, so if you have a compatible card reader and computer that can support it you will get faster download speeds.
