Verdict
Best for
- Sony Alpha flagship bodies
- 8K and high-bitrate 4K video
- high-speed continuous burst stills
Who should skip this
- Anyone outside the Sony Alpha system — Type A is essentially Sony-only, so this card is wasted money on other brands
- Stills-only shooters — VPG400 video-grade speed is overkill if you're not recording high-bitrate 4K/8K
