Angelbird Type A speed test: Faster than Sony cards!

Share

As you know you can finally preorder the 1TB Angelbird Type A card at Amazon US and BHphoto. There is also a Angelbird CFexpress Type A Card Reader and Angelbird Media Tank for CFexpress Type A Memory Cards.

Alex Phan tested the speed of the new Angelbird cards and concluded:

Speed test result.
We have the new top dog in town now. Compare with Sony, angelbird has faster write speed (more critical for buffer clearing) while Sony has faster read speed.

Angelbird: write 707, read 528
Sony: write 697, read 666

Current price line up:

Angelbird 1TB: $499
Sony 160GB: $350
Sony 320GB: $650
Sony 640GB: $1250
Prograde 160GB: $350
Exascend 180GB: $299
Exascend 240GB: $399
Exascend 360GB: $650
Exascend 480GB: $850
Delkin 160GB: $320
Lexar 320GB: $580

Interesting enough, the test above was done using the Sony card readers. If you use the Angelbird card reader the results are clearly on favor of the Angelbird cards:

The difference is explained by the fact that the Angelbird card reader is using gen2x2 usb-c 3.2, while Sony uses gen2.

Matt Granger: Is the 60-600mm Sigma Zoom Right for You?

Share

Matt Granger reviewed the Sigma 60-600mm lens. Check out the video to see if he liked the lens.

And ThePhoBlographer tested the lens and concluded:

The answer to the question, “Should I buy the 60-600mm f4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports?” comes down to one thing: What’s more important to you, versatility or autofocus speed? If versatility is the most important, then this Sigma has plenty of that. It’ll miss some fast action shots, and results won’t be quite as sharp. But, it will hit 60mm and 600mm when a lens swap isn’t possible due to time constraints or a wet or dusty environment.

If a fast autofocus speed and sharpness are more important, then the similarly priced Sony 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS is easily the better choice. It drops far fewer frames, resulting in more sports and wildlife photography keepers. Plus, it’s an internal zoom lens that’s a little lighter.

The answer, however, changes for L-Mount shooters, who have few options regarding the 600mm focal length. Again, Sigma’s 150-600mm is a little sharper, but there’s not much out there regarding a super-telephoto zoom for L-Mount. While I would choose the Sony 200-600mm lens instead on E-Mount, there are not many other options that reach 600mm on L-Mount.
