Good enough

I recently purchased a Canon R5. You need a CF card to get the most out of the R5 - CF cards are necessary if you want to take 8K video . CF cards are expensive. You can save some money by making your own CF. Card. The build quality could be better though.

Cheaper CFexpress B for Z9

By Srinath

Perfect for building CFexpress B cards on the cheap! Get some reliable 2230 NVMe ssd like Samsung or Micron off fleabay (256GB for 20 bucks), put some thermal paste and you have a great card at unbeatable price. Using a Samsung P991a (not the 991) 2230 NVMe, I can get a ~2.5s 20fps lossless raw (~54frames on average) burst on the Z9 for photos. The prograde cobalt 165gb gives me around 80 frames for the same (guess the internal buffer limits this?). For HE raw or HE*, it is pretty much unlimited for all I care. Plan to upgrade to the Micron 2450 based ssd, which should pretty much give another performance boost. Haven't shot video thoroughly, but seems to have no issues with Prores 12bit for 30s (didn't check longer). I wouldn't recommend this for mission critical work, but given cheap options for tge casual shooter.
