Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB Dubai | TOUGH Memory Card [بطاقة ذاكرة]

The Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB Dubai (CEA-G80T) retails at AED 799 at CamCity and represents the entry point into Sony’s TOUGH CFexpress ecosystem — the card format required to unlock the highest-bitrate recording modes on cameras including the a7S III, a7R V, a7 IV, Sony a1, A9 III, FX3, FX30, and FX6. If you have been shooting on UHS-II SD cards and wondering why your camera blocks certain recording modes, this is the answer. CamCity stocks the Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB with 2 units available today at our Al Khaleej Centre showroom, alongside the MRW-G3 reader so you can complete your full workflow setup in one visit.

Why Dubai Videographers Need a CFexpress Type A Card

The Recording Modes That Require CFexpress Type A

Every Sony Alpha and FX camera with hybrid CFexpress/SD slots accepts both card types — but not for every recording mode. The XAVC S-I All-Intra codec at 4K 120p in S&Q mode demands a minimum sustained write speed that only CFexpress Type A cards deliver. If your card cannot meet it, the camera simply blocks the mode. The Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB Dubai is rated at VPG 400 — a guaranteed minimum 400 MB/s sustained write speed — ensuring the a7S III records without a single dropped frame at the highest available bitrate.

How Long Will 80GB Last at Professional Bitrates?

At XAVC S-I 4K 60p (500 Mbps), 80GB provides approximately 21 minutes of continuous recording. At 4K 120p S&Q (250 Mbps), the same 80GB gives you approximately 43 minutes. For wedding videographers and corporate shoot teams in Dubai where a second card can be swapped quickly, 80GB is a practical working capacity at the most demanding settings. If your sessions are longer, CamCity also stocks the 240GB (AED 975) for extended uninterrupted runs.

TOUGH Build Rated for Dubai’s Conditions

Important: The Sony TOUGH standard on the CEA-G80T means the card is rated IP57 for dust and water resistance, tested to 150 N of bend force, and drop-rated to 7.5 metres — a critical advantage when shooting in Dubai’s desert environments, sandy outdoor venues, or humid coastal locations. Standard CFexpress cards carry none of this protection. If you are using a non-TOUGH card in outdoor conditions across the UAE, you are accepting a risk that this card eliminates.

Compatible Sony Cameras in the UAE

The Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB Dubai works in the hybrid CFexpress/SD slots of the following Sony cameras:

Sony a7S III · Sony a7R V · Sony a7 IV · Sony a1 · Sony A9 III · Sony FX3 · Sony FX30 · Sony FX6

All eight cameras feature dual hybrid slots that accept either UHS-II SD or CFexpress Type A in each slot. Both slots are full CFexpress Type A compatible — no slot restrictions. If you own any of these cameras and want to access the full recording capability you paid for, the Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB is the correct card.

Why Buy From CamCity

CamCity is an authorised Sony dealer in Dubai, stocking the Sony CFexpress Type A 80GB with a genuine UAE distributor warranty [ضمان الموزع] and a 1-to-1 exchange policy on manufacturing defects. You can handle this card in person at our showroom on Al Rolla Road, Al Khaleej Centre, Bur Dubai — Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM — and pair it with the Sony MRW-G3 reader from our in-stock inventory before you leave. Grey market memory cards sourced from unauthorised importers carry no Sony UAE service coverage. A card failure on a paid shoot with no recourse is a risk that the AED 799 genuine price eliminates entirely.
