Description

The Sony MRW-G2 CFexpress Type A / SD Card Reader is a compact, high speed media reader designed for creators who rely on Sony CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II cards. With a single recessed slot, USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and included USB-C and USB-A cables, it delivers fast, reliable transfers from card to laptop or workstation without external power.

Engineered as part of the Sony Alpha and Cinema line ecosystem, the MRW-G2 helps photographers, videographers and content teams move large RAW image sequences and high bitrate video files quickly. Its 95 g, pocket friendly body is easy to pack in any kit, while the access LED and robust build support dependable field use on busy shoots.

Workflow Problems This Reader Solves

High resolution hybrid creators often lose time waiting for cards to offload, juggling multiple readers or adapters and dealing with unreliable connections in the field. The Sony MRW-G2 is built to streamline that workflow so you can spend more time shooting and editing, not watching progress bars.

Slow transfers of large CFexpress and SD media from long events or shoots.
Carrying separate readers for CFexpress and SD cards in already crowded bags.

Fast Media Offload Solution for Sony Creators

The MRW-G2 pairs Sony CFexpress Type A performance with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 host interface to keep ingest times in line with modern 4K and high frame rate workflows. By combining CFexpress Type A and SD support in a single recessed slot, it reduces the number of accessories you need while still handling the most common cards used in Sony Alpha and Cinema cameras. The bus powered design lets you back up footage anywhere you can open a laptop, without depending on wall power or bulky hubs.
