Originally introduced as “the next generation customizable cinema camera” for all types of filmmakers and video professionals, the original PYXIS 6K model quickly established itself as a top option for on-the-go pro videographers seeking high-end digital film capabilities, precise skin tones, and rich, organic colors.

The Blackmagic PYXIS 12K only kicked things up a notch (read our original PYXIS 12K announcement here) with a full-frame 36 x 24mm 12K sensor with a wide dynamic range and a built-in optical low-pass filter that's been designed to perfectly match the sensor.

However, despite the fanfare when introduced, there have still been many questions to be answered about the 12K model in particular. To help those looking to invest and gear up with the PYXIS 12K for the first time, Blackmagic Design has released its official list of recommended CFexpress cards to use with the camera.

Let’s check out the full list below.

Best CFexpress Cards for the Blackmagic PYXIS 12K

Shared on Blackmagic Design’s support page, these CFexpress cards are recommended for shooters looking to utilize the highest levels of video recording offered by the PYXIS 12K—which, keep in mind, allows for users to record in standard video resolutions and frame rates from HD to 12K as well as capture in 12K, 8K, or 4K at the full sensor size.
