Re: CFexpress card runs HOT...like REALLY REALLY hot that you can't even hold it hot

I'm still waiting on my R5 that I ordered the first day, but my CFE card and reader came in right away. I ran a speed test and noticed the same thing. This was on a Hoodman reader, which is designed with fins to function as heatsink - not sure if that really helps! The speed-test would be running the card flat-out, though - I imagine shooting stills, even in big, fast bursts, it hopefully won't get that hot. 8k video at the highest settings probably will, though.
