Ok, so I’m on the fence at the moment if I am going to take a huge plunge into the unknown and swap from my D750 for the Sony A7riii or stick with what’s familiar and get the D850. I know both have pros and cons and are quite different, and tbh a lot will depend on how I find the ergonomics and balance with the Sony.
However, I do need to weigh up other options such as long term cost etc. If I go down the D850 route I know I’ll need the grip to get the higher frame rate, and I know that this comes at a considerable cost as you need to buy the battery and charger too. What are the prices of the grip, battery and charger? Are there any third party options available yet?
Also, XQD cards are rather pricey and I was wondering if you can use the SD card as primary and the XQD as backup (as I have jpeg backups so take up less room) and if you did this whether it would affect frame rate and buffer (using Sandisk extreme pro 95mb/s)?
