Sony G (400/400)

as fast as you can afford because you can fire off 200 raw shots in 20 seconds

Not cheap are they.

Nope!

Sony G (400/400)

Sony G series 440/400MB/s. I back up to Sandisk Extreme Pro 300MB/s in Slot 2 but this certainly reduces the buffer compared to XQD only.

Lexar 440MB/S so far these have been flawless.

Lexar - a few places say unavailable or out of stock

Sony G series here I got the 64gb one and have had no issues seems to keep up no problem at all
then I use a sandisk Extreme in 2nd for backup if needed in jpeg.
think I need to get a XQD reader at some point though

 

[Mozziephotography]

If I download from the camera, will it take a LONG time to read from the XQD card?

I get about 60mb per second on the usb cable

mymemory have 10% off code ( SNOW ) on the Sony cards.
Works out £63 for the 32mb M Series inc delivery but I have no idea if that is a good price for one of those mind you

Lexar ceased trading so anything available is 'old stock' and there is a bit of a struggle getting them back up and running apparently.

 

[Mozziephotography]

Thanks everyone - great advice as always.

Another one for the Sony. I use it for sports and wildlife and have never been caught short by hitting the camera buffer.

 

[Mozziephotography]

Just ordered one, it'll be with me tomorrow.

Old thered I know, but in the new year I've deceided I'll treat my D500 to either a 32gb or 64gb XQD Card. Anyone advise the best place to get hold of one of these please (best price), or anyone planning to sell one in the for sale section?

Bought mine from Harrisons in Sheffield. Followed @gcgraphs advice further up the page.
