But even in those examples above, the XQD cards are still more expensive. And as pointed out; there's no 'slower' cheaper alternative. No choice. Like Stephen L, I don't rattle off loads of fups, so I don't need such fast speeds. I'm not reliant on getting one good shot from a 'spray and pray' 10fups burst. Praps it's cos I learned how to do photography properly.
The SD cards in my D600 are 30Mbps. Thirty. Not three hundred; thirty. That's fine. 16Gb as well; this has been limiting once or twice I admit. I could have done with a bit more storage. But then, I don't tend to shoot thousands of pics at a time, even on holiday for a couple of weeks. Meh. I bought them some years ago when they were a bit more expensive than they are now, but even then, they weren't extortionate, like £20-25 each or summat. XQD cards are a rip off because nobody else makes them and Sony can take the pee with prices.
Some of us don't need a Ferrari; a Nissan Micra is adequate.
My Z6 came with a 64GB XQD card. Which wasn't mentioned in any info I read on the retailer's website. So I'd ordered a 120GB card anyway. I was almost annoyed when I opened the box and saw the card included ( I suspect it was a mislabeling at the lower price, as the boxes are almost identical; I had that once with an Apple Mac.. ). Still, at least I have a spare...
