I used to be pretty negative about the micro cards. Not sure that there is any real disadvantage, but usually no advantage either. My Microsoft Surface will allow me to plug in a MicroSD card, but there's already a card there compensating for limited system memory. I do think it introduces one more possible point of failure, although I recently dug out my old Nikon P3 to play with, and a micro card with adaptor has been in it just fine for many years.
On the contrary, a micro in an adapter has one LESS possible point of failure. You can remove the micro from the adapter without abusing the card latch buried in the camera’s card slot.
Acoarst common sense says that one should never extract the micro while standing over a storm drain ....
If you’re not shooting raw files at 30fps the potential speed advantage of a full sized card is just a geekish fantasy.
