Good point, ron. But my 46MP D850 eats 1 gig cards for breakfast.


Yeah I don’t think 1 or 2 gb would be a good idea. That’s all the D50 will take unless I go to mb. Even have a few of those from years past. Still work too.

CF Express will be replacing the XQD. Currently they are a little more expensive than the XQD. With free software updates for your camera, they work in the XQD slots perfectly. They are also a little faster, great buffering for large bursts.


Thanks, next purchase, i will get the CF cards and a reader.

You could always set the 850 for a smaller RAW file and only use the full 46 mpx. when taking shots that might need to be severely cropped.

Don't use that abbreviation "CF" for CFexpress cards because there's such a thing as a CF card, they're still common, and they're different from what we've just been discussing. It would cause confusion, and we already have plenty.

Good point, of course I was referring to the CFexpress type B cards. Thanks for making it clear.
