You can update your firmware and use CF express cards

Give some thought to what size cards you need, based on how you think you will set up and use your camera. Raw files will go to whichever card you identify as primary, JPEGs to the other card. Or you can use the second card as backup or overflow. If you go the raw/JPEG route, you'll have room for about 4.4k images with the raw files on a 256 GB card and Fine/Large JPEGs on a 128 GB card. 2.3k images will fit on cards half that size. (Of course, you'll need to decide where to direct any videos you shoot, also.

By the way...if you didn't get a manual with your camera, be sure to go to the NikonUSA website and download one. Here's the link:

Just keep in mind that there is no mention of CF Express cards in the manual. It predates the firmware update that allows them to be used. Otherwise, the manual is useful to have, as is Darrell Young's book that goes into more detail on many features.

You are correct in your comment about the manual. Not sure why I failed to mention it, because it's usually a hot button with me. Thanks for bringing it up.

You don't have to purchase one immediately. You can still use an SD card till you are ready to buy an XQD or CFExpress B card.

I have not seen them on sale. You can upgrade your D500to accept/use CFExpress cards-faster cards. I use Sony Tough cards 128 gig.


If the firmware is 1.30, which it should be if it was purchased new, it will accept CFExpress B cards as well as XQD and SD cards
