Indeed, just buy more cards.

If you insist, make an experiment. Start with an empty card. Take a few photos with 1 camera then put the card in the other and take a few photos.

Seems simple enough.

I once put a card from my D7100 into my Z50.
It worked fine, but when I imported into PSE, it identified the card as D7100.
The pictures were fine, but now I reformat so that the ID conforms to the camera.

Why don't you just run the experiment for yourself instead of relying on the less than reliable information you will get on here?

TRADITION !!! UHH Sacred Tradition. UHHST requires asking the clown car how to execute a patently stupid plan. In the real world each camera uses its own card(s) and this idiotic conundrum never arises.

If its a $$ problem, sell off one camera. If you cant afford two cards then you cant afford two cameras. Sell one and buy some groceries.

You have the 2 cameras you can try it out and see what happens. I think the 2 cameras will put the images in different folders. Also I think it would still work if you didn't initially format the card.
But I wouldn't do that.


Many thanks,

I appreciate the time you took to answer my question..Larry

What is missing is in the question. What are the best practices? I am starting to sound like Paul of Chicago. First, start with a newly formatted chip in that camera by that camera. Second, until the data is captured directly from the chip and is uploaded in two places, do not format the chip. I am about to go on a two-week shoot with two cameras that are capable of exchanging cards. I will not format the chips even though backed up to the portable and external drive (2) until I run out of capacity on multiple chips. When I return home, I will upload from the saved chips unless I must depend on the portable for the solution. My Nikons chips show the name of the camera from which it came. This tells you right away, albeit small, there is a difference. You spend thousands on equipment and travel, not having enough chips makes no sense. FAQ - can you take a chip used in one camera and format it\use it in the other camera? Yes...no problem.

With due respect to you and of course to Paul, it would seem you are answering questions that were never asked nor were the answers needed. The OP simply asked if a card could be transferred from one camera to another without formatting in between. I have not done it but suspect it will work just fine with each camera name/information being recorded on the file when downloaded to a computer.

The information you provided to please Paul wasn't asked for nor was it needed in my opinion.

Anytime someone say “with due respect” they mean the opposite.

A card should be formatted in the device your going to use. I bought a 128 card for under $25.
Buy a card

Maybe in your life that happens but not in mine. When I say, with all due respect, I am pointing out I don't wish to start a problem but this is my opinion. If you can come up with a better and more polite manner then I welcome it.

Often enough it is sincere in cases where, verrrrry clearly, NO respect is really due !

Just drop the fake “with due respect”.

Buy a card

Key operator: should be. Maybe as opposed to must be.
Most likely a manufacturer CYA instruction.
I found that for my camera, cards right out of the blister pack work just fine.
The camera puts on the card what it wants, ie. directories.
I never had a problem in 12+years.
