[Leica] I'm A Nikon Shooter Again - MARK in HNY

[Mark Rabiner]

Because you're never going to be a long burst shooter if you never had the capability to try it.
and I was this time willing to make a change and make sure my cards were as good as the camera I was saving up for.
And the idea of a camera which can do what I really don’t need it to do appeals to me.

    Going away from rated numbers, the XQD is far superior to the SD UHS II
    cards, both in terms of shooting speed and buffering. In my experience, the
    D500 can go up to 170 shots in RAW 12 bit uncompressed mode with the Sony G
    series XQD cards, and 70 odd shots with the SanDisk SD UHS II cards before
    the buffer fills up. It should really not affect anyone who is not into
    long bursts, and if you are taking single shots or short bursts, why waste
    money on these cards when the SD UHS I cards will be more than sufficient?
