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

Tue Jan 15 01:01:09 PST 2019

I think you're right the XQD card is there for video more than sequences but I'm not rushing into video right at the beginning. When I do and I'm shooting 4k video I guess the card I use for that will be the Sony XQD and the "stills" with the Sandisk SDXC. They give you a card the speed of my D750 which are much slower I think 96 G/per second.
