What I think about the one XQD memory card slot in the new Nikon Z mirrorless cameras



I already said it all on Twitter:

Saw that at the Nikon Z6/Z7 Facebook group:https://t.co/15Ne7rvDTD pic.twitter.com/rU161XMakg

It seems that many are complaining that the new Nikon Z cameras have only one XQD slot. My question is very simple – which other company uses XQD memory cards in their cameras?

Also, let’s not forget that mirrorless cameras started having 2 memory cards slots in 2017… this was last year…

Of course two XQD cards would have been better, but Nikon did not do that to save $2 on the second slot, I am sure they had a valid technical reasons. And until somebody else makes a camera with a double XQD memory card slots, we have no reason to complain.

Obviously mirrorless tech is not that far – You can get 2 XQD with the D5.
