The promised CFExpress memory cards firmware update for the Nikon D5, D850, and D500 DSLR cameras will be released by the end of 2020



     

Back in February 2019, Nikon announced that the D5, D850, and D500 DSLR cameras will get firmware updates for CFExpress memory card support. We never heard any updates since and my inbox is full of emails from readers asking me when we will get the new firmware… I can finally confirm that Nikon will be releasing the CFExpress firmware updates before the end of the year (here I mean before the end of 2020). There is a very good chance that Nikon may say something about this topic next week when they announce the new Nikon Z6 II and Nikon Z7 II mirrorless cameras. Stay tuned.
