WEX Photographic confirms on their website what I already reported here on NikonRumors: the first Nikon D5 shipments will include free Sony 32GB XQD memory card and reader.

Jessops has a similar note on their D5 listing:

first-Nikon-D5-shipments-will-include-free-Sony-32GB-XQD-memory-card-reader
Note that the Nikon D500 listings at WEX Photographic and Jessops do not mention anything about free XQD cards.

The new Sony XQD M-series memory cards are currently shipping in the US.
