Sony announced new SD and XQD memory cards designed to support the new Nikon D5 and D500 cameras: Sony is expanding its lineup of memory card options for professionals to include newer and faster XQD and SD media, as well as card readers for the XQD and SD formats, and an XQD USB adapter, all designed […]
