I'm hoping to have a D500 soon (more on that later).
Since I do not have an XQD card, I'm looking into the subject.
Clearly the Lexar 2933X is the optimal choice, that is not looking at price.
Not bad is the Sony G series, but still more expensive, where I live.
However I believe this is pushing it, even if I found a good deal on a Sony G 128GB card.
So looking at the other options, I came to a deal on a Lexar 1400X 64 GB.
Looking at the manual of the D500, I would estimate a Lexar 1400X 64 GB, with lossless compressed 14 bit:
- would take up to 50 pictures already in the buffer, without card
- goes up to about 115 pictures with the card
- this means about 11 bursts of full 11 seconds at 10fps
It seems a lot for me, however I do want to go to take pictures of the white tailed eagle fishing at sea later this year.
How many pictures do you really need to cover this kind of event?
