[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 363756, member: 12496"] The D810 has both CF and SD slots. Yes, use whichever you prefer, or both. CF is the good stuff, a little faster than SD, which is why. Don't cheap out at this point. :) Cheaping out is NOT the FX way. :) Writing one Raw file now and then is not a big deal, time-wise. Writing a continuous burst of ten files is a much bigger deal. I use Lexar 1000x CF on a D800. It can write five 40MB NEF (200 MB) in about three seconds. It will do more than five, I just never bothered. I think the D810 is supposed to be a little faster. 1000x is 1000 x 150 KB = 150 MB/second, however, the advertised speeds (1000x or 90MB/second, etc) are Read speeds, possibly achieved by your card reader and computer (which is rather important when downloading a few hundred files). For sure, you want a USB 3.0 card reader. Write speed is NOT that fast. But my D800 and 1000x doing 200MB in 3 seconds is about 67 MB/second write. [/QUOTE]
