[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 545944, member: 9240"] Thanks, Woody. That sort of confirms all my thinking. Part of me wonders if any camera can truly justify being $1000 more than another, but then I wonder what price I put on the frustration of not having something I could have had when I decide to go cheap. I've got the D500 on order and I'm going to let it stand and keep my fingers crossed for no early adopter issues. I suspect that a good number of pros have been using pre-release versions of it and putting it through its paces so I hope they're kept to a minimum. The fact that Adobe raw support is already available tells me that they've been out and about for a while. I talked to my brother, a Canon consultant, about the XQD card and he's skeptical like you. That said, I recall reading somewhere that cameras could be retrofitted with a CF card (maybe that was the D5). If the tech doesn't fly they're going to have to do something. My question is the reliability. I don't mind buying backups of SD cards, but at the price of these things, failure sucks!! Even if the manufacturer warranties them (Lexar replaced my SD card that split no questions asked) you can be a week or more waiting on a replacement. [/QUOTE]
