[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 627422, member: 24285"] I will be getting a second XQD card as a back-up, best price I've found is a 32GB Sony for $89 (CDN). That card is a tad faster than my current card (440 vs 400). At that price I'm going to put one away for future use. And hope Nikon finds a way to continue ensure XQD's are available. IF I'd known this when I bought my D500 a month ago it would have made me think hard. I really am enjoying the D500 and apart from this threat to the future availability of XQD cards I have not regrets. Puts me in mind of Sony's Betamax. Remember those? Let's hope Scandisk or some other card producers adds XQD to their line up. And failing that I like Mike W's idea of an XQD adaptor that holds an SD card - I think Nikon should make one and give D5 and D500 users one for free. Someone start a petition to demand that OK?
