But when the technology is available to give you 2 slots and you have used 2 slots for redundancy, to take it away and say the qxd card isn't going to fail just smacks of obfuscation.  There must be a reason they did not provide two slots. Could it have to do with the slow buffer rate? The videos out now show the buffer slowing and filling at 14 exposures. If data was filling 2 cards simultaneously would there be a buffer drag worse than that in the DSLR? The qxd card is so much faster, it seems strange that there would not be a way to feed both from each exposure. I've been watching the nikon sponsored videos that show pros saying that the one slot is not an issue and they ingest. Just moving the card data to an hd is not the same concept. A card failure is a logical thing to plan against. card slots also fail. Having two slots could mean the ability to keep using the camera when one slot connection fails. Mocking photographers who are extra careful and use redundancy seems strange to me. Luckily, everyone is free to express their own opinion. I read the rumors about a dual sd slot and a dual qxd and cFxpress, and conversion to a CFexpress from the current slot. If nikon will convert the slot to slots as an option, I would be more inclined to purchase. There are many situations that don't allow for tethering or shooting to wifi backup and 2 cards is a simple effective way to safeguard your work. Why not offer it? What does it really cost Nikon to offer two slots? IN the last two days I have seen hundreds of comments criticising the decision to remove the second slot. Evidently other people appreciate the security it offers just as I do.</p></blockquote><p></p>
