[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 680570, member: 43545"] The removing and reinserting the SD is one of the main points of failure.The socket and carrier are both very thin lightweight plastic so the second more often failure is the 2 piece SD shell falling apart. The post above about not having the card in slot 1 was saved by slot 2. But the camera will not shoot without card so that would not have been a lot of images, it reminds you right on the screen that you forgot a card. In the Z7 one never has to remove a card, its high-speed USB -c interface allows fast transfers to a storage device, faster than current card transfers Regarding the D7500 not having a secure card...it is a different class of camera, it is not targeting advanced hobbyist or pros. Commercial photography is not the customer base for that camera when the best pro crop camera available is only a few hundred dollars more; D500. ALL Nikon pro camera have XQD for a few reasons so it is an additional indication of how Nikon targets the Z series. The D5 and Z7/6 are both made in Japan at the Sendai plant which is oriented towards their highest end cameras.
