Memory cards??

Congratulations on your new D500.

Thanks Dawg Pics, its like Christmas again.

Lexar and Sony XQD cards are only $5 apart the last time I checked, and I can't tell any difference between the two. But $5 is $5, so you might as well go with the Lexar.

I haven't tried any UHS-II SD cards on my D500 yet, so I can't give any valid help to you there. I will say that even with a Sandisk 95mb/s card I can shoot a couple of dozen continuous shots with no slow down due to buffering.

Sony G series XQD cards are what I'm using right now.

can u get a card reader that will read both xqd and sd?

I haven't found one yet that reads both. I still have my Lexar CF/SD card reader, and then dedicated XQD readers. I got the Sony XQD reader, as well as a Lexar.

The Lexar - https://www.adorama.com/ilxlrwxqdrbn.html

The Sony - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01B...SB+Adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41s5Sy-sHcL&ref=plSrch

But I did find this Sony XQD/SD combo reader that I hadn't seen before - https://www.adorama.com/isoxqdrd.html

Thank you Rocketcowboy. :encouragement:

I've had a ton of cards over the years - i tend to buy Scandisk - but have tried Sony and Kingston among others. The only card that has given me trouble has been the lexar - and that is because the little lock slider thing has come appart on a couple. i was able to recover the data so no great loss but a real bother. I no longer will by Lexar. I just tend to buy the fastest card by a primary maker (never buy generics or ultra cheapies).
