YEAH, I know this is a MINOR annoyance and the equivalent of complaining about the "cold peas", but I expect better from Lexar.
Got the D500. Bought one of the 128GB LEXAR 2933X XQD cards. AND the special, super-duper, just for the XQD card, LEXAR card reader.
Camera is good. Card is good. Yes, you CAN hold down the button and dump 100 or 150 shots in the buffer and have them cleared to the car VERY quickly...
Unfortunately, then it becomes time to move the images from the card to the computer......... I've done this on the desktop, through a USB3 connection onto an SSD, and I've done this on the Alienware laptop, through a USB3 connection onto an SSD. In BOTH cases the card reader never gets past 40MB, and often is slower than that. My $6, el cheapo USB3 card reader that's used with my "normal" Lexar CF cards on the D810 runs anywhere from THREE TO FOUR TIMES this fast. Easily get 120 MB and often get over 160 MB with that.
Does anyone else see such slow read times for this card reader? Is it just dog slow? Or what?
Anyhow, I'm gonna shoot 'em an email and see what Lexar says.
