Personally. I use a Sony 128GB XQD in my D850 and I'm very
happy with it… mind you, like Gary says, they may be hard to
come by, I got mine two weeks after I got the camera and I'm
seriously happy I ordered and got two of them.
I use an XQD only in the D850 because the files are bigger and
it is the best way to go to support the buffer. The Sony reader
is Thunderbolt III and the transfer rate is stunningly fast.

I don't do videos!
I don't intend to ever shoot on two cards but it is an
old reflex to backup everything… specially new things.

What sort of video time are you seeing at 4K?

Anyone know what happened there? Seems like these haven't been out long enough to be discontinued unless Lexar licensed the tech from Sony, and deal went bad?

Don Granger wrote: True, but at least that D850 has one SD slot, which means you won't need to rush out and get a XQD card right away.
