With the announcement of the Nikon Z6 and Z7, the justified question arose why Nikon relies solely on the XQD memory card standard for the new models all over the world. Until recently, only Sony produced these cards after Lexar left the memory card business. Remarkably, Sony itself only uses this format in some, mostly professional camcorders. In the in-house cameras, on the other hand, it cannot be found in the first place. ![]() Nikon XQD-Karte Thus, Nikon XQD cards with a read/write performance of more than 400 MB/s in the highest XQD speed class will also be available in the future. This would theoretically even create an internal RAW recording option for video clips. Technically, this is much less demanding than recording with complex codecs such as H.264 or HEVC. Magic Lantern has impressively demonstrated for some time that even ten-year-old Canon EOS cameras can do this without any problems. The only limit here is currently the speed of the memory card or the usable slot. However, we think it is very unlikely that Nikon will want to stop this RAW video door for filmmakers. Rather, it simply makes sense to earn a significant surcharge compared to SD cards, since you yourself have by far the most devices on the market that use the almost proprietary standard. Exact prices are not yet known, but they will be available next month... deutsche Version dieser Seite: Nikon bringt eigene XQD-Karten Serie - 64 und 120 GB mit 400 MB/s |
