Nikon unveils own XQD card series - 64 and 120 GB with 400 MB/s

[08:27 Mon,27.August 2018   by Rudi Schmidts]    

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.

XQD card slots in cameras can only be found in Nikon Professional models - including the D5, D500 and D850 - and now the mirrorless Z6 and Z7 models will also have corresponding slots. Lexar has also returned to XQD production under a new flag, but now Nikon obviously wants to get a piece of this cake himself.

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...
