I was going through the update for D850 and had the exact same complaint. Went to my store and they did it for free. Will do some sport test this weekend i hope, but I didn't see any continuous AF improvement in the description. I got my Z6 at a local camera store so I can bring it in. TRANIMAGING edited this topic 40 months ago. So to update your firmware on the Nikon Z you need a xqd card reader and said in the instruction? This is lame, wasn't planning to be a xqd card reader as i am bypassing it for the other cf express card. you connect your camera to your computer and turn it on. ^ "Pro Pedigree, DX Agility: The New Nikon D500 Establishes a New Era of DX-Format Performance" (Press release).^ "Conquer the Dark: The New Nikon D5 DSLR Shatters Expectations for Thrilling New Levels of Low-Light Performance, Image Quality and Speed" (Press release).^ "When There Is No Second Chance: The New Nikon FX-Format D4 Multi-Media Digital SLR is The Definitive Unification Of Speed And Precision" (Press release).^ "Nikon announces first camera to use new XQD cards".“the product availability of XQD has been held up by multiple parties including Sony (who owns the IP) which is preventing us from moving forward” Lexar has abandoned the XQD memory card format and is now focusing its attention on pushing for CFexpress as the future standard.

Nikon supports XQD cards in its newer high-end DSLR and mirrorless cameras: Nikon D4, Nikon D4s, Nikon D5, Nikon D6, Nikon D850, Nikon D500 and Nikon Z6 & Nikon Z7. On 4 September 2013, Sony released the PXW-Z100, a 4K prosumer camera that records onto XQD cards. Nonetheless, the cards will support acquisition in the broadcast quality MPEG HD422 50 Mbit/s format. For their broadcast products the XQD card will be classified as a secondary media as XQD is based around consumer technology. Sony has said their broadcast camcorders ( XDCAM and XDCAM EX) will support the XQD cards. In late 2018, Lexar – by then under new ownership – announced that it would discontinue support for the XQD format in favour of CFexpress, citing problems with control, licensing and product availability. In addition to Sony, as of August 2018, Nikon and Delkin are also manufacturing XQD cards. Īs of 2012, SanDisk and Kingston had not announced plans to produce XQD cards.
