Looks very interesting 20.8 MP seems about right, 12 fps and 4K movie. Wonder how much it will be?

Regarding the 'two versions' it seems there will in fact be one: The XQD, the option is to return the new camera to Nikon for retrofitting two CF slots in what Nikon regard as degrading the body, because it is claimed it will cause a -4 times reduction in performance compared with the XQD spec.

I am very interested as it my solve some of the noise problems I am getting with the D810 in poor light. I will wait till the first reviews and the must have it rush is over and prices settle down. I have not used XLD cards myself but a sports photographer friend with a D4S said they are very fast and had no failures compared to CF cards. They are also a must have if you do video with the camera.

That seems really stupid to downgrade a camera just to use cheaper CF cards. I have never seen an XQD card but I am sure that anyone buying a D5 should be able to afford an XQD card!

The downgrade to CF is chargeable too. So it costs you more for a hobbled product. Why do Nikon even bother to offer it?

A pair of 128gb XQD cards will run about $ 900 US.

The card recommended by Nikon is the Lexar 2933x XQD 2.0 card http://www.lexar.com/pro-2933x-xqd A pair of 128Gb = ~ $1,200 A pair of 64Gb = ~ $658 A pair of 32Gb = ~ $356 I would have though anybody able to afford $5,200 for a body would be able to afford the investment in the cards? You don't HAVE to get two and you probably don't need 128Gb cards. Bit like buying a Ferrari but not affording the petrol... How much is 3.2 MILLION ASA film a roll? The D5 can take 200 shots continuously at 3.2 million ISO @ 12 shots/second. That would be a lot of film? The fastest Color film I could find quickly was 400 & 800ASA @ about £10 per 36 exposure roll. At a motorcycle race meeting or a days photography of a botanic garden, I usually take at least 1000 exposures, that would be in the region of £360 for film, on ONE day! Then would need processing @ about £10 per roll... Then you would have to either print or scan the negatives. Looking at it from that POV the cards are pretty cheap.
