Effects the D500, D850, D5 as this is meant to be the premium card to use.

XQD cards are made by Sony, but in past also by Lexar.  Kingston and Sandisk are considering whether they want to enter the market but I wouldnt hold my breath on this!. Existing stocks should be sufficient for cameras that are about.

Apparently Sony hold the rights to the XQD type and require licensing (read $) for others to manufacture.

XQD has been superceded by a new faster SD like card apparently. Need to search out the details.

The replacement heavy duty card is the CF Express, apparently it had dual channels from the processor, which at a stroke makes it twice as fast as the existing XQD cards it seems.

What I'd like is an XQD to SD adapter for the D850.

It would appear that the new CFexpress cards will back compatible to XQD slots.

Provided the manufacturers firmware is updated, how likely is that with Nikon?

Does anyone have the pinouts and their associated naming for XQD cards? I cant seem to find this in my searches.
