Lexar Lexar Professional 1333x 64GB XQD Card LXQD64GCRBNA1333

Bought this for my Nikon D4, which has dual slots - the other being Compact Flash. Not many systems utilize XQD and it may not last as a format - kinda like Beta, which was better than VHS but didn't win out for some lame reason having to do with money and marketing. Nikon has not used it in any other body. Only a few manufacturers even make XQD card. It's faster than Compact Flash at transfer speeds to your computer. Not by much probably. But both are literally 5 times faster downloading to my computer than the SD card from my D810. Ridiculous that no one ever says that. Plug in the SD card with 8 gigs to download and you're stuck for 15 minutes, criminy. XQD or CF, about 2 minutes. They're all high speed cards. I bought the required Sony XQD card reader and it has a smooth, machined-like spring click when you push in the card. Just feels high tech. Cool system, don't know if it will last though. Had no choice with the D4.

fast...so good

I had high hopes for these. but our Sony FS7 would not work with the card. We got multiple errors.

It's slow in the camera when viewing when it's alone. Also gives error messages occasionally. Not feeling confident about it.

Great card at a nice price. If you use a D4 you really should have these cards!

This Lexar XQD x1333 card gives exactly the number of continous shoots, NIKON describes in its Nikon D4s manual, that is 78 lossless 14bit pictures in one burst: in other words it's as good as it can get normally and sufficient for amateurs and pros alike. A good card for a good Price.

don't buy it. it's s***!

This card works absolutely perfectly with our FS7 cameras. We can shoot in any mode at any data rate, and the performance is enough to keep up. The Sony branded cards are far more expensive for speed that you'll only notice while transferring data to the computer. At this point in time, there is no need to spend more, in my opinion.
