But I was talking about the D5, the files are bigger and I would use 25fps if it were available.
Using my D3 for motor racing with my Nikkor 300mm f/2.8, I select a point on the tarmac and rattle off three or four frames in the expectation that one will be in the focus zone. Same with field sports like rugby and football, I can often get a cracking image out of a sequence of rapid shots, rather than trying to snipe them, single shot.
Digital film is cheap.A D5 with dual CF slots would be faster than a D4 I would expect, my point was that the D4 isn't seriously disadvantaged by the lack of an XQD card. The faster D5 may well be at some disadvantage but, a D5 with XQD slots becomes a door stop should XQD, or compatible, cards become unavailable.
As it happens I have never used the continuous modes on either D3 body, I prefer to press the shutter repeatedly but that is obviously a personal choice. The D4 seems particularly suited to my method.
