But they have done it again, one card slot. :whip:

Why do you need two slots?

But in Z7/6 the slot is XQD and the latest specification allows for 4TB XQD cards I believe. I have 64GB XQD and SD cards in my D850, that is > 1400 shots of RAW.
I really dont see the need for dual slots. I think it is driven by a paranoia in wedding photographers about failure of cards. I have had one SD, CF or XQD fail and it was after a format not in live use. All electronics can fail.


If you are doing paid work the two card slots are a insurance policy. All the pros I know all work with cameras with two card slots.
