why in the world do they see the need for this? I still go by the rule of no need for larger cards than the life of your battery.
I said many times that I would give my left arm for a large sensor camera that would fit in my pocket. When the Leica x1 was introduced, I fell in love with it's ability but not it's features...when the first fuji x100 came to be I really fell in love!
The "rangefinder" form factor of Fuji and some Sony mirrorless are just great. The fuji and Sony "mini SLR" bodies are lost on me. If I want a DSLR, I would use my Nikons...if I want to use a lens that is long enough to require a tripod, I'll use my Nikons (what difference does it make that they are heavy since I'm already lugging the tripod).
Then there is the XQD...really? SD cards are the standard...why would Nikon (again) buck this trend...is this another Sony Memory stick...yes! I already have too many adapters and cables...NO MORE....
I always thought I would be a single brand guy..Fuji turned me into a dual brand guy... I'll stay that way
