In my D850 I have a 128GB QXD and a 64GB SD. This provides me with 1400 images. Much too many.
I am thinking that I will move the 128GB QXD to the Z7 (900 images) and get a 64GB XQD to put into the D850. So both cameras will have 900 image potential. More than enough, even for a busy day.
I tend to be a bit heavy on bracketing since Lightroom made it so easy to process HDR images. Even so, over five nights in Scotland I 'only' took about 2000 images which just about filled a 32Gb card in the D3. From those 2000 exposures I have selected and processed about 55 which I would feel comfortable posting anywhere, or putting in an album. A couple of hundred were time-lapse which I had hoped might have produced some star trails, but didn't due to cloud cover.
With the advances in exposure and focus since the D3 to the D850 and Z6-7 I would anticipate a better keeper ratio. Also I would hope and expect a slower and more methodical approach which should improve the composition and focus of the images. I haven't seen any mention of it but I understand the most electronic viewfinders have a magnify function which allows you to zoom to a pre determined magnification. That would be invaluable to me, especially if the magnified area can be moved with the joystick.
Can anyone confirm the EVF zoom on the Z cameras?
