By all accounts it really makes a difference with the very high high resolution bodies. Both to avoid the buffer filling up and buffer clearance of large NEF's.

Same as all similar 'new' technologies they will be cheap as chips once the initial surge is over.
I have a D4 and so far have taken around 90 images on the XQD card, hardly an exhaustive test.


I would say football has been my most challenging subject buffer wise, when a player starts a run, trying to capture the twists and turns, the frustration when the buffer is full then the player makes a shoot for goal and the shutter release does nothing... I used to carry a second camera for that moment, but usually I wasn't quick enough swapping from a first body with 300 f/2.8 to the second body with the 80-200 zoom f/2.8.

I would usually take between 300 and 500 exposures during a match.
