There is an adapter that allow XQD to iPad download. I saw the reader yesterday when searching for other information. I am surprised that XQD has been chosen as card as I think it limits market but I am told that XQD will be as ubiquitous as SD! I have searched for a SD card to XQD adpater but apparently it doesnt exist. Well I contacted a large USA company and asked the question. I think it is just a matter of time as it is always possible to build an adapter.

I agree that once the technology and concept is proven and refined then a DZ6 might be the logical next step. This would be the first mirrorless camera with D series body but dont know how this is approached from a marketing perspective as it may fragment professional camera sales. If the EN-EL15b can only deliver 330 shots then a DZ series camera with a bigger battery is required for photo journalists as 1000+ shots per charge is more desirable. BTW a battery grip is promised for the Z7/Z6.

I suppose I could use WiFi to transfer....or go via the desktop? The problem is ...emptying the card in the field..no I would not multi buy at current prices. My WD external hard drive has a simple SD slot. If I want to continue to use it I will need to take more paraphernalia with me. Need to consider changing workflow ...as well as the cameras performance/feel.

Only 9FPS? I thought the big plus with mirrorless cameras is very fast FPS the D850 does 9FPS. I do think it is good that the new mount with suitsable adaptor will let us use present range of AF-S lenses. I will have a look at one out of interest. No change for me at moment am very happy with what I have.

I think we need to be cautious with adoption of the z series as it is the 'second' generation of Nikon mirrorless but in truth is the first really serious mirrorless camera by them. The speed and accuracy of AF in stills and video mode will determine success/failure.

Cautious? You Jonathan? I am surprised you haven't got both on order already?  The 9fps does sound disappointing compared to the Sony Alphas 20fps.

Think you will find the fps is well more than 9fps , depends on the bit depth, it is reported the the battery use is far higher than 300 exposures per charge, like iro 1000 albeit with JPEGs. Both bodies are essentially identical except for the sensor resolution, making the Z6 very good value. Reports are of a completely flicker free viewfinder except perhaps in some artificial lighting. The 5 axis sensor is the image stabilisation medium. I understand that changes to 3 axis for non z mount lenses but it still means any Nikkor including the oldest pre AI lenses will have the advantage of image stabilisation. There is provision to input the lens data for lenses without a CPU chip. The Wi-Fi can connect directly to a computer or perhaps iPad and also to a router to transmit image files across a network or the internet. Mind you, we have heard this before... Snapbridge anybody?
