I want an SD card to XQD slot adapter. Still not found one. It must be possible to make. Need to get pinouts for XQD and also SD cards.

Not 100% up on the tech, just posting on the hoof from memory, I posted a link about it a while back...As CFExpress cards aren't available yet I don't think Nikon have released any firmware updates for them.

Good point! Later this year? https://www.dpreview.com/news/9327963087/prograde-demonstrates-first-ever-1tb-cfexpress-card-with-1-400mb-s-read-speed The Brochure for the Z6 states that a firmware upgrade will be available to enable compatibility with the CFexpress cards and elsewhere read that will extend to the other XQD bodies. Just got a bit ahead of reality there!

Yes I saw that but I suspect that Sony, Lexar, Delkin XQDs will be more competitively priced. However Nikon may be doing this as a way of using their cards in bundles and rebates.

Yes, saw that Geoff, We are currently in an avalanche of information and sifting through it all, sorting the wheat from the chaff is a full time job! I am watching several forums and researching myself too. Exciting times. This is a bit of a long read but for those with the time it's very interesting. https://cdn-4.nikon-cdn.com/e/Q5NM96RZZo-RRZZFeeMiveET0gVQ--AxJI7g-xcLVNVcp7mdwZQz5w==/Misc/Z_Engineer_Interview_Brochure.pdf

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.

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?
