Press the shutter button. This card will last!

Makes SD cards look like snails. DAMN FFFFFAAAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTT! If your Nikon has an XQD slot and you're considering whether to spend the extra money or just buy SD cards, stop and buy this card. Don't buy it today, you'll remember you read it when your buffer fills up and you miss it, or buy it and see yourself trying in vain to play this card. This is a card that you can use to test your camera's shutter limits. 400+ megabytes per second,” Nuff said. A good thing.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Hide

Less than 50 test shots and the card is fried

Bought this card a week ago when I got my new Nikon D850. Took less than 50 test shots, deleted photos and reformatted the card once or twice. The card now reports an error. Unable to reformat to fix the error. The card is a total loss. Now I have to find it in the store for tomorrow's photo shoot. I hope to find another brand other than Sony. [UPDATE May 12, 2019] I went to my local camera shop and spoke to one of the salespeople. He recommended Delkin Devices' XQD cards, not Sony's non-Sony…

Reliable Sony, no bologna.

If your camera uses something like this, you probably paid a lot of money for it. Sony releases several models of this memory card with different storage capacities and transfer rates. If your camera records 9 to 12 or more frames per second or records 4K video, you've come to the right place. If you think this is not possible, your camera may work well with a card that uses slower data rates or less memory. Either way, it will cost you less. Take a moment and read your camera manual and make…

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • It worries me

Is there only one other choice?

The Nikon D850 is a great camera, there's no doubt about that, but if you want to take full advantage of this camera's capabilities you should definitely get at least one Sony Professional X qd-G series card , just no choice. I hope that in the future someone else will come along and give Sony an opportunity to make money at a better price than we have now! This card works really well. I only use it as my main card because of its processing speed. Another problem Sony is also the only…

Significantly lower capacity than specified!

My rating refers to the Sony XQD 120GB. I tested this card with my Nikon Z6 and it works great, the card reads and writes very quickly and transfers incredibly fast too. What's worse, I know memory cards have a little less capacity than advertised, but if you look at my screenshot, my computer shows that the memory card is only 101GB when the card is 120GB! That's a 15.83% reduction in storage capacity! I really hope this is a defect. If anyone else is having this issue, please write a review…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old

Only worked 4 days before Revain refused return

Only worked 4 days. I uploaded a photo via a PC card reader, plugged it back into my Nikon D850 camera, took a picture and then got a card reading error. Tried a second Nikon D500 camera body and also got the same error. Put it back into the PC card reader and after 2 or 3 minutes it was able to read but had errors reading and writing files. I tried both camera bodies again and they still gave a read error. Couldn't reformat either because of an error. When attempting to return Revain it said…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Sony XQD 128GB card not working?

I bought a Sony XQD 128GB card and it took a month and a half to use it. It works in camera but I can't upload photos to my Mac. Mac does not recognize the card. I have a 64GB Sony XQD card and it is recognized perfectly. I've tried this on both my iMac and my wife's iMac. Both 64GB cards are recognized but the 128GB card is not. I even downloaded Sony's XQD card reader software but it still doesn't work. And since it's over a month old, I can't return it. If I had known, I would have tried…
