Can I ask a numptie question......

What's wrong with the existing card speeds?

I've shot 9frame/sec bursts on the D3 and 15 sequential shots on the D750 and shot videos on the D750 using traditional (eg extreme pro) cards and not noticed any negative impact. What am I missing?


Not numptie but the D5 files are much bigger/fatter and at full speed saving to two cards and long bursts up to 100 frames slower cards run out of steam. That's even without 4K Video.

You could argue that you won't use the large file sizes and never at full speed and would never contemplate filling the buffer with 100 images (less than 10 seconds) but in that case why bother with the D5... The D3 is much lower investment and you know what? It takes pretty good photographs.

Just so my D200 doesn't get uppity; the D200 takes pretty good photographs too!!! :lol:
