But they have done it again, one card slot.
Why do you need two slots?
But in Z7/6 the slot is XQD and the latest specification allows for 4TB XQD cards I believe. I have 64GB XQD and SD cards in my D850, that is > 1400 shots of RAW.
I really dont see the need for dual slots. I think it is driven by a paranoia in wedding photographers about failure of cards. I have had one SD, CF or XQD fail and it was after a format not in live use. All electronics can fail.
If you are doing paid work the two card slots are a insurance policy. All the pros I know all work with cameras with two card slots.
In any case, I see these two as the equivalent of the D750 and D850 rather than equating to a mirrorless D5.
