p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Has anyone done the D5 card slot exchange? | |
I had my D5 CF module changed to XQD recently here in Switzerland upon recent delivery of the NEXTO 2801 portable HDD with 1TB SSD:
https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/nextodi-nvs2801-review/
which accepts SD, SSD, C Fast, and CF & XQD (via reader), granting very fast transfer speeds, as I hated dragging my heavy Mac retina with me.
Nikon CH charged me CHF280 (US$295) for the privelige, I'm an African wildlife photographer and once I take delivery of my D850, will give me XQD continuity now with my D5 and D500. No rubber grips were touched and as la puffin guessed it was a simple unscrew module replacement, and were given back the CF module.
Having said that, I never found my D5 CF "bottle necked", you still get close to a buffer of 90 using 14 bit lossless RAW, which really was plenty, even for wildlife.
.......like a lot of us, still waiting on that D850 delivery, have been told "soon".
Cheers
Marc
