1 XQD slot and 1 SD slot, interesting. At least you can share cards with the D5 now.
That seems like an odd move....would have thought CF and SD would make more sense for a $2000 camera. The more odd move is producing a D5 with dual CF....move on to the new standard or just forget about it....
Well even the $3000+ D810 has 1CF and 1 SD.
Hard to say if its a space saving move, or a compromise - those moving from lesser cameras can keep their SD cards, and those sharing with a D4 and D5 can keep their XQD\'s.
XQD is cheaper than CFast, so I think a migration to XQD is logical. Nikon also collaborated with Sony and Sandisk when XQD was developed, so they are somewhat invested.
Thankfully cards aren\'t a big deal these days, unless you have unusual requirements, they are relatively inexpensive.
