I also like the XQD cards. However, I find that CF cards are built much better. All of my XQD cards are falling apart. Flimsy sides are breaking off. I have CF cards that are going on 7 years old now without any issues. My 6 month old Sony XQD cards are falling apart. I haven\'t tried the Lexar branded cards yet, but they are next. If/when I get a D5, I\'ll go with CF. By the time I sell the camera, it will be worth nothing anyway.
I\'ve been using XQD since the D4 and I do roll all cards every 2-3 years. physically and electrically I have had no issue with any of my G series Sony cards (4) and also none with my Lexar 2933x cards (2). these cards do see substantial use. since they as do CF cards go in only one way I have observed users trying to give that extra effort to see if these cards will go in any which way. that of course leads to \"issues\". from what I can see that\'s pretty much the only way to do them harm.
