Sorry, it\'s another one of those threads. According to this site: http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/nikon-d500/sd-and-xqd-card-speed-test/, the SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s SD card can do 85 shots continuously in the D500 in raw. I have a D500 but am still waiting for the Sony XQD card from B&H. For folks who use the XQD card in the D500, have you actually shot 200 shots continuously? It seems to me 85 is more than plenty. I know more is better and everyone has different needs, but the 64GB XQD card is 3 times the price of the 64GB SD. Since I don\'t use the SD slot as backup, I am beginning to wonder if I would do fine with the 95MM/s SD cards.

Please enlighten me. Thank you.
