Memory cards used in the Nikon D850<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In my post comparing the Nikon D850 and D500 for bird photography<\/a> I mentioned the buffer of the D850 as a potential issue for longer burst sequences. At that stage I hadn\u2019t had much opportunity to assess this. Using my standard 128Gb SanDisk Extreme Pro 95Mb\/sec cards and backing up to a Sony XQD card I hadn\u2019t run into any real issues even with flight sequences so hadn\u2019t explored faster cards or just shooting to the XQD card. After a bit more experience using the camera I can update my opinion of memory cards for the Nikon D850. This is simply my hands on impressions from using these cards in the field for bird photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an upcoming trip I was looking at getting some extra cards but balked at the price of the faster 300Mb\/sec cards. Interestingly I found a couple of second hand cards available through one of my regular photography retailers which were great value and just what I will need for my trip. One of these happened to be a 128Gb SanDisk Extreme Pro 300Mb\/sec card which I spent a week using while photographing Fairy Terns. These tiny rare birds are a challenge so when you manage to get one close enough and framed, prolonged bursts are the order of the day to try and get a good image. Once the fast SD card was full I overflowed onto the XQD and had no issues with a full buffer with either. When both were full I switched over to a 256Gb SanDisk Extreme Pro 170 Mb\/sec card and immediately noticed a difference, hitting into a full buffer and having to wait for it to clear. From what I have read online it seems that the 170 Mb\/sec cards are not appreciably faster than the 95 Mb\/sec Extreme Pro cards. From a practical perspective using the cards, the 300 Mb\/sec cards are significantly faster allowing more shots before the buffer fills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most uses the cheaper 95 or 170Mb\/sec cards are perfectly adequate but if you are needing to shoot prolonged sequences the 300Mb\/sec cards have a definite advantage. My standard setup now will be to use the fast SD card backing up to the XQD. This gives me 128Gb of storage which is enough for a busy day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My experience only includes SanDisk cards as I use them exclusively. I have previously used SanDisk and Lexar CF cards (and a 2Gb Hitachi Microdrive<\/a> which was massive back in the day with a Nikon D70). I ran into trouble with a pair of Lexar 32Gb CF cards in my Nikon D3s. Occasional files would be corrupted and errors showed with a card testing program. I never lost any images as I always shot with 2 cards set to backup and the same file was never corrupted on both cards. I contacted Lexar who replaced both cards but the issue persisted until I replaced them with SanDisk cards. I\u2019m not sure if it was a card batch issue or an issue peculiar to the D3s but since then I have just stuck with SanDisk Extreme Pro cards which have never given me a problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
