Thank you this was extremely helpful. I didn't want to pay that pretty price tag for the cfq card, but if it made my camera significantly faster I would've picked it. Since it isn't too big of a deal for me, I'm saving money.
I've been recording 4k 30fps on a 95MB/s card for a while without any issues. Converting the 144 Mbps bitrate to MB/s the 4k footage should only be using about 18MB/s. Is the advantage to having a faster card just for burst photos?
Thank you for this video. I have the Z7 II and every time I review the photo just taken on the back screen, I can visualize all of the information of the photo (aperture, shutter, iso, etc.). Still, I can also see it says "Fine" as if I took the photo as a JPG when in reality I have it to RAW. I guess it is reading the 2d slot (for me is the XQD) and not the first slot (for me is the SD ... RAW). The question is why is the back screen reading the XQD second slot settings and not the primary 1st slot with the RAW files? Any suggestions?
is it ok to just go with sd card in z6ii? since xqd is so expensive, i shoot wedding videos, back when i'm using nikon dslr i have no problem shoot videos, please help sir
Sure, CFexpress is just a bit faster (and less expensive at higher capacities), but thanks to the good UHS-II SD card controller, the difference isn't that big.
Thanks sir for your answer, But What about uhs-I ? Is is still safe to shoot sometimes 4k in z6ii sir? Since in my country seems like uhs-II prices are just expensive like xqd .
If I use a CFexpress card as the "main card" and an SD card as the "backup card" in the Nikon Z6 II, will the camera's internal buffer memory still fill up faster during continuous shooting because the CFexpress card writes faster but the data still has to be transferred to the slower (SD) backup card ? In other words, does the combination of main (CFexpress) and backup (SD) card do me any good at all ?
Well, depends on the actual mode. If you just wanna mirror card A+B, the speed is limited by the slowest card, since the buffer has to be cleared and therefore the image must be written on both cards. But let's say you are using the CFexpress slot for RAW and the SD slot for JPEG, the lower speed of the SD card might be OK, since less data has to be written.
Thanks for the video very helpful just had a question. I have a Nikon z72 and while I mostly shoot landscape photography using an SD card. I started shooting video, was considering the angel bird 512 GB se CF Express card b because I heard it was the best for shooting long duration videos. Is this the maximum size you can put in the Nikon z72? Can you put any size gigabyte card in there?
For SD cards the maximum size is 2 TB (SDXC specification), CFexpress is specified for up to 128 PiB - so not an actual limitation any time soon. We tested an 1 TB Angelbird card and that worked fine: vturl.de/g/1rx But you don't need CFexpress cards for video recordings at all. SD cards are usually much cheaper per gigabyte and the Nikon Z 6II/Z 7II is fine with V60 video speed class.
No, the first Z6 is featuring both: No SD card as well as a much slower CFexpress implementation. But we have tested the Z6 as well: www.memorycard-lab.com/-Cameras/Nikon-Z6
Just picked up a z6ii, this was a very informative video, thanks for the help.

Primarily, but also for 4K60, UHS-II V60 or CFexpress Cards are required, because the bitrate is higher.
@@memory-card sweet thanks a lot dude!
This stuff is so complicated haha too many notations on the damn cards

@@memory-card Thanks a lot !
for z6ii, lexar 1800x will shoot 4k 30 ?
Yeah, that's totally fine.

@@memory-card thank you I appreciate it
Can I used ush1 card in z6ii
Sure. But it will be noticeably slow^^ Have a look at: www.memorycard.guru/-Cameras/Nikon-Z6-II_SD
Is it the same for nikon z6 mark 1??
No, the first Z6 is featuring both: No SD card as well as a much slower CFexpress implementation. But we have tested the Z6 as well: www.memorycard-lab.com/-Cameras/Nikon-Z6
Numeric figures on the test results will be much better than verbal. Sorry to say that I need to watch it another time to get the full picture. 🥲
Or just click on the link in the video description for all results :)
