nice

The available space is only 101 GB. This is not what is expected.

Excellent Card

This is my primary card and I've had no issues with it. However, my next card will be the CFExpress type B since the D850 now supports that card.

Perfect for the Nikon D850

I shoot with my Nikon D850, a camera I love, and this card is the perfect card for that camera. I don't know if any cameras are being made for the XQD specifically anymore, but the price on these seems to be falling which makes it more and more cost effective to shoot with my 850.

Well maybe not bullet proof but bery, very good

The discription of this card says its virtually bullet proof. I need something that is easy to use and tha is difficult for me to damage. This fits the bill..

HIghly Recommend, as these just don't fail! (knock on wood!) Performance, price, reliability.

These are GREAT memory cards that work with the Nikon Z series of cameras! I use mine in a Z6, and even though it only has ONE card slot, I do not feel that it is in danger of failing, as the two that I have, work flawlessly each and every time. Highly recommend, much more than any SD Card, as they do tend to fail, and as such, my D7100 DOES have two SD card slots! Fast, reliable, and while not cheap, they are cheaper than the other type that works in the Z cameras from Nikon.

Quality without compromise!

I always look for the best quality, fastest cards I can buy - withough wanting to resort to the highest capacity. I have no interest in thumbing through more images on the card than I will ever shoot in a days work.... the Nikon Z9 with its crazy hi speed burst is the only possible exception to that rule - for those high speed events, where getting the action details is essential, and it can't be repeated. Price is a factor, but as I shoot cam raw images only - I feel I am balancing that with the capacity I need. Love the speed ratings - I don't want to wait on the camera buffer, and miss action.

OK card

Works fine. Some newer cards are a better value. Check out Ritz, for instance.

Fast card and like it?s solid build. I always hate how delicate the SD cards feel and can be easily miss placed due to size

Great media resource, writes really fast and gives me a great result. Never have had any issues while using these cards. Always a good idea to carry several extra ones.
