XQD is dead

CF is a dead end. It is dying a slow death - what's keeping it alive is the huge install base it had from the beginning of the digital camera era and the Pros who have a huge inventory of cards to use.

All the mass market cameras have shifted to SD - I can rarely find any CF cards in the big box stores anymore.

The PR from Nikon was that they needed a faster card for video. Well, Sony’s NEX-VG900 - their latest 35mm sensor video camera uses SD - no XQD to be found.

I like the speed of XQD but I don't plan to buy anymore XQD cards unless more cameras come out using it.
