Nikon announces 64GB and 120GB XQD memory cards
Nikon made quite a splash in the digital imaging world this week with the announcement of its new Z6 and Z7 mirrorless cameras. In a much more quiet fashion the company also launched two new XQD memory cards on its Japanese website.
As you would expect, the cards can be used with the new Z-series camera models and with a lot of buzz around the new camera models Nikon is likely hoping to leverage the opportunity and get its foot into the memory card market.
Nikon offers a 64GB and 120GB card and both variants boast a maximum read speed of 440MB/s and a maximum write speed of 400MB/s. At this point there is no pricing information on the Nikon website but the Japanese camera rumor site Nokishita reported a price of ¥17,820 (approximately $160) for the 64GB card and ¥29,160 (approximately $262) for the 120GB version.
Nikon says both cards will be released in late September 2018, so hopefully more information on pricing outside Japan will be available soon.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
