Accepts Compact Flash Type I memory.Nikon D5 CF Assessment
Nikon launched the D5 in two versions. This one, the Dual Compact Flash version and a Dual XQD version
Nikon D5 XQD. These cameras are completely identical except for the type of memory cards they use. Their dual slots are always symetric which makes it easier to handle than previous assymetric models.
XQD memory is faster at this time than Compact Flash, so the Nikon D5 XQD has better throughput than the CF version. Both still shoot at the same speed, up to 12 FPS normally or 14 FPS with the mirror locked up.
To find out everything there is to know about these two flagship DSLR cameras read the Nikon D5 XQD Review here.
