<p>I am going to buy a D500 soon and am looking into the memory cards. I currently shoot with a D200, and thats the only DSLR I have owned, so 1 card slot, and no video... so no choices. Best memory card at the time was 4gb, so I have a few cause they only hold 200raw files = the only choice (and I still have those original cards so I've never had to research farther into choices as they developed). <br /><br />Here is my question; How does the Camera Allocate storage between 2 card slots? And how do those 2 slots deal with video vs still frames? I shoot raw, but have never shot more then 1000photos in a day and always get all my images off the camera at the days end. So I am looking to go with a small but top of the line Lexar 32GB Professional 1000x UHS-II SDHC Memory Card (Class 10, UHS Speed Class 3). This should be able to shoot about 1250 raw images which is perfect as a 1 and done for the day, (the 256gb version, the largest they make atm would hold 10,000+ images which is just ludicrous considering I empty the card at the end of the day). But if I shoot video especially 4k does it save to the same card, or does it use the XQD card for the video exclusively? Should I just get the Lexar Professional 128GB 2933x XQD 2.0 Memory Card as my XQD card, because of video? Or does it fill 1 card then the other, which would mean I should get the 128gb XQD AND the 256gb version of the SDHC? OR IF it fills 1 card then the other is it possible to tell it what to fill first? Meaning I could just have the large XQD, and the small 32gb SDHC as overflow? Please help me out. Thanks!</p>
