    Sony XQD memory cards

    in Nikon

    Posted

    I assume majority of us is using XQD memory cards in our D850. I am using Sony G 64gb and I note, that there are two versions of this, viz. e/j and f/j, however I cannot find an explanation anywhere of the difference. It is not mention on the card, but the labels on the card is different. Some help here?

    Another use is in the mountains. If you are shooting landscapes and capture small villages far away, you sometimes just want to know what they are called. With a GPS that has a digital compass this is a piece of cake. Just look it up on Google maps from your processing software which has the location and direction of your lens. I use a Dawntech Eco Pro 2. It's a minuscule GPS unit that plugs into the Nikon 10 pin connector. Works a treat. Only had it for a year or so but wish I would have bought it years ago.

    I have the same GPS model plus the one without compass and agree they are very good. I had 3 others prior to the Dawntech units and they were terrible. If you upload to Flickr then the name of location is automatically shown, but not always the correct name, but that is Flickr.

    Out of interest, why? I wouldn't want it as a way to find my way around, but are you wanting to triangulate to where a bird nest was? I wouldn't have thought a D5 was the obvious body to carry up a mountain in a jungle (or for pixel density for birds), although I admit it's about as waterproof as Nikon will get short of Nikonos and the 1 AW.

    I am not myself a bird photographer, however, I understand, that when you go for some specific birds, they only f.inst. at altitude of 1,000 to 1,500 meters, hence that function is important. The reason for D5 is the fps, but many also use the D500. Regarding using a gps that is for plotting the various birds. I myself use a gps to identify, where I have taken various photos during my trips, as I sometimes visit the small villages with ethnic people several times, and to be honest my memory is not always, what it used to be.
