I like this photo and especially the information contained in it. Stations under renovation, Stations in operation !!

I do not have a camera requiring the XQD cards, however, because of my curiosity, I just checked if any XQD cards are available in Vietnam, but only Sony is available in one of the bigger nationwide shops:

32GB usd 118

64GB usd 153

64GB G usd 219

128GB usd 241

256GB ask for price

These cards are so new, that it is unlikely, that fake ones are in circulation in Asia yet -:)

I had a Velbon for about 15 years and was very happy, but not so much any longer, as I lost it 6 months ago – probably during packing the car after a visit to an island by boat!

Only problem I had was the rubber on the handles got sticky in the heat in Vietnam. I wrote to their office in Japan, that they ought to make some product development to solve the problem, and 2 weeks later I received a full set of handles free of charge with a note that, they had solved the issue.

I have had exactly the same experience first time with a Tamron and was even more surprise, when it also appear on Nikon 1.4 and 2.0.

I do not know what it is, but they are all 3 functioning very well.

I also have a photo from this time of the year + 32 C - and mine is also from Angkor Wat. The little sign "No Entry" made me very happy -:)

It seems the Sony G series 64GB XQD card has gone up in price by about 20% in the US stores since July when I got two of those in anticipation of getting the D850. In Finland the cards are >2x as expensive as in the US (even though I often buy lenses and cameras from local stores I don't buy memory cards from them because they're robbing the customer on such items, always have been).

Sony obviously apply the same price policy all over Scandinavia - 128gb is USD 400. The demand of the XQD must be big even it is a niche product, as you can find them 2nd hand on Ebay at B&H prices + 20% !!
