What is an XQD card?

An XQD card is a memory card with a very fast data rate and uses a PCI Express interface. These cards are mainly used in modern professional cameras where a fast write speed is required. The memory cards achieve a storage capacity of up to 256gb. The memory card slot for XQD cards is partially compatible with that of CF cards (Compatctflash card), but this usually requires a firmware update.

The Nikon D4 was the first camera with an XQD card slot, and they have subsequently been installed in other Nikon cameras such as the Nikon Z6/Z6II, Z7/Z7 II.

The XQD cards are perfectly suited for high-resolution 4k video recordings, as they achieve a write speed of up to 400 MB/s and a read speed of up to 440 MB/s. This means that video recordings with 4k/60p are possible. Video recordings with 4k/60p are therefore possible without any problems.

Sony introduced the FDR-AX1 in 2013 and planned this camcorder with an XQD slot.

To read an XQD card, an XQD card reader is required. Memory card readers for XQD cards are generally more expensive than card readers for SD cards. This is because the majority of these card readers work with a smaller / lower data rate than is the case with XQD.
