Nikon Can Swap Out the Memory Card Slots in the D5 Between CF and XQD
The new Nikon D5 is available in 2 different versions: one with dual CompactFlash memory card slots, and one with dual XQD slots. Both cameras cost $6,497 right now, and you’ll need to make a decision on which one you want when you purchase.
But there’s some good news: the decision isn’t permanent. If you decide you’d like to use the other format later on, Nikon will take your camera and exchange the memory card slots for you.
A fee does apply, though. No word yet on exactly how much the format swap costs.
