Warning - be careful of XQD cards !
« on: March 18, 2012, 02:31:56 pm »

Warning! You can push an XQD card into a CF slot by mistake and wreck the CF pins.

For now this warning only applies to the Nikon D4.

Will definitely watch out when mine comes in. Maybe some change in dimensions or at least color coding couldn't have hurt?

Yes, it's really interesting they engineered a device which poses a risk to the one it is supposed to replace.

Is it also possible to stick XQD cards in the CF slot?

Then you are really lucky !

Stick in, but not use. They have different contacts.
