The photography arena today has gone through tremendous innovations. The latest in the line up is XQD Cards. Designed to offer excellent read and write speeds and enhanced storage options. But which cameras do support the XQD cards? Let us check out the Cameras using XQD Cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

XQD Card Format \u2013 The History<\/h4>\n

The need for the new version of the memory card was necessitated because of the focus on high-resolution photography and faster cameras. A considerably higher degree of reading and write speeds along with increased storage was what necessitated the launch of high-efficiency cards.<\/p>\n

The new format was first announced by Sony, Nikon, and SanDisk in 2010. However, it remained a possibility on paper for quite an extended period. The final draft on the specifications was announced in 2011. The first XQD card was finally made available in 2012 by Sony. It came with a whopping 1 Gbps of reading and write speeds.<\/p>\n

As the development of the XQD cards progressed, there were several new cards launched and offered a read and write speeds of around 400 MB per sec and storage capacity extended to 2 TB.<\/p>\n
