Hi all, Lance here. Don't know about you but I've been overwhelmed with all the new item,s coming down the pike or soon to be released! Let's touch on a few things I found interesting. First, off this side by side comparison, I saw on Nikon Rumors Sony A7, Nikon Z7 and Canon EOS R full-frame mirrorless cameras side by side Then this press released from Lexar in regards to XQD cards! Contrary to earlier market reports, which as the Polish Distributor of the Lexar brand have also been confirmed in one of the previous announcements, the XQD cards with the Lexar logo will not appear on the market. The new owner of Lexar recognized that in the face of Sony's monopoly for the XQD license and a relatively small number of compatible Nikon models, further investment and development of this technology makes no sense. The future, however, does not look as bad as it might seem. At the recently completed Photokina 2018 exhibition, the Lexar booth was presented with the CFExpress 1.0 card, announced as a direct successor of XQD. What most paid attention was the incredible transfer speed of files, which in the case of reading should be as much as 1400MS / s! It's more than three times faster than the fastest XQD series offered by Lexar so far. This standard is to be backward compatible with older devices, however a software upgrade will be required. The ball is therefore on the side of Nikon, whose decisions regarding the list of models covered by the updates will directly affect the release date of the new card. Unofficially, it is said that this will not happen sooner than at the end of the first quarter of 2019. To make it more interesting, Canon also entered the game, which pushes the CFExpress standard to appear as the successor of CFast cards. This is not surprising - offered by the new standard of transfer rates would be an extremely attractive alternative for users of the producer's popular film cameras. We only have to be patient and hope that the largest of this photographic world will come to an agreement as soon as possible, so that the CFExpress standard will be in the slots of our cameras and cameras offering speeds that we could only dream about a moment ago. Lastly in the mood for the season. Here's a retouch I did of a subject I captured at our local zoo. Would you want to see a tutioral of how this was done? LMK and we'll see! Happy Clicking Lance
