USH-II Memory Card Compatibility

ExpensiveHobby

When do you think Nikon will produce a camera body that can utilize existing UHS-II memory cards and what body tier do you think it will be?

good question.
With the design architecture of NIKON, it seems that the chip (expeed) make all treatments. Canon has a less integrated approach (more chip and each chip has a dedicated function)
If the support of SD interface is done inside the expeed, we could have to wait for the next version of expeed ...

It only seems like a logical step to me.

Basically my original question was a round-about way of asking... why do people get top of the line memory cards if the cameras they are being used in, cannot transfer the data fast enough to utilize that extra speed?

To future proof yourself?

If you're a pro, you might as well buy the best now and give yourself some breathing room. Just like tripods and such. You buy the biggest, most expensive tripod so you can get that 400 2.8 or 200-400 F4 down the road.

Pro or not, that's the plan.

They are not that much more $. Found SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 95 MB/s at Best Buy for $25 sometime back.
