Industry News: Nikon to make a D6 announcement on September 4, 2019
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Further confirmation that the DSLR is dead. 
IBIS is a nice addition!
Wave bye-bye to XQD. Presumably the D6 will support XQD, though. What’s nice is that like my 1D X (and unlike most other dual slot cameras including the 1D X II), the D6 will have two identical slots, which is really the way to go for dual-saving images.

I'm enjoying my new mirrorless, but I'd never trust a Sony A9 or A7R iv anywhere close to the rugged awesomeness of a Nikon D6 or Canon 1DX mk ii
Some on Youtube blab that Sony is way ahead, but for a complete dependable package, Nikon and Canon flagship bodies are like fortresses.

Might be a good idea to do a beat up test on you tube. I recall a guy on youtube used to do that. : )

Physically they are same(Type-B) but use different protocols. Xqd is pci-e 2.0 interface with some unknown protocol while CFxpress moves to PCI-e 3.0 interface with NVMe protocol (electrical interface being same betn two many devices are capable of supporting CFxpress via firmware upgrade.). Both CF(IDE) & CFast(Sata) are dead moving forward with introfuction of CFxpress. Since Canon absolutley loves antiquated standards(Micro B connector on 90D with USB 2.0 controller) we can rest assured that replacement for 1Dx Mk 2 will come with atleast 1x CFast or CF slot unlike D6 which is moving away from 2xXQD.

So Nikon must be slowly getting away from having several D# models in fewer years and just having one camera spread over more years. Many D2 models, three D3 models, two D4 models, and now just one D5 model.

Should be interesting to see the relative directions Nikon and Canon go with their new pro bodies. I can't see myself investing in a 1DX Mark III at this point but who knows. There would have to be some pretty compelling advantages. Those insanely expensive and increasingly obsolete CFAST cards are going to be yet another waste of storage dollars I imagine.

I like being able to write to cheap and readily available SD cards. If Canon and Nikon go to dual internal exotics they should also provide a way to direct write via port to external media. In fact, they should do that regardless.Further confirmation that the DSLR is dead.

Could always make the CFast cards as external storage drives for your computer lol. I've thought about doing that with mine.

They're great for "sneaker-netting" between computers but man do they get hot when you burn a lot of data onto one.
