Best XQD Memory Cards in 2023

Best XQD Memory Cards  for 2023! Looking for the best XQD memory cards for your camera ? Here are our top recommended and fastest XQD memory cards in 2023.

With its speed up to 400MB/s, the XQD cards are the fastest memory cards on the market, no other memory cards can beat the XQD cards at the time of writing. And the XQD cards are proven to be robust, durable and reliable and they are ideal for sports, wildlife and action photographers, as well as videographers. Currently, there are only a handful of cameras that accept XQD memory cards, including Nikon D5, D4S, D850, D500 DSLR cameras, Nikon Z6 & Z7, Panasonic S1 & S1R mirrorless cameras and some professional Sony camcorders like Sony FS7. We believe more and more new models will use XQD cards in the future.

But when it comes to XQD cards, the choices are very limited. Sony has pioneered the XQD format, and produces the best cards at the moment. Offering up to 440 MB/s read speeds and up to 400 MB/s write speeds, the Sony G Series XQD cards are the best choice and the most favorite among professional photographers, allowing it to record 4K video and up to 200 continuous raw still image bursts. The affordable Lexar 2933x XQD 2.0 memory cards are also amazing, but they are now discontinued, and it is hard to find it in stock anywhere. Sony M Series XQD cards are also discontinued. Another choice is Delkin Devices Premium XQD cards, and Nikon is planing to release their own XQD cards, so we will update this post once they are out.
