Am I correct in assuming the D850 will shoot its fastest if I leave the SD slot empty and only use the XQD card?
Second best solution is to get one of the newer most expensive UHS-II SD cards with 300mb/s write speed like the Sony SF-G UHS-II SDXC? Which are as nearly as expensive as the XQD cards. $450 for two 128gb cards is pretty obnoxious.
But if I only want to use the SD slot for backup and use one of my older 100mb/s SD cards am I going to hit a speed barrier, especially with sports type shooting?
(And yes I just ordered a D850 because one of my older bodies needed repairs.)
