XQD cards

Hi guys, would any of you know where to buy an XQD card, I need one to fit into a card adapted, the card has to be the same size as an SDXC card

I've never used an XQD card before so I don't know what one to buy, can you link me to one please.

It's for a Sony video camera.

Thanks.

Plenty to choose from on Amazon.

Sony QDG64F/J 64GB XQD Flash Memory Card 440Mbps https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B081295B2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_R7c9FbZD45T0J

Thank you Captain, so those cards are the exact same size as the SDXC cards?

Thank you

They are the same size yeah but have a slightly different shape, SDXC cards have the corner missing, usually in the top right.

What Sony camera is it going in to?

Hi Thanks, Its for a Sony Z280 and a Sony XQD EXPRESS CARD ADAPTER, that's why it needs to fit into that adaptor.

Is this the card reader you're on about?

Then any XQD card will fit, they are a standard size and SDXC are also the same size cards.

Thank you, I use the SxS cards all the time in my Sony 320 video camera but a photographer friend of my uses XQD cards in his DSLR camera, he told me his XQD cards are a different size to the SDXC card, so his must be different again. Would that be right?

Thank you for the link for the XQD EXPRESS CARD ADAPTER, I contacted Visual Impact about them but are out of stock at the mo but will be back in soon, so will order then. Thanks.

What's the reason that XQD must be the same size as SDXC cards?

Well it was more about finding the correct size XQD cars to fit into the Adapter you linked me to. But if I took you up right, any XQD card will fit that adapter so I can't go wrong.

Its more like an SDXC would be too small for the XQD EXPRESS CARD ADAPTER.

Thank you so much for your help today.

XQD cards are much much larger then other cards especially the thickness of them.
I had to buy a new adapter to download pics via usb.

Captain's last post shows some of the difference.

Thanks for that, yes, I see now they are a different size. Not seeing the XQD EXPRESS CARD ADAPTER in reality, I wrongly assumed that they took an XQD card that was the same size as an SDXC Card. Now I know that is not the case.

Thank you.
