If you have read about new Z7 and Z6 mirrorless cameras from Nikon, you will most likely have also read about all the controversy around the card slots. Many people complaining about Nikon’s choice to only supply a single card slot, instead of a dual card slot system, into their two new cameras.

This has stirred up a lot of anger among the comments and animosity towards the new cameras. Most of this is because many are simply not quite grasping the technical details behind Nikon’s decision. Once understood it will become more clear and the value of their choice, will become more appreciated.

As I have already written a tech spec comparison between the Nikon Z7 vs Sony A7R III, I am going to use them as the example case here, although the same applies to the Nikon Z6 as well.

Let’s get right into it shall we.
