The point of a Type A is that it can fit an SD card, so if you need a card in a remote location you can get it conveniently.

- mnholt 4y agoI understand that, but I think the target users of the Z9 would much rather have faster I/O. There are a number of articles and videos benchmarking the Z9 and the buffer performance is directly correlated to the speed of the storage. If Nikon went with Type A/SD their theoretical max buffer speed would get cut in half.

Using an SD card and it's slower I/O speeds would meaningfully degrade the video and burst capability, blackout free still shooting of the camera, so might as well enforce a higher standard tk ensure a uniform experience.
- retcon 4y agoHeaven forefend that Nikon engineering chose the card format to match (exceed with headroom) the required transfer rate ;)
