The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

Ok cheers, I’ll go ahead and try that one then.

I’ve just seen on eBay, the ‘official’ Pergear account is selling 2 256GB cards for £185 delivered which seems very good but they’re coming from China so I won’t know if they’re fakes or not.
I have the Lexar which is pretty fast, guess it depends how many shots you download. Free returns if too slow and its £36 :)

Edit hmm the Pergear does seem to be pretty quick

But so is unmatched card slots in cameras like R5 or Z8. Plus you get limited by the speed of the slower SD card slots if you want to shoot to both cards. Plus you're are having to deal with two different types of cards.

Considering we are already spending multiple 1000s on the body an extra £100 on cards is less of an annoyance to me compared to the alternative

It's the same with the A7iv/v - and since I use dual slots to provide redundancy (IE Writing the same to both in parallel) I just use 2xSD, which means I'm paying for a CfA slot I'm not using.
I'd much rather they made the camera a little extra, but gave matched CfA slots so everyone had the choice of how to use them - it's not like anyone is going to get an A1/A7R rather than an A7 becasue of it, so there's no benefit to Sony in not having matched slots.
