Thanks for all the input. I just ordered a Lexar UHS-II 64GB card to see how it performs. If it does well, I will buy 128GB versions. Reviews on Amazon were very favorable.
V60 is the rating, am unsure if I will benefit from that speed, but oh well. I will have my older SanDisk cards with me as well
V60 should be fine for the UHS-II slot. You don't need that fast for a UHS-I slot but it is nice to have interchangeable cards if needed.
I have used San Disk cards for Nikon and Olympus forever and at first with my new A73 purchased 8 months ago. Never a problem until the A73, as it was having issues with the newer (late 2018) San Disk 128GB and 64GB cards. Contacted both Sony and San Disk and they pointed the finger at the other one. Anyway Sony finally fixed it in a FW update in Dec last year. But in the meantime I bought 2 sets of the Sony M 128GB and 64GB UHS-II cards, the 128 for raw in slot 1 and the 64 for jpeg in slot 2. Have worked flawlessly for 6 months and about 6,000 photos until last Saturday morning. I had updated the FW to V3.01 Friday night and Saturday I kept getting write errors that I had never seen before. Since I didn't want to lose the photos I had already taken, I put in the 2nd set of cards, formatted them and continued on with about 700 photos that day with no more warnings. When I got home I downloaded the original set and got the photos, then reformatted, and they now work fine. Sony is definitely picker about media cards than any of my 6 Nikons, 3 Olympus or Pany G9 bodies.
