Nobody seems to take seriously the possibility that the A9II will have CFExpress card slots. Sony has released their CFExpress card and are using them in cinema products. Nikon is using them in the Z6 and Z7. Why not the A9II? Slow buffer clearing is one of my main gripes with the A9. A CFExpress card or two would would solve that nicely.

Agreed but from the leaked photo it is same body as A7R IV so I guess that rules that possibility out. Would at least help if they made an option to write every other file to each memory card in parallel, and give a bit of backup too.

Why? Does the a7RIV not have enough space for a CFExpress card and an SDII?
@ColinF, Yeah, I think you are right. I am looking at my A7R4 (I've had it for nearly 3 hours) and there is not enough space for 2 CFExpress cards. That would require 13mm more space and it's not there.
@randomguy, I don't think there is enough space for even one CFExpress in the vertical arrangement, and the photo showing the door makes it clear they are retaining the vertical arrangement. Sony will never split the card slots between two physically incompatible card types. As much as I would like to see a faster slot I would not want physically incompatible slots.
