Thank you for the replies. I’ve looked at the manual and there is no mention of UHS-II being necessary. I just trying to make sure I have the right cards for my holiday. May I also ask peoples opinions on 3rd party batteries? I’d love to be able to get genuine Sony ones but they are so expensive.

Good morning, I’ve just purchased a used Sony A9 for my upcoming safari holiday. Please can someone recommend what memory card I should get? I’ve seen that I could need a UHS-II card, is this correct? Second daft question; the camera has 2 card slots. Could I put a card with a faster upload...

Always wondered how you get a perfectly still tree yet blurred water. Now I know - I must try this

Thank you gramps. I’ve a memory like a sieve. I did read it before I clicked accept, but I couldn’t remember the specifics.

Hello, May I ask when a new member can view the classified forums? Thank you

The A9 is quite old. Is a second hand one still a better option than a newer A7 model?

I am taking a high end compact that I also have. 2nd body could be a great idea

I’m Sorry, my kit is a Sony A7ii and I have the 100-400mm GM lens and the 24-70mm GM lens. As for the type of safari I’m not 100% sure at the moment, I’m still awaiting the details. I’d assume it’s a few early morning and evening 4x4 rides through the national park.

Initially we are going to the Victoria falls, then down to Johannesburg to go on a 3 day game safari. It’s a holiday.

I have a 100-400mm GM and the 24-70mm GM. I don’t have a massive budget, but I’m will to spend a max of £1000

Hi everyone, I’ve finally come back to the forum as trying to rediscover my love of photography. Stu

Hello everyone, Rejoined this forum after a long absence. I’ve booked a holiday to South Africa in October so starting to look at my photography gear. I use Sony equipment. What sort of gear would you all recommend I take? I’m thinking of treating myself to an upgrade on my A7ii All advice...
