Hi All,
For those of you who considered the Sony a1 vs Nikon Z9, was the type of memory card a factor in your decision? If you are now using the Sony a1, have you found the Type A card to be a limiting factor in any way (cost, memory size, speed)? Seems that the Type B cards for the Z9 are twice the memory capacity for roughly the same dollars (I only see 160GB and 80GB Type A cards available). I'm talking about top of the line Delkin Black or ProGrade Type B cards for the Z9. Probably depends on what you are shooting. For those shooting BIF or sports at 20FPS or 30FPS, is the 160GB capacity of the Type A an issue?
As background, I have a Z9 on order at three different vendors (one since early November) and an 800mm PF on order, but no word yet from any of them on the Z9. I'm not NPS. Currently using a D850 with 500mm PF for BIF. I may just rent a Sony a1, battery grip, and 200-600mm to see how the system feels and shoots. But I am concerned over the price of Type A cards and their limited capacity.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.
Jim
