Sony a7III: Sony Shouldn’t Be Using a UHS-I Slot in 2018

Dan Watson filmed an interesting video showing the disadvantage of Sony’s current dual card slot configuration. While Sony cameras can be quick with a single UHS-II card once you decide to shoot with a backup card you might as well use UHS-I cards. The only time the situation gets a little better is when shooting RAW to the UHS-II card and JPG to the UHS-I card, but still Sony should have dual UHS-II cards slots in 2018. No one needs to use old media cards that Sony claims are compatible with the UHS-I slot.
