Good news: Sony A9 buffer unload time is 36 seconds and not 2 minutes
The reviewers of the Sony A9 found that the weakest point of the A9 is the buffer unload time of 2 minutes. But there is good news. There seems to be a bug on the A9 (that will be fixed). And if you unload all pics on the faster UHS-II card it will take 36 seconds “only”. In my opinion 36 seconds is still too much but the good news is that we can expect this time to be reduced with the use of future faster SD cards.
The current world’s fastest cards are the ones from the Sony SF-G series:
