30/10/2018 - Does anyone know when Sony will be releasing an update to fix the incompatibility of the latest SanDisk 128Gb Extreme Pro SD Cards in Slot 1 of the A7III???

Wow, Luckily I am using Sandisk 32GB exterme pro (298mbs) cards in slot 1 and they work perfectly - I did consider going with a larger card but am holding off due to this issue.

The 32GB does give me over 1000 images (only shoot Raw) and that is generally enough for what I need  and I do also carry a spare just in case.

Lets hope Sony can rectify the issue.

Please can we get Sony to release a firmware to correct this issue. Its affecting every new Sandisk Extrene pro card on all SOny Alpha Cameras ... especially A7iii, A7R3 and A9. The cards will work in slot 2 but not in Slot 1. Please please please Sony do something.

By the way its not just 128gb cards .. its happening on 64gb ones too ... I havent bought any new 32gb ones recently so cant comment on those.

Agreed, have exactly the same issue with a a7 iii and SanDisk 64GB

Sony Camera Firmware update v2.1 fixed the problem for me
