The Panasonic GX9 has a single SD card slot that fully supports UHS-I SD cards, that means you can’t get any extra write speed benefit from the UHS-II cards although they can be used in the GX9 in UHS-I mode at the fastest write speed of UHS-I card, and for still photography, 9 fps burst shooting and 4K video at 30 fps, the UHS-I SD card is already more than enough. So you don’t need to pay extra money on the UHS-II cards unless you require fast transfer speeds (read speeds) from your card to your computer.
