If you have 2 card slots, use 'em! I don't have 2 card slots on every camera, but definitely use both on the cameras that do have 2.

I started shooting professionally with digital bodies beginning with the D30 (YIKES!) and my clients and I survived that and several succeeding bodies with only 1 card slot.  Before that, I lost many a roll of film to numerous causes (mostly mine).  I've had more camera or lens failures on jobs than I ever had with cards.

Would I like twin slots in the R?  Absolutely but it's not the end of the world.
