Re: Short view and long view on slots

Long term, I would want CFexpress cards in both slots of an R5.  Short term, I would like a CFExptress and UHD II SD card.  Depending on the impact of buffering shots to the drive.  I would like to write RAW to both files using one slot as my primary write drive and the second slot as a backup that I would pull and replace with a fresh card as needed to keep as a backup until I return home from my trip. The primary card would be a large capacity (256gb/512gb) that would always stay in the camera and be formatted when full - after verify the backup.  I would probably still use an external drive for a second backup.
