Two CFexpress cards all the way. Especially for those that want to write raws simultaneously for redundancy. I would never want to write to a single card anymore. Especially after having a lexar card fail on me recently. I guess once bitten twice shy?

that said having one fast and one slow card sucks. That most likely Means you’ll be limited to the speed of the slowest card when writing raws to both. On the Sony it’s super annoying in that you can’t review pictures, change settings etc until the buffers are cleared. I don’t know how the canon behaves. If it’s like the former then the faster the card the better.

The way I see Canon do it, the lower "crippled" $1400~$2000 (your RP and R) bodies will get single SD, the middle tier $3k-$4k bodies (R5 and R6) will get CFexpress + SD, and only the very top flagship, the eventual successor to the 1Dx will get double CFexpress.

Well gee, that was an easy prediction for the R and the RP. BTW do you drive  a "crippled" car or do insist on only the flagship of the Mercedes line? I guess other than tents and sleeping bags just about everything I own must be crippled somehow.
