What would you want CFexpress or SD cards for the next batch of Cameras?

SD for me. Every camera I own uses them and I have no desire for adding another card type. Nikon probably lost out on a potential customer by ONLY using XQD cards in the Z cameras. I was initially favoring them over an R even though I had EF lenses already. I do no photography that cannot be handled by a SD card so why would I want to needlessly complicate my life? Hope Canon realizes this.

I agree with you because I don't use video, just stills. But for the 8K video it may require much faster cards that can't be achieved with todays SD cards. I'm suspecting we will see Cfexpress needed because of that. They are crazy expensive but so was SD at one time. As they become more popular the price will drop. I have only 2 cards I carry with me for my R, a 128gb in camera and a 64gb as backup. The 128gb holds over a 1000 RAWs, I'll never shoot that without a chance to off load the card to my locals and cloud. So if the R having 2 slots, I would buy 2 large cards and set camera to record to both cards in RAW so I have a built in backup. Thats what I did with my 5D3.

If the rumor mill is to be believed, the R5 will have one of each:

I guess one possibility for still shooters who want to use two slots for mission critical applications would be to buy one high capacity CFE card and leave it in the camera mostly, using their existing collection of SD's for transfer. If this is the arrangement that we get, I am interested in how people will use it.
