Just curious, but does anyone here have any insight as to why Fujifilm decided to use one of each (cfe-b + sd)? Why not just use two cfe-b cards?

I'll would speculate it was to ease the migration for owners of the current Fuji cameras, and may be a little bit about hitting a build cost.

I guess some Fuji users will want to take advantage of improved AF but don't necessarily need the deeper buffer or high-res video, and for them the SD cards they already have should be fine, at least initially?

The camera has already raised some eyebrows around cost, so having to add 1 or 2 CFe straight away might be too much for some people, or push them into a different budget-space where other brand cameras start too look more attractive.

It does mean though - I think - that if you want/need to get the best buffer depth, you are probably going to be to writing LL raw only to CFe, and your back-up will be the jpeg file on SD. Not perfect, it would be nice to have a backup of the raw, but good enough.
