Just out of curiosity. As someone who only needs high burst in JPG and can work sufficiently with UHS-ii cards, what is the cheapest/smallest CF card you could use on the X-H2S purely for redundancy purposes?

I ended up purchasing this one.

I haven't received it yet, so I can't confirm that it works, but it appears to be listed on Fujifilm's own site as compatible.

Seems like if you poke around a little you'll find no shortage of reviews on that card that claim it fails after very little time. Just an FYI

Good point. I noticed it has a 3-year warranty. I figured that after 3 years, these cards will probably cost $50, so the replacement cost will likely be significantly lower.

I realize this is a strange way to justify the purchase, but I'm running out of money after preordering the X-H2S + 150-600 lens.

Edited to add: I plan on using the X-H2S in "backup" mode, where I can take the images from the SD card if the CFE-b card fails.
