Hey i just ordered an R5C! Now i need memory cards. I understand it has one slot for CFExpress and one normal SD card. I intend to buy an Angelbird 512mb Cfexpress card for one slot which will only be used for 8k video. The other slot i will use only for photos (i only do timelapses so no need for fast burst speeds or anything). So my question is can i use these SD cards as I already have 6 of them so would be good to be able to keep using them

SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB SDXC Memory Card up to 170MB/s, UHS-1, Class 10, U3, V30

No real need to separate the two. I’d just dump everything to the nice fast CFe card (my personal pref is the Sony Tough).

hey thanks i will need to seperate the two as Im planning on using the camera on a trip soon and im certain i will fill the 512mb cfexpress with just 8k video so i will need to use SD cards for any photos i take. and as i already have 6 of the old ones im hoping i can use them

Just remember that if you're ever writing to the two cards simultaneously, the camera defaults to the speed of the slower card.

I don't know if there are any caveats with writing separately (if both cards are installed).
