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

This page has all the relevant data: https://cam.start.canon/en/C003/manual/html/UG-09_Reference_0100.html#Reference_0100_4

If you're not shooting bursts your current SD cards will be 100% fine. Even if you do shoot bursts, you will be able to shoot at full speed until the buffer fills - the only penalty will be a long wait for the buffer to clear for the next shot/burst.

My worry would be that if you specifically want to shoot 8K video, one 512 MB CFexpress card might not be enough. Again the above link has the data.
