I have had great luck using a couple of brands of medium quality 256GB SD cards, 70MB/sec read/write speed in my X-H1 and X-T2.

If I upgrade to an X-H2S, will I have any issues with continuing to use these until the CF Express cards come down in price?

I am just a stills photographer. No video usage.

The only issue I've had with the SD cards is that occasionally, I will run out of buffer space on the X-H1 or X-T2 and so shooting speeds slow to a crawl.

My understanding is that there is now a huge buffer with the X-H2S and so this should not be a problem. Is this right?

Are there over 100 shots of JPG+RAW that I can shoot before I fill the buffer on an X-H2S? If that's the case, I won't run out.

You are planning on buying a top-flight camera with a significant price tag and are seemingly unwilling to invest in either CF Express cards or the highest speed SD cards which are best suited to its capability. Interesting choice.
