Canon EOS-1D X Mark II To Feature CFast & CF Slots [CR3]

We're told that the upcoming Canon EOS-1D X Mark II will feature one CFast slot and one CompactFlash slot. We had been told Canon was going back and forth on whether they would offer dual CFast slots or not. This will be a nice tradeoff for photographers, and they can upgrade to CFast on their own time, instead of having to go out and buy a bunch of new cards when the camera launches.

I'm hoping there is a good safety device that prevents CFast cards from being jammed into the CF card slot, or we may have a rash of bent pins in people's cameras. I'm sure Canon developers have already thought of this though.

I probably would have preferred dual CFast slots, but I may be in the minority.

More to come…
