No. You are comparing 2 different systems.You have an option: Buy the 1DX III and let us who are less extreme enjoy the R5 which offers options instead of extremes.

For me, the only use of 2 cards is to shoot the same data on both cards. Insurance against card failure. I have been burnt before and will work only with cameras with 2 card slots and record identical information on both. I learn lessons and do not repeat my mistakes.
C-Fast failed. In Jerusalem. I was shooting an assignment on 1dx2. I realized at 4 pm that the card was not working. I was to film the next day. You have no idea how I managed to get a replacement. I had to have a photographer drive from Telaviv to get me his card. It was a rough rough evening.Have you had a SD UHS-II card fail?
You didn't need a failure to desire a system with a backup for redundancy to have peace of mind. I could use a single slot body, I don't NEED two slots but I have them and use them creatively, not for work/insurance/security. But I would not begrudge anyone who desires such a plan. It's silly to try and find holes in anyone's workflow. Do we all have to be the same? Please god no.C-Fast failed. In Jerusalem. I was shooting an assignment on 1dx2.

And what a chore that is.Because with the slower SD installed and the CFexpress also, max speed equals to that of the slower card. One will never get dual CFexpress bus speed. Thus one would have to remove the SD card for that CFexpress bus speed
Please point where I put down anyone's plan? Where did I find a hole in anyone's workflow? LOL.You didn't need a failure to desire a system with a backup for redundancy to have peace of mind.

Never once in using the 5D3 for almost 8 years did I have issues or even think about having mixed slots. I truly love the problems of being a stills shooter over myriad of issues video people have. We win.
I was agreeing with you, I understand how responses to posts are typically argumentative in nature (as yours mistakenly was) I guess I did not write my feelings clear enough to convey the meaning. I apologize.Please point where I put down anyone's plan? Where did I find a hole in anyone's workflow? LOL.
It's ok! It is the internet...I was agreeing with you, I understand how responses to posts are typically argumentative in nature (as yours mistakenly was) I guess I did not write my feelings clear enough to convey the meaning. I apologize.
I was being a bit sarcastic. I thought my point was crystal clear and that you should have picked up immediately that I was on your side of the discussion and just adding to it. But as with the internet you never know about context/inflection or if it is someone's 1st or other language. The problem with a keyboard? No gesticulation. Good night.It's ok! It is the internet...

Maybe a grip with 8 card slots of various types! (Except Memory Stick of course) lol.Stupid Canon! They should have included 2 UHS-ll slots and 2 CFExpress slots for redumbnancy...
Yep, I was talking about my own workflow, my point was, everyone needs different setup, e.g. raw+jpeg or raw+raw etc.But I understand what you are saying, and if you dont make photojournalism, sports or that wedding services, so it´s a good idea to shoot raw to both cards. We never know....
SD is not going to let you pull off 12/20 FPS 40+ MP/s. It's also going to greatly slow down dumping the data onto you computer.
1gbs per channel write speed for CFexpress
640mbs for gen 2 UHS II Write speed. The camera will write at max speed of the slower slot if used togerher. Has been always the case.
