Haven't seen the video but I can't help being a bit cynical about this... Seems a very convenient topical way to bring traffic to your channel.
WHAT? The X-T1 has a single card slot???? I'm very disappointed with........ Oh wait.. the X-T1 .. Oh that's 2 generations ago.Then why not their Nikon Z6/7 video, why not the A7R2 video? why not the X-T1 video?
It's fine, Tony will have a book on the camera out next week
Given he hasn't written any other camera books, why should he suddenly bring out one for this camera. Or am I missing some sort of in-joke?

A fair bit of dislike for Tony with some

True, but it doesn't explain the book comment
The fact he writes photography books at all is the joke. He may not write camera specific books but he does tutorials on them, which isn't all that different, after sending no more than a week with them
Then why not their Nikon Z6/7 video, why not the A7R2 video? why not the X-T1 video?
Surely he could have just used the 2nd card slot?
That's why I think this whole two card slot thing is silly. I want a camera which has a WiFi or Bluetooth or whatever connection to the second camera body, which just gets the sensor readout and processes and stores it independently. I absolutely would never shoot a wedding without that kind of security. Two card slots is just a superstitious security blanket.Now, I completely foxed here!
How come the SD card failed and yet we have the all the Video data from before the failure? And.... how come two (three?) other SD cards failed subsequently?
To my mind that's a camera failure and having two card slots may not have helped at all.

Loving the reasons and excuses around this SD failure.... lol
Bottom line, 2 SD card slots are better than 1.
Ouch!
Do many dual card slot cameras actually allow video to both cards anyway? I'm not sure any of mine have ever allowed for that but must admit, I've never given it much attention.
early 1 card is a weak point and proven so.
Correct!
Individuals can defend Canon's decision to go with a single SD card all they want, bottom line is that it was a cheapskate cost cutting and marketing exercise.
Canon R "consumer body, professional price"
lol ermmmMaybe not just cost cutting.
Adding a second slot means either adding the data bandwidth to write to both simultaneously (and we've had enough discussions on having two slots with different specs to know that in many cases manufacturers don't do this), or slowing the camera to write to one then the other.
And I'm not sure Canon woudl want to add something that might slow their headline grabbing FPS...
I remember the days when Sony used to get heavily citizen for only having a single card slot.... time for Canon to face the same music.
It could have easily been avoided, 2 card slots are better than 1 in my eyes.
As for the SD card slots - no Pro camera should only have one slot.

It's not silly, its better to have 2 card slots than 1. Canon have failed and now this video makes it even more apparent. Maybe it the body was priced accordingly to its actual specifications some may overlook the lack of second card slot.That's why I think this whole two card slot thing is silly.

I think most of you are missing the point!
The card couldn't have failed as the video is there for us all to see (prior to there being no record). Subsequently 2 or 3 more SD cards didn't record. To my mind that points to the recording/writing algorithms of the camera. In this case it wouldn't have written to any other slot either 2x, 3x etc.
How many of us have had three or more cards fail simultaneously?
What is not recorded for us in this dubious review is how Canon managed to fix it! (It is noted there was a Canon 'minder' with them) Did they have a continuous supply of SD cards. Is it a bit like having fuses fail and keep changing them until one holds?
There is a whole part to this story which is not being told! (Unless I've missed something)

I have to agree.That's the thing with both the Canon and the Nikon cameras. They're both fine cameras, just overpriced for what they are compared to Sony.
I think you'd have to be die hard fan boy to buy either the Canon or Nikon over the Sony if you wanted full frame mirrorless.

Exactly, there's not much point in wearing a belt and braces if a bulldog has just ripped the backside out of your trousers!
