How Fast is it Nik? Thinking about it, if you had the CF to collect RAW while at the same time the SD captured medium/low Res straight to an iPad then it might be quite useful.

The only potential issue I can see of having different image type/qualities writing to the individual cards is that according to the camera manual when you do this it will write them both at the speed of the slowest one. I suppose the question is how long it will take to write the RAW data to the CF card. Most of the time this won't matter but if there is a difference it may have some affect on continuous shooting or even single shot where you are trying to shoot quickly i.e. sports or action work. Boy has a rugby match on Sunday so will experiment then.

Shot 300 odd photos this morning at Joe's game. RAW data to CF card and the highest JPG quality to the SD card with no noticeable lag.
