Hi.
I was wondering something that, honestly, I haven't test it yet. I couldn't find anything related to it on the internet, so I decided to ask this community.
Does anybody know if there is a difference wheter I use a faster card as a primary card and a slower one as a backup or the reverse, that is, the slower as primary and the faster as backup (on a "two-cards" camera)?
I'm curious about it.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.
I believe that the read/write speed of any dual card configuration is governed by the slowest card. So, if you use a fast card in slot one and a slow card as backup in slot two the camera will read and write at the speed of the slower card. But, I rarely use two cards so I could be in error. Perhaps one of the others who has more experience with this will jump in.

I have a two card camera, 750, and use the same speed card in both slots for the sake of simplicity. Haven't tried a faster/slower combination.
