Just curious to see if anyone’s ever had a catastrophic card failure that either cost them a job, or perhaps have been saved by that dual-SD card slot that so many cameras have these days.
Thinking about upgrading from an a57 (2012) to an a6700 (2023), but I’m seeing a lot of people complain about the lack of a dual-SD card slot. My a57 has never given me any kind of SD trouble and so I’m debating if I actually should listen to the complaints about the a6700.
Has new technology increased the frequency of card failures perhaps?
I’ve had cards fail in a dual card setup
But you do have to factor in that with a dual card setup you’re doubling your chances of seeing a failure in the first place :)
It’s obviously still well worth it imo (basically essential if pro), but the anecdotal stats can make it seem like cards fail all the time, when it’s actually still quite rare
I’ve never had a card fail, but I have had hard drives fail.
None, but I know a few who dropped theirs while taking it out the camera
