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
