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?

    The more data you generate, the more failures you will have. I’ve generated about 100 TB in 20 years (photos and video). I have a card failure every year or two with professional grade cards. I insist on two card slots.
