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?

    2 sd cards died in about 15 years. Used like 20 different ones. One card died completely, second switched to read only state, but wrongly reported by other hw. It seems, like data beeing written, but they are not and only older data are there. Yeah, second slot saves lives.
