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’m just an amateur photographer and tech tinkerer. I’ve never had the CompactFlash cards have any issues in my camera. I have had multiple microSD card failures, and not from no-name brands either, the ‘pro’ or ‘extreme’ versions of sd cards.

    My most recent camera has dual SD Card slots so I’m going to write copies of the image to both cards, I’d don’t work professionally, but I’d still hate to lose some of my shots.
