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?

    Photographic a multi-service member dignified body transfer. Camera failed just as the bodies were being removed from the helicopters.

    Thankfully I had two backup cameras and a bunch of extra cards. Only lost maybe a few seconds swapping out.
