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 probably wouldn’t do a super important event with just a single card. I know some people do but imagine telling your client that. Yeah i COULD have got a pro grade camera with 2 slots, but i didn’t want to and now your wedding photos are gone.
I probably wouldn’t tackle a wedding without a dual slot primary body and a backup full frame body (rp or something
Ive had 1 card fail so far but it was only for test shots of my bedroom so nothing lost. Buy quality brands!
