How much does cutting-edge AF matter? Watch Nikon

IOW: there are many things you can control and that includes choosing dual card cameras. Yes, but you focus on things which might actually happen. You don't walk around with a helmet to protect yourself against meteorites. bogus comparison. Anyway, to summarise it, in your opinion memory card failure is a significant risk, so significant that you need a camera with two slots. it is for some people. Personally, I choose a camera based on the features / specification I need, dual memory card slot not being one of them. choose whatever camera you want, just don't claim that there is no need for dual slots. |

In article , says... No. That's not what I said. I said it is not the best source. But it is a source. That's just a clickbait video which the author made to gather some hits. You obviously didn't watch it. 4,344 is a good sample set. The information content is minimal, it's like saying "things fail, and the more you use them, the more likely you are to experience a failure". That kind of statement can be made about everything. And as stated in that linked video where they sample many thousands of users there is a clear correlation: Shoot more photos : More chance of memory card failures. And how big exactly is that risk? If you'd watch the video you would know: Out 4344 photoraphers surveyed, 47% have had at least one memory card failure. People who have shot between 200 and 500 thousand photos had an even record of card failure. (ie: half of them had at least 1 card fail) People who have shot over 1M photos: 77% have had at least 1 card fail. It has nothing to do with camera brand and little to do with card brand and the 2 most popular (Sandisk/Lexar) have about the same rate of failure. Most people who have memory card failures replace them with a new card and keep going, it's mostly cards, not the cameras. And if the camera fails, that card will likely work in another camera. And again: it's not the camera brand that causes card failures. How do you know what causes failures? What for instance if the camera behaves in some unexpected way during the write process? Indeed. So pros mitigate that by using dual card systems so that single point of failure is removed. They also typically have 3 or more cameras with them (depending on the event) and protect against theft. Professionals strive to not be late. IOW: there are many things you can control and that includes choosing dual card cameras. Yes, but you focus on things which might actually happen. You don't walk around with a helmet to protect yourself against meteorites. Electronic failures are much more likely to occur than that. Making up poor examples to justify your position is pretty lame. Very lame. Not at all. You're just peddling to justify your opinion. I'm not sure what you mean with "peddle" - never heard this word before. Riding a bike. Peddling madly (face to the wind in this case) to make progress on something you know nothing about. Anyway, to summarise it, in your opinion memory card failure is a significant risk, so significant that you need a camera with two slots. Personally, I choose a camera based on the features / specification I need, dual memory card slot not being one of them. Of course. Two slot systems are for pros and people who value their efforts. So it would not apply to you at all. -- "...there are many humorous things in this world; among them the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages." -Samuel Clemens |

I read a bunch of reviews, and there seems to be a consensus that Lexar has turned to crap. Ownership change, or something. I was looking for a card at B&H, and Lexar had an unusually good deal. A quick glance at the reviews worried me, so I read a little deeper. Many complaints about card failures, or very slow read/write, and Lexar in general. |

There was also a serious Lexar counterfeit SD card issue via Amazon sales right at the time of the ownership change, and it is unclear whether, or not that has been solved.

I know that I’m avoiding them for now. |
