Or you could just back things up regularly.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoIts not about backup. Its about environmental stress. Photos are taken all over the place - yards, beaches, malls, in good weather and bad. SD cards are fragile. Its about, If you spend a day shooting and one of them doesn't make it back to the studio, how much have you lost?
- georgemcbay 12y ago"SD cards are fragile" Are they, though? Because I use SD cards for photography and have for quite a few years and I take them not only to yards and beaches, but mountain peaks, spelunking in mud caves out in the desert, etc, and I have never had an SD card break on me either physically or in terms of data loss. To be fair, though, for photos only (no video) even with high-res uncompressed RAW photos I can't imagine anyone practically needing SD cards anywhere near the 512 GB size. That's a lot of photos... YMMV, I guess, maybe I'm totally lucky, but I have yet to personally have an incident which makes me worry about the robustness of decent quality SD cards.
- pessimizer 12y agoWith your magic instant remote backup machine?
- TillE 12y agoSpecial SD cards with built-in wifi have been around for a while. That's pretty magical.
- jonknee 12y agoSure... http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Portable-Wireless-External-Smartphone/dp/B00EP13JBC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410536260&sr=8-1&keywords=sd+backup http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Portable-Wireless-External-Sm... I mean it does cost $35, but it's pretty much exactly a magic remote backup machine (that can also charge your gear!). Or you can spend more cash and get one with an integrated hard drive and need no other devices.
