Now you have me all curious and I am going to have to pull it out and read it. There is obviously a lot that I do not know!

For that reason I fill up chips and store them rather than download and clear them. No way the computer could go with me, the chips definitely could. And even with backed up computers, well, I know my chips still hold my pictures if back up fail. I buy quality sandisk, still cheaper than film and processing costs.<br />My camera manual stays in the camera case because my brain can not remember new tricks until I've tried them a few times.

But ...Geesh, you want me to find my camera manual? But I don't know where it is! Read it? Pshaw! It's on my to-do list, LOL! I'll just keep taking pictures in the meantime.<br /><br />Yes, one should reformat their cards on a regular basis. Move the pics over to your computer, then pop the little card back in the camera and reformat it. (AFTER checking that you copies over the pics OK first!) Once you make it a habit, it's no big deal.<br /><br />And yes, digital cards can go bad. They are no different that hard drives, which crash and burn every couple of years. So far, I've never had one go bad or fail (though one one retrieved from hubby's jeans in a hotel washer). It pays to have more than one card. Me? I have about a dozen cards, most of them 16GB or 8GB each. I can fill up those puppies in a hurry on a trip!<br /><br />Did you know that there are different class ratings of cards? Yes, ma'am. The most durable (and costly) are class 10. These usually have a lifetime warranty. The cheap digital cards that you get for little $s at mass-market places are usually class 2. What do I have? My inventory includes class 4 and class 6. I'd love for them to be class 10, but I'm not going to invest $1000+ in my digital card inventory!<br /><br />And while I am writing a dissertation on digital cards, I might as well tell you where I buy my cards: B&H Photo on the web (out of NY). May of their cards have free shipping. B&H prices are superb every day of the week. Service is impeccible. Lexar & SanDisk are the brands we buy.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-88492187648694299002011-03-12T14:27:42.416-05:002011-03-12T14:27:42.416-05:00I am definitely going to look into reformatting my...I am definitely going to look into reformatting my memory card - I think my photos have deteriorated and I can't figure out why.
