Sorry to hear that Greg, you are not alone I did that too, just think tomorrow is another day, I am sure you will not forget it again.

Yeah, it was disappointing. So were the pics. I'm not sure I'll post any of them or not.

Set your camera up so it won't release without a card in the future. Many cameras have that menu option. Good luck.

It's on the short list--like at the top. Thanx.

Got a good tip from one of the popular authors: Leave the mem card door open after you remove a card from a camera body. Do not close it until you replace the card.

Or replace it immediately with a fresh formatted card once you remove the card to upload your images. Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but leaving fragile memory doors open could also lead to it's own form of disappointment.

Even my T3 with some key features missing has this feature.

My Nikon tells me when there is no card in the camera. And further, I always make it a habit to look at the first shot. Just habit. And further, I always keep a spare card in the glove compartment just in case. And further, my wife knows to ask me one important question in the morning, it is only a one word question, "card?". And then off we go to Florida's wildlife preserves.

When I remove a card from a camera, the first thing I do is replace it and format the replacement. That gives me time to download and back up the files before I use the card again.

I started doing that years ago after doing exactly what you did today. I always remember doing it, but no longer remember what shots I missed, so nothing lost.

I have my cameras set to notify me a card isn't in the camera, and I format the card before I start shooting....just a habit.....

I have multiple cards. When I take one out I put an empty one in the camera. This happpened to me on several occasions and I came up with a way to never have to worry about it.

We’ve all done it one time or another. If it isn’t a missing SD card it’s a dead battery or missing battery.

How do you take shots without a card!!!!!!!!
Set your camera to NOT shoot without a card.
Can't believe this.
Camera says no card in the viewfinder as well, or should.
