1 TB SD Card?

With a 128gb sd card running around $140, I can imagine a 1tb card setting a person back about $500.

Assuming you have a 1TB card in your camera, having it go bad, even when it is only half full, could ruin your day. Imagine the upload times and the huge amount of processing you would have in store for yourself.

Of course that makes the assumption that your camera will recognize a card of that capacity. I once had an old Olympus that took smart media cards (remember those), I bought a new larger card and the camera couldn't read it, it exceeded it's capacity. I think it was something massive, like 16mB. :D

I'm too much in the habit of misplacing SD cards to even consider a 1 TB card. Besides, just filling up an 8 GB card takes me forever.
For the same reason, I wouldn't want to have a $10,000 dollar bill - too easy to lose.

Don't think you'll see a 1 terabyte SD card for a while, but not sure why anyone would need it in a camera currently unless you were shooting a lot, and I mean a lot of video. Around 50 hours of HD video, give or take, would fit on a 1 terabyte SD card. As far as photos are concerned, even if you are shooting RAW and have a 36MP sensor like the D800 you could get somewhere between 15,000 to 20,000 images on one card. If you shoot large JPEG on an 18MP camera you could get...wait for it...around 75,000 - 100,000 images on a single 1TB SD card. A bit of overkill, don't you think?

It sounds like a product without a market.

Well, not for the current crop of cameras anyway. Now, in a few years if they come up with a 100MP camera sensor it might start to make sense. You would be able to get perhaps 4000 or 5000 RAW images on a 1 TB card at that resolution.

Got over the problem of misplaced SD cards , bought a specially designed storage unit and lost that .

Jerry,
Considering the present 32nm and .25 micron design rules for making silicon devices, the fault rate for defects in such large devices would prove to be tremendous and therefore unpractical. Device yields per wafer for practical and cost effective chips attempt to exceed 80% but such large devices would bring yield numbers to significantly well below that. Until there is a quantum leap in photo-lithography enabling the shrinking of circuit sizes, I'm afraid that any economical 1 TB SD card memory is just pipe dreams. Besides, many cameras can't even take the present 64 and 128 GB devices and the loss of data when one fails would be horrific for the user.

I have trouble finding stuff on 16GB cards !!! how on earth would I cope with a TB .

I use 32 gig SD cards and I don't thing I have ever filled one in a day, maybe a sports shooter with one of these new sensors you her about that will be 50 plus MP. The sigma is 45 mp
But I am a boring landscape guy for the most part.

1tb? geeze
I long for 2gb cards. I had a 1gb cf corrupt a few yrs back, I was able to recover the images, it only cost me $50 and 8 hrs of sorting images, the program recovered every image i had ever taken on that card! and yes it had been formatted in the camera each time.
I don't like having in put all my eggs in one basket. once burned twice shy.
With 2 16 gb sd cards in my D7100 one is used for the days shooting, after transferring image to my computer it is formatted in camera the second is set to backup, will see how long it take to fill it.

1. Because they've been working on it forever is not a sign of progress. Alchemists have been working on converting lead economically into gold for centuries...
2. Dual slots in our cameras and frequent downloads protect against failures.
3. I'd love to have a HUGE dual (permanent?) memory in my camera, with easy automatic backup.
4. Prediction: Before the end of this decade :-)

I would be paranoid to have a card with that much storage. I certainly would never let it fill up, so for the present time, 32 gig limit for me.

I use a 4gb and 8gb CF card with my Nikon D200. They are fast and I have never bent a pin on the camera or reader. They card larger and not so easy to lose.

Not that I had ever considered the D800, but the CF card would have me looking elsewhere.
