I just had an sd card go bad for the first time ever. I use both slots on my D7000, so it was backed up. I have always taken my card out to download it, and this was probably what ruined the card. I am going to start downloading directly from the camera.
How can taking the card out to download it, ruin it? Unless you damage it physically in the process, they are very sturdy. Or in the transferring on the computer you accidentally delete stuff? Just wondering.

I use more CF than SD cards. Although I have not lost images from from either, it made me think about the longevity of same. Pretty sure I have a couple approaching 5 years. The newest, a CF card is 14 months old. I use Sandisk, Kingston, and Transcend. I have gotten into the habit within the last couple of years of writing the received dates on both cards and batteries as a reminder of how long they last. Overall, I feel fortunate to have had good luck with both. Credit to the manufacturer(s) of those products. Good post. Thanks.

I did.
Lost the ceremony photos from a wedding... gone! Pre-wedding photos and reception photos were all there. I never knew whether it was the card or a computer burp. Reclamation software saw but could not open the missing files.

I thought the OP asked for replies from members who have never lost anything.

SwedeUSA, it's time for someone to call you out. I just looked at page after page of your comments, mostly sarcastic and biting, but you've never started a post of your own, nor posted a photograph. You've never even posted an original thought about photography. Have you ever even taken a photograph? Why are you even on this site?

Never lost anything from SD or CF cards. I only use top quality cards and never small cards. Compromised large cards are frequently rebadged as smaller capacity storage.

So far so good! I make it a practice to leave the memory cards in both of my cameras. I simply download via usb at the end of each session.. That way there is little wear and tear on the contacts and less chance of bending or damaging them..

Never. Once my SD card got bent and I had difficulty inserting it in the slot, but even then it worked and I could transfer everything.

The only time I can recall losing content on a SD card was on a cruise when my camera (a small point and Shoot) was placed in my shirt pocket with a audio playback device. It wiped that card very effectively. Nothing but noise was left. Lesson learned!!!

When I first got my Nikon D90, around 2009-2010 I got a PNY SD card from wal-mart, and had no problem with it. One day out shooting birds and getting great shots I seen an ospray coming back to its nest. I decide to wait and see if I could shoot an image of him jumping out of the nest. So I put the camera in high speed continuous shooting mode. After about an hour that bird jumped out and I started shooting, that cheep card could not handle all those images at once and stopped working and lost every image I shot that day. Now I only shoot with SanDisk ultra 30MB/s class10 SDHC cards and have had no problems. Even so, sd cards can split and come apart, I had a SanDisk card do that. I took it back to best buy and they gave me a new one, at that time that card cost around $80 so I was very happy to get a new one!
