A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

What are the chances a corrupted memory card corrupts again? (alien.top)

Hey I have a sandisk 512gb card that I’m currently running through disk drill to recover what was on it. But I was wondering if anyone has info on, once I format it to reuse, if the chances of corruption rise because of what happened prior. If anyone has any info or suggestions that would be great. Thanks!!

I won't reuse any card that's been corrupted. I also don't use large cards either. Max I use is a 32 gb card on my still cameras. I usually won't put more than 40 images either. I come from film-based photography back in the early 70s. I have no problem loading another card.

I've known too many colleagues committing hundreds of images on a card only to get fucked with a corrupted card. A 24-70 on one camera and a 70-200 on the second camera works fine for me.

On my video no more than a 32gb card which gives me about 30 minutes at 4:2:2 1080 24P. I use 8 and 16gb cards the most for my video.
