Memory cards

[Chocky]

How long would you expect your memory card to last if you take 400 to 600 photos per day?

I know most are made to last 10years but I am using Samsung (cheapest) and am wondering if that many photos per day is shortening the life of the card?

My photos are no longer crystal clear even when fairly close

Not sure about the life cycle Beryl, but as it's digital information, a failing card will simply render corrupted data, images will not load, it won't affect focus or sharpness of image.

I've had one failure over the years, but as they're relatively cheap now, I'm not too bothered.

One of my cards failed last week. Several photos wouldn't show

I managed to retrieve them eventually I think I will invest in a couple of new cards this week end

Mind you I am a bit wobbly I guess. I have to have a major op on my knee so can't walk too well (ha ha and topple a bit) My lens has VR but even so it still could be I'm not too steady at the mo'

I have the same problem Beryl, find it difficult to take macro, as my hands shake too much.

Oh.right.
Yes of course the data is in binary so can't be focal probe's

My hands don't shake ................yet but I think t is me and also that all the birds are at the every tops of the trees.............too high

I bough a couple of new cards any how as one corrupted last week and now I don't know which one
Thanks for response .

I bought some new memory cards yesterday and to day I took 74 photos of my Baby Granddaughter running around in the park.
Every one was a winner . Excellent and sharp

So my other cards must have developed a fault
