It would appear that Digital Media Cards are tough little things. Digital Camera Magazine have tested some of the most popular storage card formats and see how well they hold up to abuse.
According to BBC News Online They were dipped into cola, put through a washing machine, dunked in coffee, trampled by a skateboard, run over by a child’s toy car and given to a six-year-old boy to destroy… Perhaps surprisingly, all the cards survived these six tests.
Good news for me as I was only thinking about this the other day; with my holiday to the USA next month I was concerned that I didn’t want to lose my once-in-a-lifetime memories of California, Vegas and the Grand Canyon due to memory card failure!
