But I have a question about memory types.
It is my understanding that flash memory degrades over time with the
number of writes. I want to take pictures freely but do not want to
shell out money for new memory cards. How long do the memory cards
last?
The D300 accepts Microdrives and these, while mechanical and can
break
to not have this same limit. Additionally these eat up more power.
Anyone using the Microdrive or is everyone using flash?
CF cards typically use memory types rated for 10,000-100,000 writes
For the good CF cards 100K - 150K
per cell, and levelling algorithms that can increase that to
300,000-3,000,000 for the card as a whole.
I would think that is about right
The shutters in digital cameras are typically rated for
100,000-300,000 actuations.
The bottom line is that unless she's a pro shooting all day every day
she's not likely to wear out a CF card, and she'll wear out the camera
before she wears out a good quality CF card.
That is a *GOOD QUALITY CF CARD* not the cheapest one you can find on eBay
