In contrast, reports of physical/electrical failures in SD card cameras and readers are surprisingly common.

If you bend or snap a pin, everything is ruined. I have had a reader that broke and caused me considerable grief, but I eventually recovered the files. SD cards have a sliding contact and there are no fine parts that can get bent or break. Marty On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 10:39 PM, J.
