Why do photographers lose photos in the field?

Hi Eucris,

Correct, the post was rapidly removed from Fred Miranda. I reached out to them but haven't heard back. Potentially it could have been a good forum for this. DPReview, that's weird - I couldn't find it either. I reached out to the admin who instructed me how to post. It was up for some time, but seems to have been removed now. Waiting for a response. Thanks for uncovering this! Regarding DIYhotography here is the link. I would not have imagined that getting community responses is the hardest part!!!! By the way, if you have ideas for additional forums that could help, please let me know!!!!

Thanks,

- Michel

I have done some research and the results are as follows:

DPReview: No trace of the OP or of his survey.
Fred Miranda: The post containing his survey has been deleted.
The Photo Forum: No activity against the OP’s account which suggests that the survey was deleted.

It’s good to be cautious, but my own checks were more positive. The DIYPhotography feature is still up, in particular. I also saw the search snippet from DPReview, though I’m not sure why the link is no longer working. Perhaps @NaturEye can clarify?
 
I have never had a card failure or lost image.
So what?
All systems and mechanisms have failures
How would this survey be able to distinguish between a card failure and a camera system failure.
For me at least failures are vanishingly rare, as to be disregarded in any practical sense.
That being so I can see no reason to take any special precautions against such losses, beyond not using very old or damaged card or a camera that that has proved unreliable in this regard. On cameras where it is possible to clean card connections it would be advisable to do so when necessary.

It is probably advisable to check satisfactory image writing to a card when inserted, though I suspect that cameras do this automatically when they are turned on, as when I have omitted to to replace a card it always reminds me of the fact.
