One of the things that’s been on my mind is the durability of the memory cards and cameras, considering how many time we may want to plug/unplug them. Working in the electronics industry I’ve always been aware of connector mating life cycles. So I did a little digging.
From the survey of about 5-6 connector manufacturers the life cycle of a Compact Flash card connector is between 5,000 and 10,000 mating cycles.
For the USB connector on the camera, survey said typically 5,000 although one company stated only 1500.
My calculator tells me there will be a new camera on the market that I’ll have to have before the connectors wear out.
