Corrupt Media Card And Lost Photos

It would be extremely difficult to make a good estimate of how many digital pictures are taken each year

. Digital cameras are so easy to use and the digital media cards have such a large capacity that the number is probably in the millions or even billions. A quick survey of this author"s collection revealed well over 20,000 digital photos residing on the computer"s hard drive. These photos were taken over the last three years and the estimated total did not include photos that had been archived on an external drive. Those photos date back almost a decade. Additionally, there are at least 30 more photographs that haven"t been downloaded yet, all taken within the last two week.

Stop to consider that the average family of four probably has at least four cameras. We must include phones that are integrated into modern cell phones and smartphones. Most new models include the capability to use digital card media to increase the capacity of the phone. Furthermore, the same family may have at least one dedicated digital camera.

While recreational use of digital photography is certainly widespread, business and governmental agencies also employ thousands of digital cameras. The newspaper and magazine photo-journalist is more likely to use a digital SLR than an old-school film camera. Photographers at sporting events benefit from the quick reflexes of modern digital cameras. It would be safe to say that hundreds of photos are taken at football and other sports event each week.

Suffice it to say that digital photography and the large-capacity digital media card have made it easy to record our daily activities. Film photography was more expensive; therefore, it was normally reserved for special occasions and important business use. It"s interesting to note that Kodak actually developed the first digital cameras. However, the venerable icon of the "Kodachrome" age did not really embrace the technology until fairly recently. Now that film cameras are ending up in more museums than households, they are struggling to gain back their piece of the photography pie.

So it would be safe to say that millions or perhaps, billions of digital photos are taken each year. Computer hard drives are filled with digital representations of our families, friends and business dealings. However, it would be wise to remember that all things fail, even modern, worry free technologies. A corrupted digital media card could literally render hundreds of memories inaccessible. Couple with that the fact that accidental deletion or card formatting erases thousands of photos before they are downloaded, and you can see the potential danger of digital photography.

Even so, file recovery software can often retrieve missing photos from digital media. Furthermore, photos can also become inaccessible on computer hard drives. Hard drive data recovery can sometimes be accomplished through software that is designed to retrieve digital images. Physically damaged drives will need to be taken to a professional lab for hard disk recovery, however.
