I'd add three points to it: 1) To help prevent accidental erasures, make a back-up of the card as soon as you can. Don't rely on your computer's hard disk, use an external one *and* burn an optical disk. Paranoid, I know, but effective 2) To transfer images from the card, take it out of the camera and use a card reader (not the cable supplied with it), which lessens wear and tear on the camera's read-write functions and is faster and more reliable 3) The best way to erase data from a card you want to sell is a multipass low-level format, which is usually beyond most people's resources (specialist software required). A less secure approach is to format the disk in Windows imaking sure the 'quick format' option is unchecked. The disk utility in Mac OS 10.5 offers the same feature. www.photoblog.com/revenant Very interesting post and I’m sure it will be a godsend for many people. I’d add three points to it:

Eventually I'd like to have multiple posts per day on PetaPixel, but I'm starting off with something I can hopefully sustain. There's going to soon be a more diverse mix of content (i.e. giveaways, interviews, etc...), so there might be a little more activity then. Hi Joakim,

Thanks for the comment. Eventually I’d like to have multiple posts per day on PetaPixel, but I’m starting off with something I can hopefully sustain. There’s going to soon be a more diverse mix of content (i.e. giveaways, interviews, etc…), so there might be a little more activity then.
