Re: New Tests Show Memory Cards Safe In X-Rays
It can damage electronics as well, I guess they weren't trying very hard to kill the memory card. (Especially if they are fogging developed film).

Re: New Tests Show Memory Cards Safe In X-Rays
Actually I don't care so much about the memory, I'm more worried about any damage that could happen to my CCD! This was not tested... What a pitty. Rgds.

CCDs are damaged by X-rays, they bleach and suffer other problems, there is plenty of technical information on the web to confirm this. However information relative to airport x-ray systems and consumer DSLRs seems to be nil. I suppose it's much like film vs x-rays, despite the warnings and documentation there are still a lot of photographers out there who will swear that multiple x-ray passes had absolutely no effect on their exposed 800 ISO print films :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998

Even fairly high dose x-rays may cause no or imperceptable exposure on film that has not gone over the exposure threshold. William Robb
