Magnetic tank bag bad for digi-cam?

[Varrus]

hey do you guys keep your digital cameras, including memory cards in your tank bags? wondering if the magnets will mess up the data?

thanks.

We have kept them in the tank bag with no problem at all. Both a Scan disk type card, and a Sony memory stick.

If your camera/mp3 player/pda/laptop/cellphone/etc. uses magnetic tape/discs (like a MiniDV casette or a harddrive like IBM/Hitachi microdrives/notebook ones) then you 'might' get a problem but it's unlikely
Basicly you'd have to wipe the drive/cassette against the magnets serveral times to even begin having an effect.
Harddrives esp. would probably break b/c of vibration first

If you're using an optical media (like some Sony's record on CDRW/DVDRW ) or memory cards there's no problem as neither are magnetically nor vibration sensetive.
