Digital Cameras/Recorders in the Aircraft Hold

Does anyone know please, as we now can carry no hand luggage onboard aircraft, if we take our digital camera and digital camcorder will they get damaged in the hold. I was thinking about the memory cards etc going though the scanners.

Thanks, we are flying (hopefully) tomorrow.

“Many are worried that the airport x-ray machine will damage their camera’s memory or the memory cards. So far, there is little proof that airport x-ray screening machines can damage your camera’s memory cards and images. The airlines often warn about damage to film from x-ray machines not digital media.

Rather than being worried about x-ray exposure, some believe that digital equipment are more affected by magnetic exposure, particularly to the magnetic hand-held wands and metal detectors.”

I recently flew with a number of camera memory cards in the hold and they were all perfectly fine, no data was lost at all.


Although I did try to use the camera on the plane and it seemed to respond VERY slowly to commands and the autofocus wouldn't work Is there a reson why this happened?
