I recently had a bad experience with my last camera getting wet due to a slightly opened water bottle in my bag. It was so corroded that repairs were impossible. Now, I have a new camera and I'm thinking about using the SD card from my old one. My question is, can corrosion from the old SD card transfer to the new camera? The SD card seems to be working fine and doesn't look rusty at all, but I'm concerned it might still affect the new device, especially since it was quite an investment. I'd really appreciate any insights on this!

If your SD card doesn't show any visible rust, you should be in the clear! Rust typically affects metals, and if it were rusty, you’d likely be able to see it on the card. As far as corrosion transferring to your new camera goes, it's unlikely. Just keep an eye on it and you'll probably be fine! Good luck with your new camera!
Honestly, it seems like a stretch to worry about the SD card causing issues with your new camera. SD cards generally have a bit of protection, and if you don't see any rust or damage on the outside, you're probably okay. Plus, these cards are made to endure a lot more than we think. Just keep it clean!
Totally get your concern! It’s smart to be cautious. Just a tip: make sure to keep the SD card dry and away from moisture, since that's what started the trouble last time. But as long as you don't see visible damage, using it in your new camera should be fine. Happy shooting!
