The questions presumes the images were good in the first place, so if an
image is bad, one could always say my card ate the best part of it.

Life of the photos is directly proportional to the "cheese" factor.
More cheese = earlier death.

Seems fair.

I have heard talk about 10 years for flash memory to retain data.

You have to be careful extending the life though. Try too
hard and you get an "Out of Cheese" error and you're
stuffed.

I think the SD-card spec says 10 years iirc.
Not that anyone should try the roulette game.. ;)

I suspect the longetivity of the 10000'th write isn't the same as for the
10'th one. No bias in to either one.

If you write them to the media and leave it? A LONG time. If you're
constantly rewriting, it will wear out.

3 weeks, if you keep the cards in the fridge.
