Trying to catch the autumn colours I have been out photographing quite a lot, but ........ my pics look so washed out. There are not the brilliant bright colours like I see on the trees.
Can it be that my memory card is overutilized? Can anything like this happen? I have photographed thousands of photos.
This year the colours are just spectacular and every time I download my pics, I'm faced with the colourless, tired pics.

It doesn't sound as though you have a problem with equipment. A failing memory card would give errors on your screen instead of photos
A faulty camera would also give other errors.
It actually seems like a white balance problem. The camera's auto white balance doesn't work in all situations. In the case of autumn pictures, possibly the sky was overcast too, this is a common case. Do you have other settings for white balance ? If so, try using the "cloudy" setting, that will warm up all the colours, or even the "shade" setting, which will warm them up even more. A little extra exposure would help too, try setting exposure compensation to +1
