With my D70 I used always take the CF card out of the camera and connect to a card reader. After several years I was encountering pin seating problems, not always but sometimes. <BR/><BR/>With my new camera I resolved to almost never take the card out of the camera (8GB) and use the PC transfer function to download my images. This does use battery life and therefore I guess will shorten the length of my batteries.<BR/><BR/>I also reformat my card after every download. The 40 CF card just seem more prone to failure with its tiny pins. The types with its large tabs will probably never mechanically fail. This is the reason SD type cards are so cheap . Easier to make.<BR/><BR/>Niels HenriksenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274220270319377409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-59059382253287643672008-03-29T18:26:00.000-06:002008-03-29T18:26:00.000-06:00Indeed, cards are too cheap to keep a possibly bog...Indeed, cards are too cheap to keep a possibly bogus one around. I too give cards a one-time pass. But when they act up again, out they go. Same thing for card readers.James Duncan Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555264298514670915noreply@blogger.com
