I've used Sandisks for a few years and i've never had formatting or corruption problems. Amazon's the cheapest place to get them. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/cannon-and-cf-cards#post-98877 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:09:00 +0000 Desdemona 98877@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Make: Data<br /> <br /> and i think it came with the camera, so 1 year maybe.<br /> <br /> <br /> Hm, I have tryed to format the card with my camera, not worked.<br /> I have tryed to format the card with my computer, not worked. <br /> <br /> I'm guessing its the card not the camera. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_mad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:x&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; i had some great pics on there. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/cannon-and-cf-cards#post-98585 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:42:46 +0000 gjhsu 98585@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Also, how old is the CF card?<br /> <br /> Flash memory has a finite amount of times it can be written to before it goes bad. If it's an old card, it could just be going bad. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/cannon-and-cf-cards#post-98573 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:09:24 +0000 ClareBear 98573@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Card manufacturer? http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/cannon-and-cf-cards#post-98531 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:03:38 +0000 Desdemona 98531@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Nope. ]=<br /> <br /> it was working perfectly 2 mins before in the cam, taking pictures saving them.<br /> Plus i always upload my pics via camera. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/cannon-and-cf-cards#post-98463 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 09:52:47 +0000 ClareBear 98463@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ have you used it in a card reader (or any other device) as well?
