This topic came up in a conversation on Jimrys 9 frames per second thread.

Thought it may be worth posting here.

Some cameras have issues with some Lexar Compact flash cards.

That would be a royal pain to pay that much for a camera and CF then have this happen. I would want to get my money back and wait out a new release.

Still find this strange Simon...have had no problems at all...I also understand its when you shoot in RAW+JPEG (high image quality)" mode...seems the buffer cannot keep up.

it's better to get an official statement from your camera maker which CF cards are accepted by which modell - a real story alone for Fujifilm models, so I guess the others are not better due to the fairly open CF specifications; I have no final opinion yet but I'm using exclusively Microdrives (1 , 2, and 4 GB) exclusively from IBM or Hitachi (for the same reason as for CF, Magicstor is again a different story)...

Jim Canon has stated that this may occur under a certain set of circumstances, and only isolated cases. It is more of a case that this CAN happen rather than this WIll happen. My friend that also has a D1 Mk 2 uses the x80 cards he shoots commercially (1000s of images a week) RAW + Large JPG and he has not had any problems either. Some of the issues are not all with Canon cameras and it can happen with any brand of camera. I have only seen this issue in relation to Lexar x80 cards. As with all technology there are no absolutes. Slightly different situation, but I had a MSI mobo and MSI graphics card that would not work together.

I think that Lost Patrol put it best. "It CAN happen rather than WILL happen." Everyone I work with has not seen anyone with this problem at all & we sell the Canons and the Lexars. These are very rare & isolated occurences (across the country) and not widespread. Also- there is an element of Human Error here- many people cant seem to wait for the larger images or series of images to load before trying to do something else. That is when problems occur. Remember- the "processor" in a camera can only do so much so fast.
