Nonsense, CompactFlash cards are among the most rugged things in photography.

Didn't you ever read about the photojournalist that the World Trade Center fell on? His CF card was the only thing undamaged and it held all his photos. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0111/images/biggartgear.jpg&imgrefurl=http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0111/biggart_intro.htm&h=305&w=400&sz=28&hl=en&start=5&um=1&tbnid=whxNHoO_wvvNRM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcompactflash%2B%2522world%2Btrade%2522%26svnum%3D100%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

..or the reports of no photos lost after running a CF card through a washing machine?

Mr. Bill

Mr Bill,

Interesting that you should bring up Bill Biggart and his EOS D30 and CF card.. This weekend I was going through my collection of magazines trying to decide which would be kept and which would be given new life at the recycler when I came across the January/February 2002 issue of American PHOTO with a cover photo of Bill's D30 and the article you gave us the link to.

Bill, and his digital gear were tough stuff.......

Bob
