Are you sure you're not being too rough with your cards? I've never had that problem with any of the dozen or so cards I own/have owned.
I know a lot of people say something like, "Memory cards shouldn't be so fragile! Just look at CF!", but really, I don't think one should treat any kind of digital memory roughly if one wants it to last. Besides, the male connectors for CF cards are more fragile than SD card bits. All it takes is for some dummy to put a CF card in the wrong way for a camera to be rendered useless. That's why most camera makers switched to SD. But I digress. Send your card to the manufacturer and see if they'll replace it under warranty.

Really REALLY HATE that. For the second time I've had the experience of changing cards and the *ist-Ds won't fire and displays the message, "Card is write protected" So I pop out the card and the damned tab is GONE. It never happens when you have time to try to fix the problem, always when it's your last card, (when else?). What is the damned point to this freaking throwback to 3 1/2 inch floppy disks anyway? Just a useless feature to go wrong and annoy me? </rant> Thanks for listening now back to our usual programing. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
