Yup. Tried that (nervously) after thinking that might dope-slap
If it were mine, I'd send the camera to Pentax for repair. Although you might
try taking the batteries out for a day or so. That can sometimes cure flakey
behavior. But I'll bet you have a hardware problem.

One of the SD cards I use in my DS is a Sandisk Ultra II. I've had it
for more than a year and it has worked flawlessly. As Boris said, there
are some fake Sandisk cards floating around. I hope it isn't a problem
with the camera as someone suggested, it would be much worse.

My DS had a problem with SanDisk cards too, although they worked in
the camera, I was unable to read them in my USB card reader.
I thought the first card was a dud so I got it replaced, same problem
with the new one, however.
Changed to a Kingston card that worked fine.

Charles,
You received plenty of responses.
To add to the statistics:
I've been using my DS with exactly that card, Sandisk Ultra II, 1GB
since its purchase in summer of 2005. So, more than 5000 shots are
on this card. I am using almost exclusively raw format. Most of the
time I have the camera
I'm using Ultra II 2 gig cards in my DS and so far I've had no problems
with them.

I thought I had a bum card, which I've started the RMA process on. In
the interim I bought ANOTHER Sandisk UltraII (different store,

getting the same annoying behavior.

Did that.
Even MAC formatted them on the computer and tested there before
putting 'em back into the camera and formatting - again.
Thanks, though.

Does anyone here use Sandisk UltraII 1gig cards in their DS

On the other hand, I suggest that you do a filesystem consistency

Formatting gets the job done once the images are taken
Charles,
I had similar issue with various Transcend high speed cards (40x, 80x)
in my DL.

- can not review images
- see card error
I also return a couple of cards, and RMA somes. Eventually, my DL also

Hope it help.
It does, and it doesn't. Thanks for your input, Pasvorn.
Charles, if you Google fake SandDisk card or something like this - you
will come by the eBay guide to the fake memory cards. There is a fair
chance that your card (especially when you say - different style of card
- they should all be the same across all the batches of the same
model) is not
Charles, I'd suggest contacting Pentax. They migt be forgiving about
the warranty status and repair it anyway...
