Default RE: Compact Flash Card Problem

ORIGINAL: tycteach

Most of the flash cards that I own that work are SanDisk. The ones that don't right now are 1-Mr. Flash, 1-Viking, and 6-SanDisk. I actually took off a couple of hours from work today and tried numerous times to call the service dept at Non Typical but every time it either rang off the wall and then I got a busy signal or a busy signal right off the bat. I sure would like to hear their take on this. If I ever figure out what's going on, I'll be sure to let you guys know just in case it ever happens to your or to actually prevent it from happening to someone else. Sadly, it's cost me a lot of pictures rightwhen I am really needing to see what's going on. Our muzzleloader season starts 10/28. I would take out the good card, replace it and then move on. The next week, I'd come back and find Error-CamError and no pictures. When I usually get 200 or more pictures from each of my cameras, I didn't get any for a week. Multiply that by 5 cameras and that's over 1,000 pictures I didn't get to see what was happening (which by the way is why I bought the cameras and cards in the first...so that I could see what was happening while I wasn't there)Then, my stupid self realized what was happening and took out the old cards, and was going to look at them and then get them back in the cameras but got busy withthe farming and forgot so the following week, all I got was Camera Full (they hold about 31 pictures internally). So, another week of not getting to see what I really need to be seeing. It's just fun seeing what's going on anyway. I remember when I didn't have these things and was totally unaware of the deer (especially the bigger bucks) that I had on my property over a weeks time. I would never see them because they were only there in the wee hours of the morning before light. I've been taking pictures of the same 3-legged buck for at least 3 years now. It's been really fun to watch how his wierd rack has changed from year to year. We (my wife actually) found one of his sheds last fall. He ran around in front of me for probably 30 minutes last rifle season from probably 35 to 150 yards and me sitting there with my .300 mag. I just couldn't shoot him. Heck, I was cheering for him the whole time hoping he would catch the doe he was chasing. Life has to be pretty tough out there with only 3 legs. I'm always happy when season is over and I get new pictures of him so that I know he made it another year. He's not has healthy looking this year despite even better food so I think he's feeling the age (kind of like me). If you guys figure anything out about what's wrong please let me know. Thanks
Just wondering, are they the SanDisk or SanDisc Ultra? A guy at Staplestold me not to put the faster writing cards (ultra) in the camera. He had heard of problems using the ultra with the camera.
