Hi (again)
just did some more experiments with the media card, filled it 3 times now
shooting a mixture of raw and jpg with none of them comming back corrupt.
I also 'exersized' the card with transfering data to it from the laptop, and
checking it back, but everything works fine. In fact the transfer rate is
fairly dam good.
Eg using robocopy to tranfer the files to and from my hard disk I'm getting
1.3Mbits / sec both read and write
The media is 'ramostek' media (never heard of it before this)
I've been using the CF media in the CF media slot that's built into my IBM X20
thinkpad, and have never had a problem in using CF in various digital cameras
since 2001. The thinpad loads the CF as an IDE drive, which as far as I know,
is the native way to read the CF media
The images would not read either in the Camera, in the CF reader, or via the
USB, so I'm fairly sure that it has nothing to do with the CF reading methods
interestingly I found this on DPREVIEW
In cool weather(below 50F) pictures do not record correctly
on the compact flash card. Records and displays "corrupt data".

is anyone else out there shooting in the cold, or is it just me in Finland?
I know that I took some shots on a day that was -22 C with no problems (same
media card) so I'm not convinced that this is a problem
