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

Hi
I've been using SanDisk Extreme III cards in my 20d without any problems
(summer and winter). Last winter I was shooting alpine skiing and ice
racing with temps in the -20c and colder range.
