At my shop, when someone comes in with a camera that takes CF cards and is
having card errors, the first thing I check is the cardslot in the camera.
Are the pins all straight? Are any missing? Bent pins are pretty common in
just-purchased cameras, usually from user error (the user not being used to
how the card is properly inserted).
If the pins all look good, and none of your cards work, take your camera
back for another. You got a lemon.
