My plan as of now is to see if this card breaks down further. Currently, it is only a nuisance that I cannot delete images on camera. I've been always *moving* files from CF cards of my *istD for 2+ years. I never lost an image this way. But who said it was the only way. So, if this card will become unusable I will simply ask to replace it with another card, most probably SanDisk as they seem to be more reliable.
