Something is wrong (with my K10D)
Hi! When I bought my K10D I also bought a TwinMOS 1GB 150x memory card. The first one broke (camera would display memory card error message) after about 250 images. I have replaced this card with another one of the same kind. Now I am getting very strange messages. They appeared just before the previous card broke done: I would take a shot. Then I would insert it to my SanDisk 12 in 1 card reader and try to *move* files from the card on to my hard drive. The files would copy, but Windows would refuse to delete them saying that disk is write protected. Of course the lock switch on the card is in unlocked position. So now I have to delete all or format my card each time I am done copying my stuff. What is wrong? Is there some kind of basic incompatibility here?

We sat and talked a bit about his past, about photography in general, about Nikon and Canon in particular, and it seemed like today would be the perfect day to start working on his portrait. This is the first snap, but there will be more to come. He wasn't feeling well today - he has emphysema and he was suffering from a bad cold or flu as well.

Re: Something is wrong (with my K10D)
Cotty, this is very unusual to me approach, but I may have to adopt it. Boris, this may not help you, but as a matter of course, I always let the camera format the card and never the computer. I treat it as though the card belongs to the camera, is owned by it, should be 'looked after' by the camera, and is simply loaned to the computer to offload images. Once back in the camera, I always reformat the card prior to further use. Touch wood, I have never had a problem this way. I have had some problems before adopting this protocol by trying to wipe a card by using the computer. 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.

RE: Something is wrong (with my K10D)
You might have a POS card. You may want to stick with more mainstream cards, like SanDisk, Kingston, Lexar, Transcend However, why not borrow and try to use some other cards before getting any more nervous. See how they work in your camera, card reader, and with your computer. Also, see how the card you now have works with other card readers and computers. You gotta isolate the cause before trying to attribute blame. I wouldn't be too quick to blame the camera. Shel [Original Message] From: Boris Liberman When I bought my K10D I also bought a TwinMOS 1GB 150x memory card. The first one broke (camera would display memory card error message) after about 250 images. I have replaced this card with another one of the same kind. Now I am getting very strange messages. They appeared just before the previous card broke done: I would take a shot. Then I would insert it to my SanDisk 12 in 1 card reader and try to *move* files from the card on to my hard drive. The files would copy, but Windows would refuse to delete them saying that disk is write protected. Of course the lock switch on the card is in unlocked position. So now I have to delete all or format my card each time I am done copying my stuff. What is wrong? Is there some kind of basic incompatibility here?

We sat and talked a bit about his past, about photography in general, about Nikon and Canon in particular, and it seemed like today would be the perfect day to start working on his portrait. This is the first snap, but there will be more to come. He wasn't feeling well today - he has emphysema and he was suffering from a bad cold or flu as well.

The first 3 images are all the exact same exposure - but I was able to use different tricks (and I am still experimenting) to try and draw out the darned thing to make it visible. The things I was doing with curves and levels would certainly not have been possible with JPEG - the image would have been completely destroyed by some of those severe settings. SO I'll say this: For the critical, never-going-to-get-it-again images, I can see that RAW is definitely a valuable resource.

But I wasn't expecting 35 mm _square_ exposures: http://www.markcassino.com/temp/IMGP2607.jpg That's a modern 35mm exposure on the right. She also had several medium format 6x6 cm slides, probably taken in a TLR of some sort.
