So it happened,..2gb Sandisk Ultra stopped working , not as in " file corrupted " , but as in " insert card " and that during mid-shoot.
Computer can not find the card either , and neither can the D1 /D1x / Slr N / D3s ...CF card is a goner , just like that ,..even tho it s only 2 yrs. old.
Checked on the net , and Yes ,..it can happen.
So what about CF cards of Industrial Grade , them are Costly !...but are they worth it ?...as in, will they Always work ?..
Pleae share yer experiences.
I haven't had any experience of these cards. Even working as a professional I only used bulk standard cards. I always used smaller rather than higher capacity cards. This meant I changed cards more...but I felt I was spreading the shoot across several cards and thus spreading the risk...so I thought. Maybe I was lucky, but in all the time I was shooting professionally, I never had a card failure. So it's hard for me not to say why bother? Chances are it won't happen to you again.
