Started getting random ERR 99s on the 20D..

Anyone else having this problem? I use the h@ll out of my camera, but yesterday I was shooting bridal portraits and saw the error twice. Once I turned the camera off and it was fine, the next time I had to pull the batteries. Not sure what's up. I'm running the .10 firmware I believe. Guess I'll see if there's an update?

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I was using a 50mm Canon prime throughout the shoot.

My 20D had a fit on friday last. Had to pull the lens (100-400) to get it to come back up. Very strange. Today it filled a 2G CF card with only four shots. I formated the card in the field and retook the shots . . . never saw that one before either.

Wow, not liking the sound of this! How many shots have you guys taken? Anything to do with your camera being in sleep mode at all?

I'm guessing I'm at around 9k+ on mine. Not a sleep mode thing because I would be shooting multiple shots and it would ERR out right in the middle of shooting and everything would halt.

I thought I remember something in reference to a lens being changed while the camera was on?
I had the same problem on a job in November when the camera was a few weeks old, and since then I always have the camera off while changing lens. Since the I have not seen that problem.
