Just wondering again, which CF card has the most problems.
Please vote for the brand that has given you the most problems or none if you have never had any problems.
Thanks all.

Of this list I have only ever used Sandisk, and have never had a problem. So I won't vote and throw off the results as NONE sounds like you have used them all before.

I had a problem only once.
2GB Kingston Elite Pro died on me and was replaced with no questions asked since it had lifetime warranty.


What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Only card to ever fail on me was a Sandisk ultra II, one of three that I have. I have a couple of Kingstons and loads of cheap brands. Most of my 2 Gigs are cheapies and all 5 of my 4 Gigs are cheapies (Dane Elec brand from 7 day shop at £17.99 each).

Running a 5D in RAW over a couple of days at action events, where I am shooting a lot of images, goes through a lot of cards before I can easily download them.

Don't want to jinx yourself, huh? :D

I have only ever used Sandisk (and I guess a Canon 32MB that came with the XT, maybe just once or twice before getting cards with more useful capacity) and have never had a problem.
