Well fired up the camera to go shoot some prarie dogs and the Lexar card errored. Camera hangs when trying to format it to:(
Now to figure out how to get it replaced lol...never gonna spend the extra cash for one of those again.
I'll stick with the SanDisk2...cheap but reliable.

80x pro has a lifetime warranty. It should be replaced for free.

Ya I just filled out the RMA form...Hope it doesn't take to long. May as well pop on ebay and grab a Sandisk2 as a backup anyway..75.00 is allot better than Best Buys at 135.00 lol

I requested a RMA from Lexar, got mail with some forms to fill out. That was on Tuesday, and I have not got any RMA number yet. Let me know how it went for you.

I've had the same problem with my 2gb 80x. This was at the beginning of the year. I think the turnaround was 3 - 4 weeks. That might not be exact though, I just remember thinking it took awhile. The replacement has had no issues.

I've just taken 59 images on a supposed good (replaced) Lexar 80x 4GB card. I reviewed the images with my customers and they looked great, they were very pleased! When I loaded the card into the card reader and downloaded the pics...... yes you've guessed it, no pics taken today, just all the pics taken the previous day which I erased from the card before shooting. What is going on. When you fork out the cash for a CANON 1DS MK II you expect quality. I now have to redo the shoot at my cost and have some very angry customers. Has anyone had the same problem? I have never had the 'lock up' problem people are talking about, just complete images disappearing. I wouldn't have minded if some had disappeared! but not all. Please help.

Cheers, Ivan

Just one question - you say you erased your pics. Does that mean you formatted the card once it was put back in the camera? Touch wood, I've not had any problems with my Lexar cards (the 2GB one has been "updated"). Fortunately perhaps I can't afford a 4GB card ;)

Have you tries the "image rescue" come with the Lexar Card? If it is just a corruption of FAT, the images should be there.
