As soon as I switched to a Nikon<\/span> D700<\/a> from a Nikon<\/span> D200, I started<\/span> getting\ncorrupt memory cards. I brought<\/span> the camera to the Nikon Service Center in Osaka,\nbut they said that it's probably the memory card that's the problem. I used only<\/span> Transcend\ncompact flash<\/a> cards, which are not on the official supported list,\nso they suggested that I move<\/span> to an officially-supported card.<\/p>\n\n

In those early days, the problem manifested itself with a scrambled<\/span> view\nof the image on the D700's screen, but they downloaded fine and I never<\/span> had\nother problem with the images. In any case<\/span>, they soon went away and for\nmonths I forgot<\/span> about the issue. Then last December I had<\/span> a full<\/span>-card\nmeltdown, and would have lost all the images from the day if it hadn't been\nfor the image-recovery tool I wrote<\/span> about in “Recovering Photos from a\nCorrupt<\/span> Memory Card with PhotoRec<\/a>”<\/p>\n\n

I wasn't entirely convinced the problem was with the card.... I half suspected<\/span> that it was due to my card reader, but I threw<\/span> the card away and\ngot another. Unfortunately, five months later I ran<\/span> into the problem again,\nfinding upon return from a vacation<\/span> that all the images from our trip to\nIshigaki Island<\/a> were lost to a corrupt<\/span> card. Again, PhotoRec<\/i>\ncame to my rescue, so again, I sent a<\/span> big fat donation of thanks to its\nmaintainer.<\/p>\n\n

I still felt that the problem wasn't in the cards, but to be prudent, I switched<\/span> to cards on Nikon's official supported-for-the-D700 list of cards.<\/p>\n\n

So yesterday, I arrived<\/span> at my folks in Ohio after a long<\/span> flight from\nJapan, and this morning I took<\/span> some pictures of Anthony playing, and found\nmy Lexar Professional card to be totally corrupt. Sigh. PhotoRec<\/i> is\nrunning right now.<\/p>\n\n

The problem could be my card reader (a different<\/span> one than before, I\nthink,<\/span> but I'm not 100% sure... I have several<\/span>), or this and the previous\ntime it could be the airport X-Ray..... or it could be my D700. I dunno.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
