Guys,
So very sorry as I have to bring up this topic, but I am having a bit of problem now. Currently using a Transcend 4GB card, and about 5% of my picts are corrupt. There are jagged images and fractions of images joint together in one frame. Is this normal? Reformatted it a few times, using both my KM 5D and A100, with the same results. By the way, anybody selling Sandisk cards here, I heard they are more reliable. How about Apacer?
Going to buy new one soon. Is buying a smaller capacity, say 2gb is safer? Please help me with yr advice...

Yes go for Sandisk, more realiable. Owned a PENDRIVE brand too, but fell Sandisk will be more faster.

I am using Transcedn 1gb 120x, very good, but i would recommend u try this way, transfer all photo by using card reader + use 'copy' function only. then put it back to camera, format everytime u want to start new and make sure format in camera.

and pls only use 1 type/brand of card in the camera- my stupid thinking.

I amy get 2gb version, but didnt saw the booth in pc fair, may go to low yat or pyramid to find out.
