Warning: Problems with Canon SLRs and Lexar cards

[GTaudiophile]

Both Canon and Lexar have issued media alerts which describe issues discovered between several Canon digital SLRs and Lexar Pro 80x CompactFlash cards. Lexar is describing the problem as 'a lost image condition', which they say occurs only in extreme circumstances and can occur with other brands' cards too. As well as highlighting the Lexar problem, the Canon alert describes a problem with the EOS-1D(s) Mark II, which can lead to the loss of images still buffered. Firmware updates to fix these issues should be avaiilable by the end of this month. Full details enclosed.

I'll stick with my two SanDisk 1GB Ultra II CF cards, thank you. Wonderful write speed with the 20D.

Speed difference is negligeable
