[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 842687, member: 50197"] I second BF Hammer on the CF Express. They are expensive, but you are definitely limiting your camera's capabilities by using the SD card as primary. It certainly sounds like your SD card is defective. It sounds like you ordered it, and depending on where you got it, it may not be a genuine Sandisk, and even if it is, there could still be problems with it straight out of the box, assuming it isn't a formatting issue. I don't know what your finances are, but SD cards are relatively inexpensive, so a spare would be a good investment. If money is tight, you might take a chance on not carrying a spare CF Express card, once you get one, and relying on the SD as a backup if you have a problem with the faster card in the field. I have a number of Sandisk cards in my cameras, both SD and CF Express, and in the half decade I have been shooting digital, I haven't had any fail. Yet. It does, however, happen. [/QUOTE]
