Where did you buy the cards? There are a LOT of fake cards around. Test your cards with software h2testw software. Google it, it's free.

cheers Ian....now i'm worried.... i hheard before that there are many counterfeits sandisk card available in the world due to its popularity.
The 8GB card was bought in a big network camera shop in Japan...
The 16GB card was bought this year in a computer shop. The price aint cheap for both..normally i would suspected something wrong if the price is way too cheap.

Currently i'm having the card tested by H2testw and pray i didnt buy an expensive fake cards.. will update the result in a while....

thanks for your helpful advice.

Actually, one of the better cards for cameras is the Kingston brand. Also, take a look at Lexar cards. I don't use anything larger than an 8GB card. Less chance of anything going wrong. :)

ok test result for the 16GB card :-

Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 16.9 MByte/s
Reading speed: 18.6 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4



seems ok except for the speed...both of them should be at 45Mbps for read speed...both card 1 and 2 gives 16.8 Mbps ... should this mean they are fake??

ok... i just registered card 2 (8GB) at sandisk website and it's ok

However, card 1 (16GB) doesnt have any serial number. This must be fake...grrrrrrr...i paid the same price for the genuine card (well maybe cheaper by $2) coz i bought it with the camera and normally shop gives discount if we buy a body with some other small accessories.


However, one thing still doesnt explain is how can the card (be in fake or not) can be read in slot 1, but cannot be read in slot 2... This doenst make any sense at all . Is Nikon have some kind of anti-piracy agent build in the engine? if it does, how come it cannot read the 8GB card (it already proof genuine by the registration in sandisk website).
If the slot is faulty, why can it still read and write when i inserted the toshiba card.
This seem to puzzle me and haunted me even in my sleep. At first, maybe the slot/body is faulty. but then after i try with toshiba, it's ok. So let alone the cards are faulty but then, card no 2 (8GB ) is genuine, how can it still be problem.

I need aspirin..........

ps: btw jack, yeah Kingston n Lexar are best. I used to love kingston in all memory need back from the 2001 (even my SDRAM on pc and laptops) but then after sometime, sandisk surpass them (at least in the place where i live) or/and the most popular brand overhere since the advent of SD cards and smartphones. Lexar are hard to get in my city. so sandisk, being popular and used by many, are the only best next options. Thanks Jake...

I am not sure there is a problem with your cards or your camera.. i could be wrong but try this...
You said you have chosen the option for file format as 'RAW + JPG'
And you have chosen the function of card 2 to save only JPG files..
This may be confusing your system as one option tells the camera to create a RAW & a JPG while copying & another instruction tells the camera to save a JPG file to card 2...

To cut it short, choose your file format as RAW & leave the card settings as it is ie. Card 2 for saving JPGs

see if that works

It should be valid to do what he is doing. When I was first trying raw, I shot raw+jpg and experimented with letting the camera mix them together or put the jpg on card 2.

I'm getting confused. Your 16gb card is definitely suspect. But does your 8gb sandisk and 8gb toshiba both work no matter which slot they are in? If the 16gb is the only problem, it does not trouble me too much that it works in one slot and not the other. Bad memory can be touchy, it could be unstable and a very slight difference in power supply levels might decide if it works or not. But I still worry about your camera, the camera could also be marginal causing one slot to be more reliable than other. If the two 8gb cards work, that is good, but I would still want to test both slots with at least two new 16gb cards before your warranty is gone. I would want to test the camera with many different cards after all this trouble. Is your camera shop local? Maybe they can help you out by trying some of their cards.

I just tried this. (if I understood correctly). If I'm set only to RAW only and the role of slot 2 is jpg, it gives me a second copy of the raw on card 2, no jpg. So it seems to behave as if it were set to backup for card 2 role. I think if you want raw on card 1 and jpg on card 2, you must also select raw+jpg.

dont get confused...
pls remember, toshiba card works well on both slot (raw or jpeg)
both sandisk card work only in slot 1, but not in slot 2 (regardless of what quality is chosen , raw or jpeg)

the shop is local...will try to go there once i got the time... or borrow some others SD cards....

lets see how it turn out later

Have you tried a full reset of the camera?
Click to expand...

Hi Ian,

resetting wont help either. I tried resetting shooting menu as well as all the menu that has reset in it.

I will update when i got it tested with other type of card. Chances are the card is faulty not the camera.

Thanks guys for all the overwhelming replies.

Have you tried the reset where you hold down the QUAL + Exposure Compensation buttons (both buttons have a greed dot on them) together for 2 seconds??

try formatting both cards in the camera. Then setting card 1 j peg. card 2 video. take some stills shoot some video. See what happens then. At least you will know if its a problem with a duff card or simply a settings issue this way.

hi guys.....been away for quite a long period....

Ok...about this subject matter, last month i send my camera to nikon service center. A few days after that, i spoke with the technician that handle my camera, according to him, there is nothing wrong with the camera. They tested with several type of card (but they didnt told me type of class when i ask)... so they send back the camera.
Just now i went to the camera shops which i bought the camera (the shops helped sending the camera to the center as i live 150miles from the center) .. so once again me and the shop staff were puzzled. We then tested with a few more cards...

as the test ended, we can concluded that the slot 2 only works with SDcard that is lower than type 10 (type 6-2)./.. non of the class 10 works in slot no 2. Sandisk extreme is out of question. Even sandisk ultra wont work. Kingston UH1 class 10 also didnt working.
Amazingly sandisk, kingston, toshiba, buffalo, panasonic and non-branded type 2-6 works in slot2.
Is there mentioned in the specs that slot2 didnt accept type 10 cards?

THis still puzzle me. I had come to believed that many other user of D7000 got type/class 10 cards working in their slot 2. DOnt they?

anyway, i will pay the center a visit when i'm going to the city next month.
