[QUOTE="aroy, post: 294887, member: 16090"] Regarding CF card. You have to be extremely careful while inserting the cards. Any way now that the contacts are bent, live with it till your camera goes for any other repair. At least you have an SD card to fall back on. In order to prevent such failures, I usually never take the card out, but use the USB to transfer the images to computer. USB2 is reasonable fast, takes about 5 minutes to transfer 16GB data. But D800/E has USB3, which should be at least six times faster. If you are in India, then monitor the major e-retailers : Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal. You will get excellent deals for 32GB SDXC Sandisk cards. As I do not need very fast speed I got 45mbps 32GB card for around Rs.2,600/. 95mbps card is about twice as expensive.

I have yet to figure out why. (May be they are used in pro cameras and are sturdier in build). That is why my personal preference is for a body with two SD cards, instead of one SD and one CF.
