SD Card - Help Please! Noob keeps getting "Card Err" messages on D7200
After 10 years of digital point and shoots, I decided to get back into "serious hobby" photography (had a 8008s years ago) and bought a D7200 last month. Love it.
However, from the first day, I have been getting "Card Err" messages after less than a dozen shots. I have 3 SD cards, and I have formatted each in the camera several times - each time they work fine until the warning goes off after a few more shots. I have spent several hours researching this over the past few weeks and still have the problem.
The cards are:
1) SanDisk Ultra Plus 64GB SDXC - brand new I bought just for this camera
2) PNY High Performance 32GB SDHC - less than 3 months old. Works fine in my Coolpix L830
3) SanDisk 8GB SDHC - Probably a year old, also works in the Coolpix L830.
I did read in the PDF owners manual where PNY is not on their list of recommended cards, so I can scratch that one off the list of concerns. However, both SanDisk cards should work. Like I said earlier, I have had to re-format each one probably 8-10 times because of the card error message. Then they work fine for 10-12 shots, and then crash again. No matter what combination of 1 or 2 disks in either combination I put in the camera, I still get the "Card Err" message after a few shots. Hard to believe all 3 cards are bad, especially when they work in the Coolpix L830.
I have the camera set for medium size, high quality JPEG, single shot (I do mostly travel and scenic, so most of my photos are at least 5-10 seconds apart), and the cards are set up for slot 2 as extra storage (not duplicate).
Please - any ideas????
Thanks!
