Viking CompactFlash Card Failure I am not sure what to do. Got the card because the 5 megapixel images take up nearly 3MB each and wanted a large card for vacation. I am worried that minor glitches now could spell card corruption later and I could lose a big chunk of photos. Maybe I will contact Viking to see if there is a problem with this batch of cards. My SanDisk cards work fine in the Olympus. Card corruption can occur and make recovery of images difficult. As you probably know, Lexar even started selling a software program to help retrieve images locked up in a such situations. I wonder if this phenomenon is more common in higher end cameras with high capacity cards and large file sizes? Aus
