Title: Canon 40D and Dane-Electronic flashcard
Post by: sbonk on January 20, 2008, 18:40

Has anyone used a Dane Compact Flash with the Canon 40D? I bought a 4GB Dane card and it will not work. It actually locks up my 40D and I have to remove the battery to get the camera working again. My other flashcards work fine so I am sure the problem is not the camera. I am not sure if this is a general problem with Dane brand or if it is just this one particular card.

I had that kind of problem with a Sandisk last year.  For some reason, initially the card was ok but after inserting it in the camera and shooting few test shots, I decided to format it.

It stopped working.  And the camera (a Canon 350 at that time) froze.  What a panic!!!

I got it back to the store I bough it and they replaced it.  So I guess that your problem is with that card.  Try to read it on another device.
