Lexar 40X CF Card

About the only time you hear about a product is when something goes wrong.

So, I would like to tell about something good.

I was getting ready to leave for work one morning and before I went out the
door I checked the capture counter on my D100. It read -E- and I patted my
pocket to see if my Lexar 512mb 40X Compact Flash Memory card was there. It
wasn't there and then I had to think about the last place I saw it. Then to
my horror I remembered that I had put it in my shirt pocket (I wear a
uniform and the shirt pockets have flaps), and I had washed that shirt the
night before.

I went to the garage, opened the dryer and pulled out the shirt. My CF card
was still in the pocket. Fearing the worst and not wanting to take a chance
on harming the camera, I put the CF card in my computer. The CF card was
immediately recognized. Then I put it the camera and up popped -519- which
is the normal number of captures for the quality that I keep the camera on.

Lexar makes a good product...

I wonder how a micro drive would have fared.

I hate to be the pessimist, Brian, but you're not out of the woods yet. The
problem that you have started is called corrosion. It doesn't happen
overnight.

Good thing it was empty... it would have sucked if you washed off several
hundred images! Maybe they wouldn't have washed completely off, but I bet
they would have been faded, at the very least.... ;-)

Good shooting,

I washed a Palm Pilot a year ago. It didn't fare well, but the SD card is
still in service.
Damned cargo pockets!

Are you sure it's Lexar?

I's say it's really your washing machine company that makes a good product!
