Photo Cards..

I've got a lexar now & it's not doing so good. Got all my Mexico pics on there & it's giving me "memory card error". Thankfully they're saved on my PC but I was gonna take them to CVS & get pics printed, now I can't :bang:


Guess I'll send them to shutterfly

Yes, what the lovely..... and talented Graytonbound said :cool:

I've shot over 50,000 images on Lexar without a problem. But I'm always real careful with my cards.

Most likely operator error. :lol:

Seriously though, it could be due to your camera, reader, etc. Do you ever format the card in your camera? That will keep it clean and writing fast. If you already transferred the pics on it to your PC then try formatting the card in your camera.

And be sure to archive all your priceless pics to CD or DVD.

In my best Bevis and Buthead voice.... Uh....hahahaha... I'll let Grayton bound respond to that one..... Uh....hahahaha.... :confused:

I've never had a memory card or memory stick problem, but Imaging Review (great reputation, this site) puts this in every camera review they give. I thought it might be helpful. I'm one of those "that will never happen to ME" kinds of people, but if it ever did I would probably have to seek safety measures. LOL.

Recommended Software: Rescue your Photos!
Just as important as an extra memory card is a tool to rescue your images when one of your cards fails at some point in the future. We get a lot of email from readers who've lost photos due to a corrupted memory card. Memory card corruption can happen with any card type and any camera manufacturer, nobody's immune. A lot of "lost" images can be recovered with an inexpensive, easy to use piece of software though. Given the amount of email I've gotten on the topic, I now include this paragraph in all my digital camera reviews. The program you need is called PhotoRescue, by DataRescue SA. Read our review of it if you'd like, but download the program now, so you'll have it. It doesn't cost a penny until you need it, and even then it's only $29, with a money back guarantee. So download PhotoRescue for Windows or PhotoRescue for Mac while you're thinking of it. (While you're at it, download the PDF manual and quickstart guide as well.) Stash the file in a safe place and it'll be there when you need it. Trust me, needing this is not a matter of if, but when... PhotoRescue is about the best and easiest tool for recovering digital photos I've seen.

Thanks BeachDreamer. Good info

Stick it in your camera - there should be a menu item for "format".
