If folks insert their cards CORRECTLY this problem will not present it's self. For the corner of the card to chip proves in was forced at some point. Sorry, operator error, not card production problem.
Never blamed the card.

Long live CF cards! OOPs guess they’re already dead. Too bad. Although bent pins are an occasional problem I think they’re just built better.

That is the reason that I almost never remove the card from my cameras, instead using the cable to load images from the camera to computer. I know it's a little slower and uses battery power, that doesn't bother me. The exception would be if I shoot many hundreds of photos , then I'll use a card reader or plug the card directly into the computer.

I was gonna say unless you have a full 128GB card...by cord. You can go on vacation and you will need to take a different camera. When you get back, the download on the first camera "should" be ready shortly.;~)

Wow, glad all worked out OK, will strive to remember your issue when inserting and removing my SD Cards. Thanks

Regardless of fault this was a good reminder. I think we all tend to force things, even unintentionally, when hurrying. I will endeavor to be more careful in the future, that’s for sure.

I've had card readers, computers, and (maybe even) cameras that use a metal sleeve to ensure proper alignment when inserting cards. Unless the user is careful, the edge of the metal sleeve can nick the card as it's being inserted, especially if there's any kind of gap between the top of the sleeve and the body slot. Granted, I've never had an issue except for an occasional repositioning of the lock tab on the side. Pleased to hear this instance ended up okay.

Yes. Be very careful. My XQD card lodged in my Z7. Nikon repair had to remove it. Sony eventually replaced the broken card.
