thanks for all the suggestions hopefully just the card failing since it was working a few days before.
Gonna keep an eye on the camera and just use the card in my old 700 t9 see is it develops issues
All pins look clean and straight this card actually has function in this camera before.
Maybe a pin but if I had a bent pin would not all CF cards have an issue?
Good question on the firmware.mine is up to date but not sure about the wife's. As to battery state they both had good charge
I think I am just going to set it aside the thought of losing a days work is alarming.Just don't understand why it works in other cams and not my D800
You are probably correct ,I have it in my d700 for now since it seems to work there
I would agree but this card seems to function on other cameras, perhaps it is borderline bad
My camera will not function with this particular card in it at all. I have reformatted it in my computer as well as in my wifes D800 and my D700 works fine in theirs but still a no go in mine.
Not sure what is going on and looking for some clues. I have a D800 and have been using a 32gb Transcend CF card with no issues. Now all of a sudden my camera cannot read the card in fact when I put it in the camera is seems to hang trying to read it and nothing else functions till I remove the card. I put this same card in the wife's D800 and my D700 both read it fine just not mine. However my camera will read all the other CF cards we have including other Trancend 32gb. Is there and issue with the camera or card I wonder?
The 16-28 f/2.8 Tokina is a fine lens
Recuva is free and works well for personal use.
An external hard drive to off load and a laptop of course.
An external hard drive to off load every night would be in order and of course a laptop.
