    Yikes! I’ve got two of them… same brand, same type, same size… I hope mine will continue delivering.

    And I hope that they can rescue at least some of your images!

    Correction – my cards are CF. Does that mean that I’m safe? ;)

    But I still hope it goes well for you!

    There is propably nothing to do with the card :-/ Just to get the receit and replace it. Biggest loss were the pictures. Fortunately, I got the change to shoot some objects again, but the light is never the same.

    Jaakko: What a cool stick :> but less practical, me thinks.
