Memory cards

[Michael Lyons]

Ok so I have a problem, I purchased 2 Sandisk Ultra 2's 2 gig cards from costco the weekend of thanksgiving. I just now got around to using them and every image on the cards is corrupt. I formatted the cards when 1st used and have done so a few times and this keeps happening. Each image has purple, green, and other color bars/stripes across the image.

Has anybody ever had this problem with these cards? I also have a handful of the same card but in one gigs and haven't had a problem with them.

Please help!

formatting in camera ?
other cards giving a problem or are they ok ?
Costco will take them back or exchange them. Show them the problem and get them to open the replacements and give them a try.

Just out of curiosity, what model camera are you using?

Yes I am formatting in camera, and no, these are the only two cards that have been a problem

I have an Ultra II 1G that worked fine in my D70 and now in my D200. I also use the Extreme III 2GB in Nikon bodies. At the moment I'm favoring the Ridata Pro 150x cards in 2GB size available at NewEgg.com for $33 each. I've got three of them that are very fast.

stole this from another thread, but that small part is what my entire card looks like

I get that once in awhile with my PQI CF Card, but not my Sandisk....

if it doesn't happen on other cards, and the new ones have been formatted, the problem is definitely the cards. return them.
