XT Memory Card Error - 08-14-2008, 12:21 PM


Has anyone experience the error below with the XT?

When I load a CF card into the slot, I get "Error CF". I thought it was the card but 3 cards and all Sandisk? It this a known issue?

Did you try a reformat the card in camera?
Also, look inside the CF slot and see if there is a bent or broken pin.

Reformatting in camera help a friend with her Digital Rebel. She was also using some gemneric card reader that seemed to corrupt them, so she'd have to reformat a lot until she figured that one out.

I found out what was causing the error. Two of the pins were bent, one has recently broken off. Canon will charge $200 to fix. Anyone looking for parts on a XT?
