Nobody? Anybody?

Shootin' in the dark here, so to speak, but ya might wanna check the white balance and color balance settin's on your camera.

Another thing ya might wanna try would be to do a full format of the cards. The camera may have a utility for that, but I'd recommend puttin' the card in a card reader, usin' your 'puter's Format utility first, to ensure a full "clean slate" wipe-and-format, then usin' the camera's Format utility if it has one.

Hi timberlandko!

We do wipe and reformat the card after each use.

We talked it over today and we are going to do some tests with the white balance. We recently moved our studio and although we are using the same lighting system we thought this would be easy enough to investigate.

We also dug down into the bag and pulled out a little used card to work with today and things seemed pretty good on it.

I think it must be that the much used cards are getting a little old and kind of funky.

I was reading that Sandisk has introduced a new industrial card which makes me think that maybe the cards do wear out and don't record accurately after a while.

I've never thought of those things going bad but when you think about it, there really isn't any reason to expect them to last forever!

Thank you.

I s'pose age deterioration ain't outta the question; nothin' lasts forever. I do have some CF cards that date from the late '90s, though, and while they're slow and have little capacity compared with contemporary offerin's, they function just fine otherwise, and some have had hundreds of cyclin's.

I haven't tried the SanDisc "industrial" cards, but I'll say I'm very impressed by Lexar's high-speed/high capacity "Pro" series. Usin' an 80X card for burst shootin', I can't fill the camera's buffer!
