... but I have another problem.

I bought a new Sandisk 8gb card for the D2X. Formatted it, took it out today. A kingfisher flew down and sat in front of the hide I was in ... WOW! I shot one frame, tried to shoot another one – nothing, shutter wouldn't drop. I turned the camera off, waited a few seconds, turned it back on and shot again – one frame and the same thing happened. And that was how it went on. On continuous, it would let me take two frames only before it died.

Eventually, having tried everything I could think of, I took the card out and inserted a 4gb card – it worked perfectly. So, what's going on? Have I just got a rogue card? Any ideas

Unbelievably, the kingfisher dived and fished and posed for nearly fifteen minutes, so the day wasn't lost but I was badly rattled.

Jacqui check your card for the numbers on the side, I've been reading on another forum about a bunch of bogus sandisk cards on the market.
