"CHA" Error On my D70 LCD

Hey guys, if I remember I read somewhere that Lexar cards have this WA technology (Write acceleration) that only works with some cameras that support this WA technology. If I remember correctly, D70s (not sure about D70, should be the same I guess?) does not support WA. Maybe it will be interesting to list your card type (i.e. brand, memory size, speed), pic settings (RAW, fine, etc) , type of error message, and other factors (usage and age of card), and see what are the potential variable/s that causes these problems. For all you know, maybe there is a 'lethal' combination of factors that caused the "CHA" and permanent damage to the CF reading mechanism in the camera? Like using a really fast card on a older camera.....
Just my guess...:think: , still a newbie.

You are spot on. For my case I've gone to convergent to change my CF card a number of times, after 4 tries, I've totally given and brought it back to NSC, end up I had to pay $196 to replace the CF module.
Same thing happened to me as well, it all happened after I send in my Camera for a servicing, there after the CHA keeps appearing intermitternly. Don't bother to try any other errors, send it in for them to take a look.
Just a tip, it won't be cheap if your warranty have expired.
been using lexar 02 * 1GB 80x WA for the past 1yrs plus leh, no such problem so far
was at loyang temple doing some shooting when CHA appear. once I saw that on my LCD, my shutter couldnt fire and I quickly switch off and on it .. continue to shoot and then it occurs another few times before I called it a day (using only 1 card)
Went home and save the pics to my com. And notice there are 3folders instead of the usual one.
Continue to shoot my room with both cards and nothing happens so far .. called NSC and they ask me bring my cam and card down.

I always thought that camera bodies are similar to a computer's motherboard, and the CF cards are like the RAMS or pentium chip. Say, the D2H works fine with Extreme III cards (you need the speed for that fps thing). Imagine in a few years time, an even faster card (supreme IV?) appears. You use this new card on your D2H (or say D70s or older models), is there any chance that the older circuitry, or rather, the device that reads the CF card, can handle the new card? I think it will be wise not to push to the limits of a new CF card on older cameras. Again, newbie's thoughts.
In the end, it is still the end users who may or may not experience problems; and it will be good for all parties if these problems can be properly catalogued. Just my thoughts...
