So how....anyone also face the same problem?...I'm using a C5050Z...

just got a piece of 256mb F1

didnt crash on me, but just give me a CF card error after i used it for a while

dun allow me to off my v3 until i took out the cf card

after re insterting it to my v3, it functions as normal

so dunno if its my cam or the card though

donno leh...was at the esplanade today and took some pics....whole day also no problem...end of the day wanna take some VGA movies and when I tried to switch to the mode on the cam...up come the screen on my LCD asking me to either power down or to format the card....not much choice I have lor...so sad man...I haven't actually formattd it thou....hoping somehow can still retrieve the pics (not really hoping that much actually)...will wanna go down AP and show the staff there the error screen...sigh...probably i velly suay lah....

After seeing all your comments and reviews on the PQI CF card, i am beginning to have second thoughts of whether to buy it.

Anybody else out there who owns one of these cards please give your reviews on the performance of the card??

Would appreciate it greatly.

So far so good for the 256Mb F1 I bought. Have not encountered any problems (hope not... ;p).

Performance seems to be faster than my old Hagiwara 25X, but I did not do any measured comparison. All based on "feel"...

Let's not turn this thread OT.

Please share your feedback here

i think the card reader is USB 1.1 or 1.3

Went to magnificent snap at marina square today. They are offering $320 for 1G hi-speed pqi. No need print profile or anything. If you cannot wait for 1G to come in, this is a good place to get.

btw, I would advise to call them at 63381976 first to make sure they have the stocks.

 

[vince123123]

wah even cheaper!

there is no USB 1.3 spec. only USB 1.1 or 2.0.

 

[Belle&Sebastain]

should be 1.1 then, my stuff is in office.

Just give AP a call...still dunno when the new stock will arrive. Really hope we can organise a MO with AP. This will avoid any disappointment.
