To all those who've experienced CF card failure; What brand+model were they?

These cards haven't failed for over 4 years and still going:
-4gb Sandisk Extreme III
-8GB Sandisk Extreme

My latest...

And just curious about all those who have had failed CF cards.

What brand and model were they?

These cards have not yet failed me after over 4 years of use:
SanDisk Extreme

In my opinion, smart media had a short life, but at the time, wafer-thin memory was sweet.

Adobe software has always been free, "open source". I have always had the latest PS and LR flavours. Not to mention the Nik software collection. Get with it.

Placed 22^nd in the challenge.

yup, winner, bet ya $5 on it.

Very interesting. Looks like an EOS-1 like my 1N. Long live inspiring people and the legacy they leave behind!

Very interesting. It's the awesome Canon EOS 3, with eye-controlled focusing! Wish I had one, but still love my EOS 1N Long live inspiring people and the legacy they leave behind!

I'm in the exact same boat. Love the 7D...however, I've been switching off with my grandpa's D7000, and I gotta say, Nikon does produce a very technical silent shooter. Very excited about this...

Placed 5^th in the challenge. Composite.

Placed 23^rd in the challenge. My current 2004 330Ci Sport in the countryside of Millstone, NJ

Placed 101^st in the challenge. My former Bimmer, a 1990 E34 535i, resting before I get on my way through the rest of the curvy, narrow roads up and down Bear Mountain, NY. Was on my way to see an E34 M5, didn't work out; loved my car more.

Placed 168^th in the challenge. Shot with Sigma 530DG Super flash

Thou art only 5 DAYS AWAY!!!, June 20th is the official release date!!

Now we need a 50-500 f/4

U needs muskles to karry dis.

I suppose all the 70-200's out there are too big & heavy for you as well?

+1 for the 17-70. Definitely a favorite. I could focus up to the glass with that baby. Never had a lens like it. Zoom lock, decent macro, good aperture, good focal range, solid construction, great...

For sure. If physics limits us from making an 18-250 with a max aperture of... f/4 (let's say), then I understand. But honestly, I wouldn't mind carrying a bigger lens if it meant the telephoto...

Woah there cowboy. MACRO is not only classified by a 1:1 magnification ratio. 2.9 is close too. I have a 17-70 that's around 1:2.3 or so and got me into the macro world...then I went to the Sigma...
