Corrupt card or camera?
1

My SD1M has been acting up lately,  but it most likely is the card, a Centon 1000x 64GB UDMA7 Compact Flash card.

I took pictures, and they show up fine, but at some point no more pictures I took show up; and the last picture is an empty file. The name is there, but no content. Strange, as I was shooting RAW+JPEG, medium resolution, and the JPG of that empty file doesn't show up at all.

That card had been formatted before I started shooting with it.

I will use another Centon 500x 64GB card and see what happens.  Next weekend I am going on a trip, and hate to see the SD1M or its CF card fail on me...

Missed some nice pictures in beautiful evening light. Oh well, hope to retake them some day.

On a really good instrument, even the silliest piece of music will sound like a masterpiece. Likewise, in the hands of a skilled, inspired, and patient photographer with a keen eye, almost any subject matter can be approached and shot to become (or at least look like) a great work of art.
