I've heard that if a Lexar card ever fails you, they will recover the data for you and send you a new card.

Post by: Bean Counter on January 02, 2015, 01:41:51 AM: if its the old 7D, I don't think it will work. I have tried that camera out but didn't look at the card compartment. IIRC it takes a single Compact Flash card. However, the new 7D Mark II is styled after the 5dIII, so it should have both a CF slot as well as an SD slot. The 70D, which you mentioned in another thread, takes a single SD card, like my 'cheapie' full frame, the 6D.

Amazing that the dinosaur engineering the Compact Flash card is, that it has held on for this long. Tough old gunfighter.

Adorama has great customer service and return policies so if it doesn't work out you should be able to send it back no problem.

This link provides a good explanation

I have been using a lot of my 45mb/sec SD cards that I initially bought for my trail cameras and even shooting 20-25mb RAW files in an occasional burst I haven't run into problems yet.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on January 02, 2015, 04:43:16 PM: They sent me 2, 32gb cards with the c10 mark. I'll find out in a couple weeks if I need the big ones or not. The thing is, I only do the camera shooting for sport and nothing serious.....
