I keep getting a message saying there is a problem with the CF card, replace the CF card...bought a new card, and I'm still getting the same message. It won't let me format the card either, and says Err99. Anybody run into this before and know what to do?

have you tried formatting it off the camera? try hooking it up to a USB card reader.

Thanks for the link and the response P1X4R. After installing the "troubleshooting" CD that came with the camera only gave me the new option of controlling the camera with the computer, I started looking at the card slot itself. As far as I can tell, it looks like one of the pins is laying down inside the card slot. How this happened with as many pins as there are and as close together as they are, is beyond me, but I think that's my problem.

sorry to hear that. that's a big concern for me. i always try to insert the CF card in as straight as possible. hopefully, it's an easy fix. let us know how it works out for you.
