Leave it to Canon to do something like that!

I shall telephone my friend at once and tell him to ditch his Canon gear as
it's clearly useless. Ooh, what about all the other professionals that use
Canon? Maybe I should alert the authorities...

I'm so glad I haven't got any shares in Canon, what with it looking like
they'll go into administration now.

Thanks George!

I'm going to have a strong cup of coffee now.
Craig.

Give them credit for isolating the problem, and letting those very few users
who combine those conditions to avoid it until the fix is out. It's a
combination of shooting raw+jpeg, and then trying to review while it's
writing to a Lexar card. I use Sandisk, and tried to duplicate the problem
in my 20D, and couldn't.
