As Andy says, a simple fix could just be to dress the damage to the thread with a fine file...

Thanks for this - just downloaded.

Just a quick update for anyone who's interested - I purchased another SD card from Amazon, and this time around it's a genuine one. Being able to compare the two side-by-side, it's obvious that the first two are not quite right:- - The read-only tab is yellow on the dodgy card, but grey on the...

Unfortunately I have no advice to give - but I will be around Club corner on race day as a spectator. As a newbie I'll probably be taking some blurry photos of the back end of bikes as they pass me... Enjoy!

Thanks for the replies and advice everyone. I've contacted Amazon and they've arranged for a refund. Now I just need to find some new cards (and cross my fingers that this doesn't turn out in some way to be a camera issue!)!

So I've formatted the card from within Windows, and not used the 'quick format' option - in all it took a few hours which seemed particularly slow to me. With this card in the camera, I'm still seeing the issues as above - some shots in RAW format display fine initially, however are soon...

Hi Stewart, Thanks for your reply. The cards appeared to be in retail packaging, so I assumed they were genuine. They were purchased from Amazon (Amazon themselves rather than a seller). Having looked through some of the questions posed on the Amazon product page, one commenter notes that the...

Hi all, I've recently purchased a Canon 60D, along with two SanDisk Extreme (32GB) memory cards. I've been experiencing some odd behaviour, both when shooting in RAW and JPG. When shooting in RAW, all shots initially show fine on the LCD, however when I come to view them either through the...

Excellent thread! Like a few other people commenting here, I'm also starting out and found this thread very informative. Much appreciated!
