I've never had a problem with my lexar cards [:/] sorry to hear about your problems. what camera are you using it with and what make/model of card is it?

That said i've never had any problems with the San Disk cards or Ultra Cards i've had and used either. some just seem to transfer faster than others.

You can often recover pics that are on the card, even if they have been removed/deleted with programs like Exif Untrasher (for Mac). You need a separate card reader to do it though, Exif Untrasher won't work if you read the card through the camera usb interface.

I have had the err99 happen twice in about a year on my 20D.

Turn off the camera, remove the CF card and then remove the battery for about a minute. Replace the CF card and then the battery and power it back up.

In both cases the camera worked fine after that and all my pics were still there.

There are no perfect cards/brands of cards. Having a single card fail or go bad is not nearly a ig enough sample to make a determinationof whether or not that brand id good or not--they all suck sometimes. I have Lexar media and two generations of Sandisk, and so far they've all worked more or less alright.

Your right. I have had 3 LEXAR all quit on me so far. Lindsey down in Deland has 2 lexasrs that have given here the same problem. I have spoken with quite a few camera flyers and quite a few have had the same problem all with lexar. So far, the new Brand is holding up. Well, if lexar works for you use it. It hasn't for me
