Hi All - interested in your opinions:


I've been using a Trascend 4GB flash card with my A100 and I'm up to around 5000 shots.


I'd never had a problem until last week where I pulled some shots of the camera at work using a friend's USB card reader and attempted to process them with a trial of bibble I downloaded at the time. Bibble crashed on me while reading the ARW files which I put down to being due to a configuration problem on the machine.


When I got home I pulled of the same files as I normally would via my internal (but still USB) card reader. At this point I realised there was a problem with the files as the Sony converter produced a corrupted preview/result for a small number (around 4 of 100 or so), and these same files caused bibble to crash.


At this point I became very concerned there was a problem with my compact flash or worse the camera's controller. I took a stream of shots to try and recreate the problem but didn't succeed. I've since taken around 350 more photos and the problem's not resurfaced.


First of all should I be concerned? I'm hopeful that the problem is with the card reader I'd never used before. Has anyone experienced something similar?


I understand that the Compact Flash has internal contingency for mapping away problem memory locations - could this have occurred?


If anyone's interested I've kept the ARWs for reference.
