Lexar 80X data corruption problems with Canon DSLR's

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I've had the occational data corruption problems with my new Rebel XT with 2
of my 3 Lexar 80X CF cards, and have lost a number of images. It's good to
see that both Lexar and Canon have addressed the problems. Lexar has online
RMA form and hopefully Canon will soon release a firmware to fix the
problem. I've just completed the Lexar RMA form and now waiting from Lexar
to send me instructions on how to send the CF cards back to them, and they
will either send me new cards or update the firmware. I don't believe the
firmware are user-upgradeable. Here are the links:
