Hi,
Halfway through day 2 of a holiday to Cradle Mountain (a national park in Tasmania, Australia), under trying conditions (rain and snow), my 5D3 reported an issue with the CF card (could not read it).
I discovered that the CF card would not respond to the camera. I don't have a card reader as such, as I've always left the card in the camera and downloaded images from there. The card had been in the camera for the past 3.5 years. A new CF card in the camera was picked up okay. So its a card issue. Before use on this trip, both the CF and SD cards were formatted in camera.
Suggestions for recovery? I'm in Australia, but I'm willing to look at options. As a plan B, I have a friend in Tampa, FL where there is a company (LC Technology) which appears to have a good review for recovering data.
Regards,
Nick
