Easiest and cheapest to test is the card reader, though. The good old <a href="http://www.adorama.com/KG191R.html?kbid=62512" rel="nofollow">Kingston USB 2.0 UDMA</a> reader is just $13.

I know it can possibly be my computer ( being as old as it is), my card reader, (cheap thing) or could it possibly be my compact flash??? I need to get some advice on a good compact flash reader, any would be greatly appreciated.

Mine seems to write okay but when freshly formatted, it only show 15 exposures available (even after I shot 650). Firmware upgrade? Have you tried a Lexar 32MB CF in the D300?

Lexar 400x gives great bang-for-the-buck performance. Same as D300…very similar performance. Lexar 400x gives great bang-for-the-buck performance.

I've been using an Extreme III that I had from my D300, but I'm selling the D300 and including he card. What memory card would you recommend for my D3? (I'm an amateur and shoot everything from high school football and wresting, to horse races, to portraits and macro shots). Thanks for any information you can provide!

I've got Nikon D300S. I bought 8 GB 133x and always about 10% pictures were corrupted. I returned it and bought 16 GB 133x card and it has same problem. Maybe this is just bad luck, but I'm gonna return it and never buy Transcend, even it is cheaper than other brands. Exception is Transcend SDHC-cards which are working fine. Other brand CF-cards are working fine without corrupted pictures, so camera is working correctly. I don’t recommend Transcend CF-cards, at least to Nikon. I’ve got Nikon D300S.
