Caution: Sandisk SD Card Issue with 5D Mark IV

Correct - there have not been any reports of issues with CF on the 5D4 that I am aware of. Which is why I am looking to purchase additional CF cards so I can continue to use the 5D4 on client work. Past my 30-day return window on the camera and it needs to be used vs. sitting on a shelf waiting for an update...
I've been using Sandisk memory card products almost exclusively for 10+ years now. This is the first time I've encountered an issue with any of their cards. And at this point I'm fairly certain it was a camera issue with the SD card slot and firmware, not an issue with the card.
Only was considering the Lexar 1066x UDMA7 CF cards (LCF128CRBNA1066) because of the price. Lexar has a good reputation and is $100/128GB vs $145/128GB for the Sandisk SDCFXPS-128G-A46. When looking at purchasing multiple cards, it becomes a factor.

Since I don't have any Lexar cards maybe I shouldn't comment at all. However, another member commented on the specific card (lexar) being used in different cameras (not 5D4) so I thought it wouldn't harm to mention a totally positive experience about a specific CF card that I have used with my 5D4. That's all

I appreciated the feedback - thank you!

Can we compare the (fist two for example) serial numbers of the cameras with sd issues?
Mine starts with 04 (October make). The point here is the previous camera started with 03 (September make).
Nothing scientific but if these numbers are different (even start with 05) then there is no point in replacement. If they are the same then probably (AND ONLY PROBABLY) we have something....

A difference in the incident with my card (sandisc extreme pro 64gb non v30 as mentioned earlier): it was an error 02 during shooting that froze my camera. A format (low level or not) always works and the card can be used again. I just lost confidence in SD port.

Mine starts with 03. Issue appears to be with new V30 SD cards only, it seems.
According to support, Canon engineers are still working on this and have no update. If you're experiencing issues and are outside of your return window, I would suggest at least opening a ticket with Canon so you can have your issue documented.

Thanks for the answer. It is my 2nd camera and I am not sure it can be reproduced other than shooting a lot and observing. I do not know if the dealer will accept a second swap or if there is any meaning in the sense that since this is an issue not confined to one batch it is almost certain it may happen in the 3rd camera (which will probably be from the same 04 batch)bsbeamer said:

It has worked flawlessly on my 7D2 up to now saving thousands of pictures (my 7D2 has taken more shots than my 2 5D3 and my previous 5D2 combined). Not all were saved on sd card I admit but half of them were for sure.neuroanatomist said:
EDIT: With previous format of course. A day after the incident I put it back, low level formatted it and then formatted again. I have setup my 5D4 again to record raw in cf and jpeg on sd to test this weekend...

Sounds like you're jumping to a conclusion. Leaping, actually. Err02 is a memory card error. Cards fail, and a defective SD port is not the most likely possibility here. Now, if you try multiple cards and get the same error, the slot is a reasonable explanation...but not for what is, so far as you've explained, a one-off issue with a single card.

Yes it is a one off that's why I will try again. I so much prefer the card to be the culprit. I have exchanged a 5D4 once and I do not want to do it again if I do not have to (better take pictures than put myself and the seller to stress and wait).neuroanatomist said:
But I never had any issues with Sandisk extreme cards up to now and suddenly that happens after the first few clicks with my 5D4 after a (not exactly same but) similar issue is reported so you must admit it is a strange coincidence. Possible of course but quite a coincidence!

Thanks to the current deals on memory cards I've ordered a replacement 256gb to run on cam 1. If it still flags up then there's a camera issue but I won't know this until the end of December when I've got two weddings.

No - just regular U3/C10.
That's interesting though - I would have thought that "V30" was just a simple designation/spec, as opposed to an actual change in the physical media - in other words, V30 and non-V30 (but still U3/C10) cards would be the same... Unless SanDisk felt the need to tinker with things with the newest generation of cards to meet the new standard? (edit: a Google search suggests that this isn't the case)

I would rather have an all or nothing issue. Now I do not feel comfortable. And yes it was a one off but I know my sandisk extreme pro cards have never exhibited any issues with the other cameras. I have ordered a different sd card (samsung pro+ 64gb) to test if I will get any issue...Act444 said:

Some thoughts. Maybe I could make it a little more scientific by running some write tests.
I do not have a specific program but I could connect it to a pc and transfer 55+ GB of data. I know it is not 100% conclusive but at least I would write all the flash memory of the sd card. I remember memory test programs that used to test memory by writing various bit patterns. I do not know of such utilities for flash cards (but I haven't searched yet anyway).
