Do you have any idea of how or why the cards failed?  I have never heard 
of this so am interested.  Does your camera report that the save to disk 
was ok but then later you find no photos? Or...?

I have a digital camera that uses CF cards also. One of my concerns is 
the fairly large force required to seat the card in the cameras 
connector.  It makes me wonder if it might wear out sooner rather than 
later.  But as for failed operations, I have yet to see any although I 
have only taken a few thousand shots so far. And this was distributed 
over four cards.
