Memory card issue with 7d (kind of urgent)
I have a 7d and a sandisk card that I have been using together for over a year... we are currently visiting DC, and I was just taking some longer exposure shots in the Marta station. When I went to set up for another one, my camera said "cannot access memory card... reinsert or format card"... I don't have another card with me (not a proffessional shoot), and my laptopis at the hotel so I can't see if it is the camera or the card that has the issue... is there anything I can try aside from removing the card and retrying? I've done that several times, and tried removing the battery pack too... I know I can try to find a place to buy another card to avoid having to reformat this one right now.... thanks!

if you do this you will lose everything you have already shot, and it may not get you up and running again, but that is all I can think of without a laptop or other resources.

I'd buy another card ASAP either way, I mean it's a huge risk to EVER shoot with just one memory card for this exact reason. Even if you NEVER would fill up a single memory card, you should have two or three with you.

Personally, I use PhotoRescue Pro / Expert, from http://datarescue.com I think, not sure if that's the right website...
I've never *lost* a card completely, I've always been able to recover MOST images off a card. (Usually when a card goes bad like this, it's just one image that is truly corrupted, the rest are fine) ...EXCEPT for totally fake Sandisk Ultra II cards that other friends have bought on eBay and then asked me to try and run recovery on... (Done that 2-3 times for friends, which is why I HIGHLY recommend staying away from anything other than authorized dealers... :-)

Thanks guys... I found Zero Assumption Recovery (ZAR) online the other night and while it took a LONG time (889 18mp JPEGs if I remember correctly) almost all of them were recovered... only a few show as full pics as thumbnails, but only load about halfway when you try to open them... still WAY better than losing them all. One cool thing about ZAR is that the free demo works fully for pictures indefinitely... so you only have to get the paid version if you're working with other files.
