As most people know the D800 has various issues with CF cards, I was considering trying the Duracell 600x 32gig CF which is basically because it's only £46 which seems to be a very good price from a reputable brand, but does anyone have any experience with it in the D800?
 
I've got 2 of the 16Gb 600x and 2 of the 16Gb 300x Duracell cards and have not had any problems with them whatsoever. I have a internal USB3 card reader in the computer and the write speeds from the cards are very impressive on it.

I've also got 6 various sized SDHC Duracell cards and not had any problems with those either. I've had all my cards since I got a 7D and 5D2 back in september 2011 and have used them regularly since and taken thousands of photos with them. I have got a Sandisk 4Gb CF which has had around 40 shots taken with it and not used since I got the Duracell cards. I rate them very highly and would happily recommend them to anyone.
 
All working fine with Canon then, any of you know anyone in the Nikon camp who can vouch for these working in the D800?
 
I would include "D800" in the title, maybe post in the D800 owners thread as well? Otherwise you'll continue to get non-D800 specific responses...
 
Hi, I don't know if this is any help but I have several Kingston CF cards that I used in a D200. I re-formatted them in my D800 but when I tried them the 1gb cards were fine but it just said "card error" when I tried the 4gb and larger cards. I then purchased some Sandisk CF cards and all is fine.

As an added note I get them from My Memory via ebay. The price is very good and all are the genuine product. Hope this helps.

Cheers, I'll take a look :)
 
I have been using Duracell 300x 8GB with my D800 and have experienced no problems whatsoever - HOWEVER there are reports of fake Duracell cards, so get them from a reputable source.
