Card read problem K20d. Have you had this problem?

I just upgraded from a K10d to a K20d. My Kingston SD6/4gb card would not display pictures that have been shot. This is the same card I used in my K10D with no problems. I get a black screen that says "cannot display image". I got a replacement card from Kingston, and had the same result. All of my slower cards work great. They are also Kingston cards. My question for everyone is, have you had a problem with high speed cards in your K20d?

That's what I'm wondering. If so, how would I correct it?

People have had similar problems (me included). Try getting a Sandisk.

I find the Kingston cards are garbage. I have a 4GB SDHC Kingston card and it just spits back problems. I just got an ATP Pro MAx 16GB card, it's awesome.

I have used Sandisk Ultra II, Lexar Platinum 60X, Kingston Class 6 and Transcend Class 6 cards. Never had a problem.

My kingston cards work fine in the k20d. save the images to another disk and if you haven't done so already, reformat the sd card and try it again

Here's a similar thread: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/39550-corrupted-files.html

I've had the same problem with an A-Data 16Gb on a K20D. I'm guessing it's the card but will wait to see what the seller says.
