Just a tale of woe, and a warning!.
A couple of weeks ago I filled up the 128 MB CF card thats usually in my Canon Powershop A80 and put my spare 128MB card in. After taking half a dozen or so pictures it displayed a "Card Error" message. I ejected the card and re-seated it and everything then seemed O.K. Since then I have been getting strange problems with the camera powering down, or not powering up. At one time I thought that the interlock for external cover of the CF card was going faulty because just by opening the cover and then closing it caused the camera to restart working, at another time I thought the power button was U/S and that the batteries had suddenly lost power.
Eventually I changed back to my original 128MB CF card and all the problems have gone away!.
Both are "Viking" from 7Dayshop.com. It just seems that one is faulty!.
