The other possibility is the D8's infamous misload. There are reams of
posts on recording boards about this problem and it seems to be very
common among the Sony D7 & D8 models. For the two years I used the D8, I
never had one, but lot of folks have, so this is another possibility. If
you look up some of those posts, take a look at either <http://
