Hello, I have been shooting with an R3 for the past 18 months or so using the same gear, a 400 2.8, 70-200 2.8 and a 16-35 2.8, all Canon lenses and have had no problems, until the other day. I was shooting, using the same cards as well, and kept getting BUSY message. I have never experienced this and was not shooting any differently than a hundred times before. It happened with both cards, a Lexar SD 128GB, 1800x, 270 MB/s and Pro Grade CF Express 128 1700MB/s
I pulled the battery and reset it and reinserted the cards, but it happened again.
After it happened, I uploaded the latest firmware, but I can't imagine that was the reason. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks!

JRH13,
You might try putting fresh cards in.

Kind of strange it would happen with both cards on the same day, don't you think?
