Any luck with the usual turn off, clean contacts stick it back on? also note the EF alignment mount. (I'm sure you knew that tho)

1) Try camera with another lens to ensure camera (and CF card are still OK)
2) Fully charge battery
3) Check lens contacts

Was it from e-bay or a retailer mate? Hopefully you can run thru the few tests and if no joy get a replacement!

When turned on the camera says 'Err cf' and when I try and format the card I get 'Err 99'
Always happens to me

Steve,
Make sure you've not bent a pin inserting the CF card.... 
They can be bent back CAREFULLY.
Try another card.
Error 99 is a generic error code, might be a faulty lens or contacts, or just follow error 'cf' if the camera throws a wobbly...try another lens.
Power off when swapping card or lens
