Trying to resolve error - Variable does not exist: Id

I have been trying to find out what's wrong with some apex code. I started seeing compile errors, so I reduced the code to the most basic code to try to find the issue, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Here's the stripped down version of my code:  
 public with sharing class ContactTriggerHandler {

     public static void UpdateOptLogs(List<Contact> newContacts) {

        //Read the new values of the Contact object 
        for (Contact contactObj: newContacts)
        {
            system.debug(' contactObj.Id : ' + contactObj.Id);
        }
    }
}

I get an error : Result: [OPERATION FAILED]: ContactTriggerHandler: Variable does not exist: Id (Line: 6, Column: -1)


Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure that the handler methods can be static. You might try your method definition as just

public void UpdateOptLogs(List<Contact> newContacts) {

...

@ram, there's no other class called 'Contact in the org. This is the standard contact object. In any case, the Id field will be present on any object.
@Abu, I am getting the error on the code that I posted in the initial post. 
@JeffreyStevens, I have other existing handler classes in the same org that are static. These compiled successfully and are deployed to the production org. I will change this class to a non-static class and try it out to eliminate this possibility.

@JeffreyStevens, changing to a non-static method didn't make a difference.

public void UpdateOptLogs(List<Contact> newContacts) {

Can you confirm that is Id (Eye D)  and not ld ( EL D).

Otherwise, try lastname and see if it works or not (if not then it's the object, if it works then it's the field)

As a common practice, if your question is answered, please choose 1 best answer.
But you can give every answer a thumb up if that answer is helpful to you.

Thanks

It is Id (Eye D) . I did try using a couple of other fields and got the same error.

Can you post your code that is calling the  class ContactTriggerHandler ?
Thx

I didn't get around to closing this issue. I did find a class in my org called contact. This was conflicting with the definition of the standard contact object. I deleted this class and the issue was resolved.
