I just want to share my experience with a Kingston 32GB 133x. Last weekend after 1 our of filmig on this card my HVR-Z7P the MRC 1 showed me "Format error". At home my PC did not read the information and asked me if i want to format the card. It was a crucial footage. Luckily I could recover the data whit a data recovery program and i lost a fiew minutes of material.
I am using Transcend 32GB 133x card from over a year with no problems. I have tested the Kingston 32GB card but gust for a short time and not for real job. My Kingston 32GB i have used for several months in my Canon 5D Mark II and had no problems.
If so something happens Do not take any action after "Format error" remove immediatly the card, do not format it when your PC ask for that, and use a recovery program to copy your data from the card.
I do not recommand the Kingston 32GB 133x for HVR-Z7, how i mantioned it works werry well with Canon 5d mk II.
