First bad card
For the first time I put a card in my camera and got a "check card" error. I couldnt format it or anything the weird part is it was one of the Panasonic 8 gigs that I hardly every used. Only a few times. oh well at least it happend before the shoot.

Hi Randy
My only card failure made me "blackball" the card so I don't use it again. I was up to probably the 15th or so clip (doing a property shoot where we do one room per clip) the camera went into record perfectly and I shot around 3 minutes of footage but it never went out of record. I just turned the cam off, took out the card and used a new one. I should have copied the previous 15 clips over and then seen if the recovery software could save the 16th clip but I didn't!! After formatting the card worked fine but as it failed around the 4GB mark I will never know if the card would do the same thing after recording 4GB of data...it was safer to just scrap it. Chris |

Hmmm, haven't had any problems with my 16gb Panny Class 10's yet. I haven't some close to filling either of them yet though either.

I'm looking at buying 16gb Hoodman cards. They boast a zero failure rate. Anybody have any experience with them or think they are worth the money? A 16gb will run me about $90.

Sounds about par, price-wise, with the ATP Promax SDHC cards -- they also have a good reputation, and are industrial rated. The Sandisk Extreme SDHC cards also draw favorable reviews.
I not familiar with the Hoodman.
