That may happen depending on how you copy the files. I use ClipBrowser (always CRC ON) and that never happens. It is possible when using Finder (drag and drop or deleting clips) the OS writes and invisible file to the card (another reason never to drag and drop IMHO). The camera sees the "alien" file and sees it as a metadata issue and thus, "Restore Media."

I only delete clips in ClipBrowser or from the camera menu.

After seeing those figures, looks even more like a bad batch problem. Can you confirm they were all brand new cards, that you hadn't been using them successfully in the past?

Well, those test results are indeed revealing and explain why you are having problems. If the SDHC card cannot support 48fps at 1080/24p or 25p then it simply does not have the headroom to manage the data burst as the camera writes its cache to the memory card. This has been thoroughly debated on that very lengthy thread concerning SDHC memory cards.

It is also worth noting that SxS cards also need some time, when the red light is on after stopping the record process -- while the camera writes out its cache to storage. This latter characteristic is just the way the EX camera works regardless of how fast your storage card/medium is.
