I think you need to always carry one more card than you need too just in case no matter what brand card you choose to use. Its not good to be erasing photos you dont want to erase EVER of course.
Why did you have to reformat the "full" card instead of just deleting the files you didn't want to make space and keeping the files you did? jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Stenquist Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 10:18 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: OT: Transcend Card Failure I've had my first card failure in three years of shooting digital. I went out to a gallery tonight that has shown my work a couple of times. They had someone else's show opening, and I wanted to suck up and shoot some pics for them. I left with a full card in my camera that included some walkaround pics from this afternoon and a lot of snaps of Grace. I took that card out and inserted a Transcend 2 gig, 150X that has been in the card holder in the battery grip. It had some previous work on it, so I went to format it. The formatting failed repeatedly. Wouldn't do it. So I had to reinsert the card that was full and format it. I hadn't downloaded the shots that were on it. There were a few good ones that I wanted. But I had to shoot this opening. In any case, it's a failure for a Transcend card. I'm going back to Sandisk. The bargain Transcend cards are far more expensive if they are failure prone. One time is one time too many.
