You might have a POS card. You may want to stick with more mainstream cards, like SanDisk, Kingston, Lexar, Transcend .... However, why not borrow and try to use some other cards before getting any more nervous. See how they work in your camera, card reader, and with your computer. Also, see how the card you now have works with other card readers and computers. You gotta isolate the cause before trying to attribute blame. I wouldn't be too quick to blame the camera.
