How can you format the car without deleting the last file written?? I reformat as soon as I've transfered the files to a hard drive. (Or to two hard drives if they're important shots.) Haven't had any card problems recently other than a born-dead Transcend. The only other problems I've ever had were due to physical damage to SD cards, usually the lock.
