I'd blame the card a lot sooner than the camera. I've had my k-5 indicate that file could not be written before. I forget the error. "Card write error" perhaps? I popped the card out and popped it back in. The file came up corrupt of course in lightroom. I usually take 2-3 shots anyways "just in case." I formatted the card on my computer overwriting every sector and it came up fine after that. I used that card for a long time with no ill effects. Flash is known to degrade and is designed to cope with that on the controller. It just marks blocks as bad and moves on. If you pay close attention you can watch a flash device slowly lose free space as you use it over time. Sorry if you lost an important shot. I'd just format the card or replace it if you still have problems with it. It never hurts to have a couple of extras in the bag anyways. I think a class 10 8gb card is what, $10 or so these days? Cheaper than two rolls of tri-x......
