I had one of 3 Transcend 1G cards result in complete failure, loosing about 400 pictures of Costa Rica birds. Neither the camera nor computer would recognize card after the shoot. Disk Doctors disassembled the card and hooked it up to test modules and ran multiple 5-6 hour tests to try to reconstruct data. Nothing worked as they said all the files were corrupted. This is the one disk that I shot until full with a Nikon D40X camera. Card was formated before use. I reviewed pictures as I shot and all seemed right.
They theorize that perhaps the card and camera did not communicate, but I shot only a couple of RAW format pictures over the capacity, so to me that does not seem logical it would corrupt everything. But not an expert.
The technician said not to fill up the card and use smaller cards so you don’t have all the shots in the same basket. I know there are a lot of professional photographers out there that read this forum, has anyone else run into this kind of problem before?
