I was doing some studio shots just now and never turned off the camera in between. Used RAW.

Took about 10 shots in 5 minutes and turned the camera off. I checked the card with my computer, and only the last 2 files are there. I plugged the card to my camera and checked the image browser. No files visible. Checked format menu and it said 94mb used. I have had the feeling, that some photos were missing..

Is this a common issue?

I don't know then, I know there is a canon-lexar compatibility problem on some models. I have no ideea.

Spend the extra money on good cards. I lost a whole set of team photos because of some cheap CF card. Humiliation was the key word here!

So cheap cards actually do lose photos
crap...

Any suggestions for a cheap and reliable 512-1024mb card under $100?

I have a couple of really slow cards that have not given me any problems. One is Lexar and the other is SanDisk. By slow, I mean I have to have the USB 2.0 card reader plugged into a USB 1.1 port so the transfer rate is not too fast for the cards. These are dirt cheap now.

I haven't tried any of the faster cards..... yet ....
