After 2 weeks of playing around with the camera, I finally take it to my kids birthday party - power it up - and get a memory card error. The night before I was recording with no problems as I have over the course of 2 weeks.

So here I am pretty pissed and frustrated. My wife remembers the Canon Elph we have also uses an SDHC memory card so I stick that card into the GH1 - luckily she carries the Elph in her bag.

I only had room for 30 min of video instead of the 2 hrs I planned for.. ok, I'll take it..

So I record and snap photos for the next few hours. Come home that eve and stick the card into my reader ... all looks well so far. I start a drag and drop and let it go.

I come back 10 min later to some errors on screen. I look at the HD and see nothing copied - I look at the SD card and it cant read it properly.

2 Different cards - both with memory card errors and so far I'm 0 for 5 with recovery software luck. Nothing can be found from either card and I am (prob not as much as the wife) pretty ticked.

Never lost digital photos out of the thousands I've shot over the years and this really frustrates me.

Any ideas? Anyone have this happen to them? Would you think the camera is making them corrupt somehow? I'm lost at this point... Thought it was the mem card first, but it happened on 2 diff cards - one new (adata), one older (transcend). Now I'm geared towards shipping the cam back for exchange.. I dunno.

Thanks..
