Bad cards & Card Errors

Haven't shot anything important yet with the HMC150 but will be shooting some weddings in the near future and wanted to get some info regarding card errors. From your experience or experiences you've heard about, how does it usually go down?

Do you get an error when first trying to record and then have to swap it for a good card?

Does it give an error in the middle of recording? If so, do you loose all the data up to the error point? Does it corrupt the entire card (even the clips that had been saved earlier)?

Lastly, I just picked up a few Sandisk Ultra II class 4 100x cards at the local warehouse store. Is this going to work (well) the HMC150?

Thanks!

I've had a couple of times when my SD100 has reported a card error. Both times I simply removed the card and re-inserted it, it was then fine. Not had this problem with my HMC151 though, in a year of use.
 
Good to hear about the HMC151. When it happene on the SD100, did you lose any data on the card? Something I'm a little freaked out about.

No, it was fine after being re-inserted. I think it was probably just poor contact due to dust etc? I've used both cards without problems since then. The error was reported as soon as the card was inserted in both occasions.
