SD Cards NOT Reliable - Rant and need answers just bought a Panasonid HD SD600

[PhilipD]

I have a DVX100 for weddings, but wanted something as a backup recently.

So I looked at a £450 camera.

The SD600 looked like the best one with 3 cmos and great reviews.

I bought both the camera and Lexar 32GB SDHC Memory card at £100

Yet today I went to the wedding and filmed at the highest setting - 1080 50P

It recorded for a while, I stopped maybe every 30 seconds for clips.

And suddenly (Error Reading from card)

Surely this SD card is fit for filming, as the camera says that it takes SDHC & SDXC

If it's not meant for the highest camera setting then shouldn't it warn against this?

Does anyone know whether I should take the camera or the SD card back?

It works ok at the quality below 1080 50P

What is the class designation on the card?

Maybe you should have tested the system before using it for something like a wedding?

I have shot literally terabytes of information on SD cards and never had a problem. Brands used were Kingston and Transcend, both Class 6 and Class 10.
