Just format your card. I use the cheapest class II's I can find. Zero problems. Hours and hours of footage. Car mount. Hazer. Hand held. Dolly. Speedrail. Crane. No issues here.

Thank you Jack Daniel Stanley, thank YOU.

Personal experience: Transcend blows!

They are cheap for a reason and will let you down when you least expect it. For peace of mind, spend the money on a better brand card.

Transcend and Kingston are both unstable brands from my experiences and my peers. So far the best bang for your buck is the Patriot Class 6. For over a year I've used and abused the card in my HF10 shooting continuously to the 2+hour capacity at full res time and time again without a hiccup.

Of course I format everytime I clear the card, as everyone should.

Because of the Patriot's reliability I bought the same card for my GH-1 and haven't had any issues so far.

$32 for a Patriot Class 6 16gb at Fry's.

Were they on sale or something? I looked one up at they're $39.99 now...or do I have the wrong card?

I'd put Transcend in anything (until today) before Kingston...Kingston isn't "good brand" for me...I

I'm going to disagree about Kingston. Used 3x 8GB class 6 cards cards very heavily for a feature film over 18-days. Never lost any data and each card was under $25 (including tax) from Fry's.

I've also used an 8GB class 6 SanDisk Extreme III which cost me almost $90 at Best Buy (what was close an open at the time). I've noticed no appreciable difference between the SanDisk and the Kingston.

Well one difference, I forgot about the SanDisk and it went through a 54-minute wash cycle in my pants pocket, then 45-minutes in the dryer bouncing around. Card still works just fine. Haven't tried a laundry "test" with the Kingston.

I have a 16GB card, but personally I prefer the 8GB card size for production. More recording time then we need, inexpensive to purchase (cheaper than an HDCAM tape), and 8GB transfers over USB2 really quickly. If 8GB get's discontinued and there's a "blow out sale" on 8GB class 6 cards I'm going to buy 100.

So far the best bang for your buck is the Patriot Class 6.

I have to agree that Patriot makes some outstanding cards. Quite often they are within a couple bucks of the Kingston. I've purchased the higher capacity Patriots for use as thumb drives, and they've also been flawless.

This thread I just started may be interesting for those reading this thread http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?p=1722179#post1722179.
It is a comparison of SDCH card brands according to users reviews.

I'm happy with Sandisk Ultra II....they're 2 x 4gb for $30 @ Costco.
