I know people who have had their cards for years that show no signs of failing. I don't reformat very often. I import my (JPEG) images into Apple's iPhoto and let it delete the images of the card. I've never had any problems. The only times I got corrupted cards was when I took them out of the camera and put them into a card reader. Grrrr! Anyway, I was able to recover 99% of the photos and a reformatting by the camera fixed the problem. Thanks for that peace of mind message there Richard! =]
