Memory card failure

That is really scary! I'm glad it all worked out alright for you, Mark! How long are these cards suppose to last ...or how many photos? I have had one of cards for about as long as my camera, the others purchased maybe a year later. They are SanDisk also. I have noticed a few photos here and there that don't load onto my computer. I get a square with a broken jagged line through it in ZoomBrowser

These cards are electronic with no moving parts so they should last for 10+ years. I have some other cards that are 5 or 6 years old and still working fine.
For doing weddings you should replace them every couple of years. If you have had any problems with your cards I would replace them. Especially before you do your next wedding.
