Geoff_M said:It's good practice to periodically reformat your cards in-camera. I do it before every use. The two things often associated with images getting corrupted on cards are:
1) Never reformatting it (btw, always reformat in the camera, not on a PC).
2) Deleting images off of a card from a computer or saving edited images to the card from a computer.

We took 490 photos at an airshow. I can see them on the camera but they will not download to the computer... says all the files are corrupted. This is the third time... 80 photos came out, 410 did not. We lost some really fun photos
