Thanks for that additional info and your findings, Ciprian. I'm glad
to hear that you were able to extract shots from the damaged
filesystem.
What you suggest about the card reader could be possible I suppose. I
was hoping that there might have been a bug in the K-3's firmware that

I'm reviving this old thread because something similar happened to
me today, similar to what Bruce reported. (Rob's case --- the initial
email of the old thread --- is different I guess, because his card
wasn't read even by his camera.)
Although I didn't loose any photos (I think), I hope

I wouldn't expect it to switch back immediately when card #1 was
replaced, but if you replace #1 with an empty card, will it switch back
to card #1 when card #2 gets full?

As I posted a few weeks ago, I rented a Panasonic GX7 that was acting
flaky until I reformatted the card in the camera. Maybe reformatting on
the computer

OK, that's interesting because when I have replaced the slot 1 card
without the slot 2 card being at capacity the subsequent shots started
to accumulate immediately on the first card again as far as I can
recall.

Thanks guys, still coming to terms with the issue.
The cards were all genuine Sandisk, Extreme 32GB 45MB/s, one new and
one old and an earlier Extreme 32GB 30MB/s card, none of which ever
gave me the remotest hint of a problem when used in two K5 bodies. Not
happy.

Sorry to hear of your difficulties, Rob.
May I ask what brand the cards are?
As you may know SanDisk offers a recovery software. In addition to
that, there are these:

I'm very sorry to hear this, Rob. I wonder if you are seeing a similar

The Mac unmounted the card shortly after insertion saying it had
damaged formating. And I c
