Had my GF1 for a few weeks but not really used it much due to lack of time.
My main card is a Sandisk 8Gb Ultra II SDHC purchased from Amazon uk.
I thought I had previously noticed some photos had gone missing from my card a short while after taking them but I just thought I had imagined it.
But today I seem to have certain proof that over 50 photos I took a short while before taking a few video recordings were overwritten / lost.
I went walkabout in Epping Forest and took around 50 JPG photos - they were definitely recorded as I stopped on several occasions and viewed the photos and showed some to my wife as well - going back quite a few shots each time - so they were definitely there. And at No time did I use the delete function on any of the photos.
Right at the end of the walk I remembered the Video function so decided to take some video footage - 4 individual clips totalling about 4.5 mins.
I got home and tried to download the photos and found no photos from today. Only the video footage and photos from a few weeks ago.
The card is still showing nearly 5GB free - so its not a case of running out of space or something!
My wife was gutted and wishes she had taken her compact Sony instead. She hates when I change gadgets and wonders why I switched from Nikon to Lumix - never lost any shots on the Nikon!
I am planning to go on holiday soon and was looking forward to using the GF1 - now I just don't know what to do.
Is it the camera or the card??
