Folk tales. It could have been true in the very early days of
photography, with bugs in the FAT handling in the camera firmware. I
can't believe recent cameras suffer from this.

I have myself performed several hundreds transfer sessions (and the
corresponding erasures) from my FZ8 and I have yet to see a card failure.
