Any ideas why one just one occasion (out of hundreds use) some images
'dissappear' from the memory card. I make a point of never deleting images
using the camera delete option (its only a extra keypress on a small screen
to delete ALL) , but some important images dissapeared between being shot,
(visible on the built-in screen) and presumably hitting the memory. That day
the camera was turned off and on many times, so it was reset frequently, and
yet images from five small shooting sessions dissappeared. I did try to use
image recovery software, but as I continued to use the camera, (and filled
the card) and evidence of the images went too.
I can't repeat this, and its only happened once, but it reduces confidence.
I have experienced on a couple of occassions, 'lock-up' where when switching
the camera on, it hasn't initialised correctly, and whilst the display is
then operational, its not possible to shoot images. Turn off, turn on again
and alls fine. I guess that may be 'heat' during summer outdoor use (which
incedentally is where nearly all photography takes place for me).
Has anyone experienced 'image loss' or 'lock up' , what's the cause, or is
it me.?

Use film, moron!
