This shows the problems when one hasnot proper back up gear.
I'm typing this in the middle of the night, it is 2.30 over here, as I will be leaving soon to cover a wedding in Germany.
Yesterday evening I prepared my gear for the job. Fresh batteries, empty cards etc,, but there suddenly showed a problem. My 2 Gb cards showed only 56 instead of 79 Gb, whatever I did. As I needed my rest badly, I still went to bed, puzzling what could be the cause.
When I got up, one 2Gb card worked well in My S3 although the other gave problems in both cameras. I 'm so lucky, I still do have my D80 as a back up camera! So, unfortunately, my Fuji S3 has to do the job, my S2 stays home (with the 2Gb card) and the D80 is used as a stand by camera. I wouldnot have to think of leaving for a job a few hundred miles from home without some spare equipment!
If someone might know a solution to this problem, it will make me quite happy when I return.
