Nikon D200 question

I just finished shooting a big skateboard and wakeboard competition. By the end of the day I had killed one battery and the other was almost dead. Filled 4 two-gig cards (shooting Fine jpg (L)). Lots of 5FPS and 3FPS shooting. (the little green "writing to card" LED was on most of the day)  While processing the 2100+ shots I noticed that some of them aparently have. Some meaning 50 or so out of the 2100. The errors caused ACDSee to not be able to batch rotate them but ACDSee could open them in edit mode, edit them, rotate and save them. One file the thumb was fine but the photo would not open in the editor (it actually did open, but only 8-10 pixels of black were across the screen).

Is this a "Nikon thing" ? or should I call Nikon Support?  (I hate calling them, every time I do I end up giving them money)

Bob,

What kind of cards were you using?  I have a cheap 4G card (I don't have it with me and I can't remember who made it) that I have seen some problems with when shooting JPEGs.  Nikon actually has a list of "approved" cards at least for the D200 and D80.  I have never seen the problem with my Lexar or Sandisk cards.

That pretty much jibs with my experience.  I don't often shoot that fast (on purpose) which could be why I have trouble nailing this down.  Nikon USA has a pretty forum where you can post questions for response from Nikon techs.  This might be a pretty good question for them.
