I never had any issues with either the SD or CF cards..except I purchased a Canon 7D which uses CF cards and didn't want to pay the high price of the CF cards so bought an adaptor. It works great 90% of the time. The only trouble I have is when I do a lot of rapid shots. The adaptor heats up and makes the SD card not work sometimes. I ended up buying a CF card at a good price on line and use it if I am going to do rapid shots for an extended period. Other than that I have no problems. And Artfuldiver...not to fear I think the CF's will be here for a long time :-)

I have never had a problem with any of my SD cards. I did, however, had a problem with a class 4 card that was too slow for video. I thought it was a bad card but turns out it just wasn't fast enough. Of course I have all my stuff backed up on 10 different hard drives!

I can't resist responding since it might be a little interesting -- I have lost a few photos on one card or two depending on how you count. It may have been my fault I can't quite figure. It was a wedding and I was using my D7000 with two SD cards. Somehow I had the camera get stuck and trying to review the last couple photos found that both cards had the same problem. I have shooting digital since 2007.

I just had an sd card go bad for the first time ever. I use both slots on my D7000, so it was backed up. I have always taken my card out to download it, and this was probably what ruined the card. I am going to start downloading directly from the camera.

Possible write error being the huge file size on the D7000? I can only assume you were shooting raw and possibly with jpeg as well?

Never lost a file . . . but I have gotten a bad card once or twice!
They were bad from the "git-go".

Never lost anything on CF cards for 7D; however, before I shoot I always look at one picture to verify I've transferred its files to my computer, then format in camera. This way, I know I have a clean card and that it works.

I'll turn the question around as "Who has lost things from either a SD or CF card?" My answer is, I have! Both. I won't talk about brands because, after all, electronics pretty much is a theory that works or not, period. But I have had CF cards that simply refused to work in anything but my computer and be unrecognized and unformattable in my cameras. On the other hand, I have through either operator error (most likely) or some other dumb occurrence, lost photos form SD cards. Never had one quit altogether. So the $64.00 question, if that doesn't date me too terribly, is: How to retrieve them? Who can suggest a (preferably) free program for getting photos back that have not been overwritten on a flash card?
Thanks in advance for the information.
