I have the card and it does work. Every 100 videos or so I will have the "recording has automatically stopped" issue, but the card does work pretty darn well IMO.

From April-August I probably shoot thousands of video clips, so my camera gets a lot of work in the video department over that time. It does stink because during that time I am filming live events and can't have re-takes for when it does have that error, but still, its successful 99% of the time and I am ok with that.

This would be totally unacceptable to me.  What if that 100th or so was the once in a lifetime shot you could never hope to see again?

I have seen several "tales of woe" concerning what would be just that 1%.  If you're not filming those live events for a "client" then I guess it wouldn't matter that there was no possibility of a "retake".  I shoot mainly for myself but still would regret losing a take because I didn't pay a bit more for better and more reliable media.

I use SanDisk media and have NEVER seen a recording stop.  Canon techs often suggest a switch to SanDisk Extreme media when they hear a customer call and complain of just this.  Problem "goes away" for those who follow that suggestion.

I have the 32 bit card and it works just fine.  It's a bit slow though if you plan on taking jshots in long succession, it will just overheat and stop.  As far as video goes, it hadn't stopped on me yet, but I haven't really taken videos longer than 10 minutes before.

Same for this.  Overheating media is a signal that the media does not meet the specs the camera needs.  Overheated media has been one thing noticed when Patriot, A-Data, and Dane-Elec media fails (either stops the recording or just flat corrupts).  I've followed these issues on several forums for the last two and a half years.

A card that got hot on me would go in the trash.

I work for me, so I can only be mad at myself if something like that happens. I bought the card when I first bought the camera. The next time I buy a card, I will be buying a sandisk.... but I have been happy with the transcend card. What I do is not THAT important that missing a shot is going to make or break me.

You also make a living shooting for other people, so that makes a whole lot more sense. What I do isn't that important and the odds that I miss something that I can't get again is not likely, even as a live event.

No, I don't.  With rare exception my image making is for me.  But I used to and the "don't take a chance" attitude just sticks with me.  I shot for a living before digital came on the scene.  I've lost portions of a job due to pro lab "accidents" with no recovery possible so the very thought of losing something again leaves me with a very sick feeling in the pit of the stomach. 

I lost an irreplaceable negative when the lab I sent it to had a fire.  Now with digital I have everything stored on "mirrored" external hard drives so I'm somewhat protected there.

I did not mean to come across as "critical" of you in any way.

I have been using the Transcend cards for about 6 months now and have received the stop error once.
