I have a K20 that I use for a third camera at weddngs. It has recently started producing random blurred images. SR is enabled and it started doing this about a couple weeks ago and it seems to be getting worse. almost every second frame looks like this. not sure what it is. anyone ever had this happen before? it has a shutter count of 97,000 so i think it's time to retire it. see the attached side by side of 2 frames one right after the other. settings are f5.6 1/125 sec at iso 800. the lens i have on is the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II LD.
Thanks for your input

i tried a bunch of different recovery software and managed to pull 2 files off the card. Photorescue advanced found the most files and worked the best. However all the preveiws are showing up at around an average of 112kb in size. I cant seem to recover any full res files other than 2, very frustrating. I have learned a good lesson and I am going to start using smaller cards 4 or 8 gb and back up as i go.

Rupert, was it also happening when the counter rolled and the camera created a new folder?

Ok I'll try and explain this the best I can. I was shooting a job yesterday and my
K5 ate some files.
I had shot about 400 images on a Lexar 16gb Platinum SD Card. Then the counter rolled as I had reached IGP9999, so a new folder was created automatically by the camera to start back at IGP0001. Folder one was called 100_0730 and the new folder to was called 101_0731. All normal. However anything that was written in the new folder was wiped as soon as you turned off the camera. I repeated this about 3 times and all the new images that started after the counter rolled and went into the new folder would go bye bye once the camera was turned off. Now the really strange thing is that the image counter on the lcd of the camera accounted for all the images that had been taken, but they clearly werent on the card. I loaded the card on a laptop and the new folder was there but no files and it said 0 bytes in the folder. I suspected a card error so I loaded the card into my k-20 and there was no issue at all. I tried another card in my K5 and there was no problems either. I tried the card that was giving me problems back into my K5 this morning and the issue seems to have resolver itself as the new images are now staying on the card.
So my question is has anyone expeirienced this before? It seems to have something to do with the counter wrapping and the images not writing properly to the new folder. Very confusing and was extremely frustrating.
