I've never had a problem, I used Sandisk 60mbs cards in 4, 8 & 16GB

As opposed to what format were you expecting?

Oh, that makes me cringe. If you were using both card slots, did it corrupt both cards? As adamz says, I also use SanDisk Extreme Pro cards and touch wood, have never had a problem.

I had a similar problem but only when I'm using CH mode and cheap (relatively to sandisk) PQI 16GB cards. Unfortunately, in my case the photos are unrecoverable even through sandisk rescue pro.
Never had a single problem when using sandisk extreme.

Has anyone had an issue with a D3S corrupting the cf card. I tried different cards and it still happened.
I was able to recover the files with ScanDisk Rescue pro. The cf card was changed to a DOS fat format.
The cards were never near a Windows machine. Very weird.
