Hello

I have this annoying issue for months now, i thought i'd search for an answer here.

I'm shooting with a Canon EOS Mark III set on RAW and 2GB CF cards (Lexar&Sandisk). Most of the times I
fill up a card the last frame is corrupt. so i have to manually trash it from the cards folder
before i let image ingerster, download it, or else it
reports a bad ingestion, and stops.

Anybody has had a similar issue?

Yes - and I never fill up a card anymore. Writing RAW files onto a 2 gb card doesn't allow very many images, hence the temptation to squeeze in as many as possible, where the final write is corrupt. I would guess most of the newer cameras check or guess at available space, but camera file systems are probably not as sophisticated as computer file systems, and probably can't tell how much space is actually available.

Never, but different equipment. Are you reformatting your card each time before using it again?
