My camera's SD card keeps un-formatting itself, I think. Just randomly, while I'm using my camera, I'll turn it off for a second so I don't waste the batteries, then turn it back on, and it will say "SD card not formatted", and the only way to fix it is to delete all the files! The first time there was nothing important, so i deleted them. But this time, I had pics I did not want to lose! So I'm tried a photo recovery software, and it worked! But I want to know: is it my camera, my SD card, or me? And what can I do to prevent this in the future? For now I'm trying a new SD card, and hopefully it won't happen again. My camera is a Nikon Coolpix L120, and my SD card is a centon class 4 hc 4GB card. Thanks!
Added (1). Thanks for your help! Everyone's suggesting SanDisk, and I like those, but my Mom gave me a memory card she thinks is a really good one, I think it's called a Kingston, or something like that. Does anyone know if the quality of those cards?
