It's news to me. Injection molded connectors are easy to produce while maintaining tight tolerances, so I'm skeptical of that warning.
Many people have had pictures lost even with "good" cards, so that claim sounds more like a scare tactic.
Personally, I think I'll continue to go with SanDisk Extreme, as they have really good warranty (lifetime guarantee). I'm also concerned with knowing I have honest specs so I"m getting the data rates claimed for the product.

According to Interfoto the cheap memory cards doesn't fit too well physically and can damage the camera. Their service department report pins that are either broken or even forced into the camera itself.
In addition there has been problems with pictures disappearing when "the card crash".
Interfoto recommends Sandisk and Lexar, as well as Microdrives from IBM/Hitachi. (Interfoto is the Norwegian Lexar distributor btw)
Has anyone else heard something similar?
