Just a thought about the faulty SxS card have you by any chance formatted in the incorrect format on your computer. Correct me if i am wrong but i believe it should be the FAT format option. However you should never format on the computer just use the camera it's safer. And if you are using SDHC cards then try to avoid formatting all together and just go to clip , delete all clips in the menu.
