Love the Tree Sparrow image, that bird has done a great job at eluding my lens the last couple weeks;-) Shame about your mem card, did try to recover it? I had same issue a couple weeks ago and was able to get the pics back after some work. When I tried to load the images through my card reader or straight from the camera to Aperture it stated no pictures, but when I used the software that came with the camera (image browser for Canon) I was able to get the pics off the card into a folder, if that doesn't work the Mem Card company should offer a free recovery tool which you usually can get the pics back, even if you've already formatted card! Hope that helps as I hate to hear about anybody losing images due to card failure.
