A couple of times it did record stuff but with HUGE glitches to the video and audio, rendering it usless. It would also stop recording without me pressing anything. I tested out the cam with taking multiple pics in a row to see if that would have any effect and it did. Multiple pics said "cannot view" . Perhaps it was just a faulty card, but it scared me big time. I'm shooting a wedding in a couple of days and cannot afford for this to happen. My primary is a EX1 so I'm safe.. No problems yet with the Sandisk.

I had the exact same thing happened to me with the patriot 16 gb card. I then bought a Sandisk class 10 extreme and haven't had any issues since then.

I bought two brand new class 16 patriot cards a few weeks ago. One didn't work at all and the other failed after about 15 clips, only one of which was viewable. I promptly returned both cards and got cheaper class 4 PNY's that are still flawless 500 clips later.
