Most likely what is happening is that the camera is being switched off while it is still busy emptying the buffer to the card, and this of course is resulting in corrupt files. The same thing will happen to any computer if you switch off power while it is writing a file to storage. Depending on what you are doing there can be quite a lag period while the processing is going on, particularly in operations that tend to fill up the buffer, such as burst shooting, video or long exposures.

Yep you're right. It actually makes me feel better knowing what caused the file corruptions. I guess I can get a better micro sd card for faster write speeds but I think ultimately the samsung processor is just slow. That's ok with me though, since the camera is so cheap and it's so great at everything else.
