Almost lost my holiday photos with NX500

I've read a few reports of issues with NX500 and "card error", so I'm assuming it's relatively widespread issue. My NX500 periodically pops this error asking me to reinsert the card (Samsung PRO btw) and usually the issue goes away when I do what it asks once, maybe twice. However, while on vacation it popped the message and I rushed to do it to continue shooting, so I reinserted the card without powering the camera off between the steps and...bam! everything is lost. Upon inserting it asked to reformat the card and couldn't access any of the photos. It had 3 days worth of photos I took halfway across the world from home.

Luckily, SanDisk card repair software was able to recover around 70% of files even though windows didn't recognize the card and asked to format.

Did this happen to anyone else? How many of you have issues with random "card error" messages?

Cheers
