T2i not saving pictures properly

Recently, my photos haven't been saving completely on my SD card. I'll take the picture, it'll play back with the play button, but when I go to load it onto the computer, it says there is something wrong with the file. Even then, it says "Can not playback image" on the camera when I put the SD card back in. I've tried reformatting the card, but I'm still running into the problem.

Has anyone else seen this? I don't have another card to test, so I don't know if it's a problem with the card or with the camera. Thanks.

It's a 16gb Promaster Class 6 card. Now it says "Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change the card or format card with camera.". I'm guessing my card's just worn out, but I didn't think that really happened.

What format are you saving your pictures as, RAW or Jpeg?

Your card is corrupted. Get another one

this is what i was leading to. if other cards work in your camera, your card just died, time to grab a new one. if other cards dont work either, time to get on the horn with canon, theres a problem with how the camera is writing to the card.

Got a new card yesterday, and it's been working fine so far. Thanks for the help everyone.

If you're interested, here's a shot that came out of the card:

I had tried to reformat it in the camera, but hadn't given it a shot on my computer yet. I'll see if that makes any difference. It'd be great to finally have 2 cards to shoot with.

And just for clarification, that picture was unedited from the old card while it was malfunctioning. Not really sure what happened there.

Based on that picture, Id almost lean towards it being the camera/card set up. I dont think either of them are bad, but put the two together and you will get that.

The only reason I am suggesting that is because I used to get those exact same pictures on my old camera with 2 certain cards. But I use those cards on my current camera and never have a problem. I also never had a problem when I used different cards on my old camera.
