What is this!!!!!????
New problem with my D3s?? Or could this be card related? When it was noticed I was thinking it was a problem with my Sandisk 32. But it did it on each card to varying degrees. Some fights were 10pics some were none. I am bummed.

If the pins are OK, it sounds like the camera will need repairs.

Have you tried each of these cards in another camera as well?
I have seen this kind of thing with a defective card, while the camera body was fine, so just be careful about what you assume. I am not saying it is not the camera, but I think that has not been totally proven without answering Joel and my questions.
Joel's suggestion is worthwhile.

I suspect it was a problem with the card, and not the camera itself. Still not sure why it only happened with LR tho.

Yeah, this CAN happen on import. That's why you verify the transfer thoroughly before formatting, haha.
Shoot some more images, and try downloading them on various card readers, using various methods.
Personally, I avoid using Lightroom for downloading for this very reason; I always download my images manually using explorer / finder. Can't get any more basic than that.

Maybe consider getting more cards so that you don't have to re-use / format full cards at the event?

Loaded up the last one last night and unfortunately, it was perfect. I didn't have one corrupt file out of 535 images. This was with a card that was giving me issues earlier. I am leaning toward the card reader. It is mounted into the PC card slot in my laptop. Maybe it has an issue? It seems most of the images I had problems with were from the first half of the night.
I'm now remembering, I briefly had the same issue on a couple of files a couple of months ago. It was shortly before the card reader on my computer crapped out. I now use plug-in readers, haven't had any more issues. May or may not be a similar situation.

Not sure zoomer. I rarely preview pics on the screen while shooting something like this. There isn't time. Other than checking exposure on occasion.
I will try to get one of the corrupted files that is not rainbowed out. There are many more of those. They look fine but give me an error in LR. As far as how many. It was maybe 30 pics out of 3000?
In my experience I have never seen anything like what you posted here.

I need to check my other card to see if it has images on it. I think all of the pics that have had problems have been formated.
Like other here I don't reformat my cards until all the images have been transferred looked at and backed up.
In your situation maybe you could have who ever is downloading the images into LR watch the process. Spotting a corrupt file will be easy.

Or, perhaps, Irfanview? I know Irvanview (which is a spectacular image view for Windows systems) reads Canon Cr2 raw file formats, with a plugin, and suspect it woudl do the same for Nikon ... breezes through files quickly.

A new card reader is cheap, so start there.
At this point you should explore everything until you find the problem. If the coming motocross is an important event you may want to rent a body and get some additional cards, just to amortize your losses across the 2 bodies and the new cards. Use both bodies and alternate, shooting even more than usual.
Don't reformat the cards until you have verified the files, of course.

Also, seen some recommendations that triple formatting (do it 3x in a row) a card is best for it. Good luck!!!
