Penny drops. Yes this jives much better with the observed data -- that Rpi break SD cards orders of magnitude more than anything else that uses SD cards no matter how crappy said cards are.

Problem could have been solved by adding a decent sized capacitor on the 5v supply rail.

I think if you take into account how often they're powered on you'd find cameras destroy flash memory cards comparably to Raspberry Pis.

Or you could just buy the Raspberry Pi branded power supply.
