Is this straight from the camera, or after the raw converter?
Note: I was testing Capture One 4 the other day and one of my images that opens fine in DPP & Silkypix looks just like one of these in Capture One. Strangest thing.

I have seen some earlier posts with this similar problem, it suggested a sensor problem rather than a shutter problem. Let see what other's opinions are.

Those don't look like shutter problems. A shutter problem would result in black/darkened bars uniform across the entire width of the image, not weird color problems in quarters of the image. Your camera is probably mechanically fine --- the problem appears to be on the digital side.
Whoops ... not a raw converter issue. The .jpg straight from the camera looks fine but the RAW does this with three different converters. Maybe it is the card ...
Sometimes updated drivers will curse this, more often it's the reader itself.
I've seen the occasional file similar to this from all my cameras, but once or twice it became a regular experience and dumping the reader fixed the problems.
It can be frustrating as from one camera, same card same reader it may be fine, another camera, not so, thus leading to one suspecting the camera ~~ whilst the camera can be responsible for this on very rare occasions, it's usually the actual card reader itself.
Extra: BTW, if your files are still on the original card, they should transfer just fine with a new reader ...
Sandisk Extreme III 16 gig purchased at Amazon IIRC. Will try a different card reader, files are still on the card. Canon DPP conversion looks bad too. Thanks for the suggestions.
That doesn't look like a shutter issue- a shutter issue would be indicated by some portion of the image being black. Your sensor may be the issue (although it doesn't look like it because there's no distinct pattern in the corruption of the images). Something is getting lost in translation, either the A/D converter isn't encoding properly, the processor isn't handling your image correctly, or your card writer is malfunctioning.
