Canon SD Card
To all you Guru's...
Just bought a 2GB San Disk SD card off a generic auction site. I put it in my camera (Canon Powershot S2 IS) and there is an intermittent "Card Error" and "Card Locked". As I said, it is intermittent, some times it does, and sometimes it doesn't. A guy from work took it home with him and formatted it, but it still didn't work. Any ideas why this is happening, and any way I can cure it? Thanks in advance, Nick |

Have you looked at the contacts to make sure they are clean? Tried it in your own pc (if you don't have a card reader, get one it will save loads of time uploading images)

The contacts are fine. I can't find anywhere that states the limitations on my camera (card size).
On your second point, sounds good to me. Any recommendations? Nick |

Can you format it through your camera?

Check the manual, 2Gb may not be supported

The point about cards size may well be valid though.. |

This review speaks of using 2gb cards so I reckon that's not your problem.

The camera will not let me format the card if it locked. When it wants to work, it lets me, but nothing changes. I use a Viking 512Mb which works fine.

Can you return it to San Disk as faulty?
