Hi everyone,
Im new to the forum and photography in general, i bought my mum a Canon SX700 HS for her christmas just passed to replace her low end Kodak digital camera. After a bit of research i settled on the Canon because of its size and ability to use manual, also with a great zoom too.
I also bought her a few spare batteries and SD cards as the most storage she had was an 8gb card with a good few 4gb and 2gb cards aswell. I got her a 64gb sandisk sd card with a 45mb transfer rate, although after using up about 4gb of the 64gb available, it comes up saying "Image not recognised" with a question mark sybol as the photo thumbnail, when connected to the PC it says "windows cannot veiw this file"
I contacted Canon about this and i was told that the camera wouldnt take anything more than a 4gb card.. I find this hard to believe as its a modern camera with a modern SD card, it seems a bit backwards to have such advanced storage technology but the camera can only use 4gb
I know people would advise alot of smaller SD cards as opposed to 1 or 2 big SD cards but photos are backed up regularly and its nice being able to shoot photos all day and not worry about filling up SD cards.
If anyone else has any insight on this it would be appreciated, i have searched around on the web but i havent found a definitive answer.
Excuse the long winded first post, id like to try get to the bottom of this as it ruined a day taking photos yesterday...
Thanks in advance
