Digital camera help. Please.

I recently purchased a Canon Powershot A75 with 3.2 mega...something. I think I broke it!!! I filled up the first card and downloaded the photos to my camera- no problem. Then I used up the card again took the card out to insert another one to use before I downloaded. This time, the card would not fit inside the slot. I tried and tried and then I finally got it inside. I turned on the camera and it said card error. I cant download the images and half the time the card wont fit in the camera. What am I doing wrong?!

HELP!!!

You may need to format the card.

Was it put in the right way?

did you accidently lock the card (the white tab that moves on the side of the card)?

the cards should slip in fairly easily, make sure you have the right type of card, and you're putting it in the right way
failing that, the card or camera could be defective

WIYD is right. try reformatting the card. failing that, some cards do become defective over time. and as some have already stated, never ever force the card in, it should slip in real easy (no jokes here, hehe!). take it to a henry's or vistek, have them check it out. if you were nearby, i'd look at it for you.

when the card didn't want to go back in did you push it really hard? sounds like you might have broke off the connector inside the camera. If so take it back and just tell them it's not working... but don't tell them what you did to it.

The Canon Powershot A75 takes Compct Flash I cards. Are the cards really identical, because there are CF I and CF II cards? The CF II cards are slightly thicker.

Bring it back to the place where you bought it and tell them I have no idea what happen, it just stopped working. And they will change a brand new cam for you..

There are instructions (pg 21) in your manual : ) on how to format /reformat your card. Give it a try. Barring that, I agree with the suggestions that you take it back to the point of purchase. It's probably something minor and they should be able to remedy it easily.

Most cameras will detect the cards not formatted and will ask you if you would like to format the card... not just give you a message of "card error" When it says that it can't see & communicate with the card. I think she damaged the card connector inside the camera. She says she can heard something rolling around inside… this is a not a good sign.

Take it back... play dumb with Future Shop... act a bit pissed off that it just stopped working right during "the big birthday party!" they will give you a new one right away :)

I had a similar problem with this one woman one night when we were having sex and I pulled out but then when I went to insert again, I wouldn't fit inside. I tried and tried and then I finally got it inside. I turned her over and she said "error". When I turned her over again she sounded like a penny was stuck inside. What did I do wrong?
Did you take her back to Future Shop?

I got her at Best Buy actually. And you know what, come to think of it, I responded to an ad in the paper and when I went there to get her she looked totally different in real life. I'm wondering if it was a bait and switch operation?
