Welcome to the "HOG".

Thx - I really like it -- but, now it is "hogging" up my time - in a good way though. Very friendly & enjoyable.

Welcome!! I use to live in southern cal. for half my life in Westminster do you know where that is? Sure glad to be out of there!!

Thank You for the welcome. I had to google West. and see that it is closer to the ocean, which I love. I am more inland about 90 miles east of L.A. - here's another hint - it's called the Coachella Valley. Rte. I-10 can be a nightmare to the coast - I think they should build a tunnel :-) .

No -- to be honest, I'll need to look for that equipment & give it a try. I believe a reader came with both camers's --would either work ?? More lack of knowing :-)

Thanks Z - I'm reading lots of good stuff - it's the remember part that's a problem. I haven't been clicking lately but will soon. Hey, I use to live in MA - are you near Portsmouth ? A happy day to you. :-)

Close to Portsmouth - but off 93, not 95

I've found that if I don't click what I've read, then I don't remember either. Lately, however, I've had to invoke the repeat part more often.... oldtimer's disease :)

And a happy day back atcha!

The sun is just rising here now - to be cooler than normal. I use a "note" program to help me remember stuff. I always get 93 and 95 confused - but in Portsmouth did you ever go to a restaurant called the "Blue Strawberry" -- it was in the basement of a converted townhouse. I don't know if it still exists or perhaps changed names -- it was quite unique for its time. How is the weather there ? I have a friend in Newfield -- near that ?

Here's more lack of my knowledge - I didn't even know the cards had a lock/unlock feature. I tried it both ways in the camera and pc -- zip. I consider the card a very tiny recycle item now, but are u suggesting I try to remove the little slider gizmo ? I guess it can't hurt any. Thx for the info.

you know that even with all our expertise,if there is a way to mess up, we'll stumble across it.

I've come to the brilliant conclusion I caused the problem myself. From reading posts here I did two things wrong. One, I used the card in two different camera's, different makes - Fuji & Canon - not a good idea. Second, I was in the habit of erasing the card in my laptop - not a good idea. They recommend to re-format in the camera to erase. So, I will have one card for each camera in the future. Thanks for all the information.

No -- I had gotten them saved beffore this happened so very lucky in that regard. I'll proceed with the one I have plus bought a few others on "sale". I'm not sure how old the card was, it served me well - not life & death. Thx.

Ziggy -- thx for the suggestion. The manual that came with the camera is the "basic" - I did find the extended version & looked at the format media card section. When I insert the card in the camera either thru the viewfinder or the LCD I have a message "protected card" - I moved the lock slider on the card to both positions - same message. At this point I'll just assume that the card has expired. And, I always have erased the card while still in the pc after saving my pic's - never had a problem before. It just has bugged me that it stopped working without a warning of some sort. I suppose it is possible I caused the problem myself -- it's happened with other things, haha.

Hi - I have an 8 gig SDHC card that is no longer recognized in my two camer's (different makers) and also not in my laptop reader. I erase the chip each time after the pic's are on the pc. Any idea's ? Also, is it OK to leave the card in the camera when not in use ? Thanks.

LCD "Viewfinder"

Hi -- I have the Canon PowerShot A1200 too, bought it since it had the viewfinder. My Fuji FinePix S1800 also has one. I find it difficult holding the camera still using the screen and also seeing what is on the screen in daylight. I wish all camera's gave you a choice. Maybe the viewfinder will make a comeback.
