Canon Digital Camera Problem

[Mide]

So I've been using my Canon SD700 IS for many years now and it has always worked with zero problems. Today I go and try to use it, take a few pics, then pull out the SD card and put it into my laptop. No pictures show up. I do it again, take pics, view them on my camera, see that they are there, take out the SD card, put it into the laptop then again, no pics show up. Put the SD card back into the camera and it shows up as no pictures.

The last thing I tried was take pics, view them, turn off camera, turn it back on, go to view, then nothing shows up. So somehow the pictures are not getting placed onto the memory card. Unfortunately I don't have another card to test right now but has anyone ever seen such a problem? I don't think I ever had with digital cameras.

I've always tried to do a low-level format of the SD card via the camera itself and under my laptop OS but no beans. Once pictures did show up but they were marked as "corrupt" and only 80% of the picture appeared.

Wrong forum, BUT, there is a wide-spread problem with the CCD's in many digital cameras. I had a Nikon 5700 repaired (at no cost) a few years back. I don't see your model on either the old list nor the new one...but it's worth contacting Canon about. FWIF, the manufacturers were covering cameras regardless of warranty status. Mine was out of warranty for at least 3 years when I sent it in.

It's always worth contacting Canon to see if your camera is covered by the recall or not.
