Hey everybody,
I have a Canon SD700 IS that, at best, has only seen light usage by my wife. Recently, it insists that the SD card is locked, in lieu of the fact I've checked repeatedly, even toggled the switch on the card to see if it would make a difference, and it hasn't. I've even tried multiple cards to no avail...the camera sees every card I insert as "locked." The camera was functioning perfectly fine, prior to removing the card to off load some pictures. To my knowledge, it wasn't until the next time the camera was to be used that the problem presented. I've written Canon and received a fairly quick, fairly generic reply that was of little help, ending with a, "you're going to have to send it in for repair, or we can give you a discount on a refurb'd unit" directive.
I'm not ready to send it in for repair, nor am I ready to buy a new camera, without first checking in here with the real experts, to see if anyone has had this problem with this or similar model, and what, if anything, was done to remedy the situation.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Rod
