Just bought a Canon S3 from Singapore for 690 S$ which includes a 512mb sd card along with the 16 mb one, rechargeable battries, tripod stand( Very Small 1 though), lens cleaning kit and a bag. I guess landed a good deal. Say what guys??

I am learning to use it properly. Can u people suggest some good website to learn the basics? There are many Photography guru's here, so please distribute som gyan to us too.

Bbye and take care

Happy Diwali

I have a Sony DSC-H2 (6mp, 12x optical) with Raynox DCR 2020 Pro (2.2x tele convertor). Quite a good camera with near SLR features. I use it for my weekend bird / butterflies / flower shoot trips.
Anyone interested in joining the bird watching group in and around mumbai, PM me.

I had similar problem on my Casio cam. Had to format SD card and lost a lot of pics too! You can try some data recovery software(search google), otherwise formatting the card is the only option!

I use an Olympus Camedia 5060 Widezoom. It can accommodate an XD Picture card ad a CF card simultaneously.

Bought it for ~$500 including additional card in Mid 2004. Pix have been fabulous. This camera has a very good shutter speed.

Try formatting it in the computer. If it does not help. most probably the card has gone bad, which IMHO pretty rare occurance. Try to get a replacement from the place you got the card.
