memory card fitted to camera but when turned on it comes up with no memory card ihave tried 3 diferent memory cards
what format of memory card does this use? I’m not sure when canon went from CF cards to SD. Look for the SD logo on the camera. If it just says SD, which may be possible, the largest card it can accept is 2GB SDHC was announced in 2006, cnet reviewed your camera in 2009, so it may be compatible with SCHC cards which top out at 32 GB SDXC is anything 64 GB and up and was announced in 2009, so your camera probably doesn’t support it.
The memory cards are 2 GB so this is not the problem
