Need camera assistance

[offroadkarter]

My camera is being an *******.

really

Tuesday i was using it, i had it on my desk and it fell onto my carpet. Its like a 3ft fall. It was on and the lense was out, but it fell screen side down. Nothing broke, but it like froze, and the power light turned orange, i turned it off, and that was it.

It did this one time before, it just froze, but it didnt fall last time. I did everything i did last time to get it to come on (full battery charge, replace the battery like 40 times, let it sit a long time with the green light on, or with the battery out, yell at it) and it still wont budge.

Its a cannon powershot SD750, i have pictures i want off, but the camera is acting like a turd again. Any ideas? :(

usb card reader.

Dont have one, going to order it if this thing wont stop being a jerk

So...you are not able to use a usb cable since it won't stay powered on long enough?

If the pics are on a card, take the card to a machine at a drug store, or better yet a camera store, and have them burned to cd-rom.

Pitch that camera...you can do better.;)

I cant just pitch a gift, although i'd like to, i cant afford a super expensive hi quaility camera.

Its not that it wont stay on, i plug it in and it says "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED"

Yes, i go under my computer, and it reads as a memory stick. Never had problem with downloading the pics.

Its been stuck for 3 days now, which is the longest its been. I thought cannon is supposed to make good cameras, i never had a problem with the olympus :mad:

That is a Sony device. Sorry man, I wish I could help, but that is strange. Even if your camera was dropped and something drastic happened to it, I would think that whatever was saved on your memory card would still be intact.

If you are connecting directly from your camera to your pc and not using a card reader, it might make sense that if your camera has a problem, it would not communicate correctly with the pc. As others have said, take your card to a local photo shop and see if they can retrieve any pics from it.

Good luck, I hope you can at least recover your pictures. If not, perhaps you should contact Canon customer service, and see if they can help.

IT has a san disk. I know the card is still good, its the camera thats acting up.

[offroadkarter]

Well apparently im not the only one! This is actually very common with Canon's.

Imagine just bumping the car in front of you with your Marauder not a hard hit but there was damage to your front bumper. Would you blame the car??
It's not like dropping the remote for the TV. There's a whole lot of electronics stuffed into that little camera. Bottom line chaulk it up, and try to be more careful with the next one.

He can point you to a good camera.

Your Camera uses SD or MMC cards.

You can afford this can you not?
