2 of my friends with these have sent them back and gotten them back repaired, not replaced.

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!

Kiran,Thank you so much! I ran into the same problem. Now I know what to do.

Do not expect to get anything not in the picture or listed - actually I did not get everything in the picture - still missing one of the UV filters in the listing I got. BE AWARE: If you are going to use the video at all - do not bother with the kit lens or any non-STM lens. They stutter when trying to AF and it's VERY LOUD on the video. Get a package deal with an STM lens instead from the start - I ended up selling my lenses on Ebay and buying the 18-135 STM lens seperately. So stupid! Also, you are likely to get a recalled camera - so expect to be without it for 7-10 days while canon replace the rubber grips - at no cost to you. google the canon T4i recall to check if your camera body is affected - there are ways to see it in the serial number and then go to canon's site to contact them about how to get it fixed. They will send you shipping labels and all, not much hassle, but just so you know.

Please specify the exact error message because it happened to me but the problem was the memory card only. I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 95MB/s SDSDXPA-016G-AFFP and it works. Here the link SanDisk Extreme PRO 16GB UHS-I/U3 SDHC Flash Memory Card with up to 95MB/s- SDSDXPA-016G-AFFP

I just went to my local Best Buy today. They had 3 D5000 in the box and I had them check all serial numbers at Nikon's web sight. All were within the recall. Most recalls give customers a serial number range so I also would not be surprised if all D5000s are recalled either.

That problem occurs with many Canons. Canon knows about the problem, but has done nothing to help people with the issue. When we e-mailed them about the error, they basically just wanted to sell us a new printer. This is part of their response, "...You are eligible for Canon's Loyalty Program. This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service, or for some reason are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. This option allows you a one-time opportunity to purchase a replacement product, discounted from the list price, and with free FedEx Ground shipping. If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department..." Our printer wasn't that old, just past the one-year warranty. So, we bought and new printer, but it is not a Canon. If you visit the Canon Forum website and search for the error, you will find more frustrated customers with the same problem. Sorry.

It appears the problem is not with discharge, but with the software that tells you the battery is discharged, and then shuts the camera off automatically. The battery is actually fine. Problem is, Canon says the issue requires a firmware upgrade for certain serial numbers, not others. So I have a camera with a serial number that supposed does not require an upgrade, but it still has the problem. So now I have to deal with customer support and that whole thing. Not something I'm eager to do on a brand new product.

Greetings Ms. Gabrielle Z. In looking at the web site of fujifilmusa [I found the brochure and booklet for the S1500 I presume Finepix. It states that the camera takes sd card 2gb/ and sdhc cards of 4gb and 8gb. It has a graph of dimensions of j peg 3648 fine/ j peg normal/ etc. I would now use the 8gb. If you can you can buy up any 2 gb you find. Prices are going up on them. Maybe use the class 4 sd & or check with fuji support for additional directives. Possible damaged card. check on it, wipe clean the metalic pieces with clean soft cotton shirt gentlly fog it n wipe. Good Luck. Steve

Same issue with my Sony cam. Get the error message but I continue and use it, in spite of the error message. Works OK but is quite irritating. Haven't had the failure yet, hope i don't. Seems Sony has a proprietary card format, and as you probably know they are very proud of their cards. (expensive) I would suggest that you bite the bullet and pay the Sony price to ensure you don't have a camera failure.Good luck with your issue!

I recommend you report that to Canon Customer Service and see what they say. If, as I expect, they will indicate something not right, I'd send it back to Amazon in exchange for another since still in Amazon's 30-period for returns rather than sending it to Canon for repair. I have always gotten a very quick from Canon Customer Service and am very satisfied with the service I have gotten from them.

One of several error codes that are plaguing this model and many others. I would never again advise a friend to buy a Canon printer. For the reasons why, I suggest you Google "Canon U052 Wrong Printhead Error" for the full story. There is a class action lawsuit under way.

I am having this same problem on my SD1000, for the 2nd time! This originally occured when the camera was about 9 months old so I was able to get Canon to repair it under warranty. The repair lasted about 6 months and now I'm having the same problem again but this time I'm out of the warranty. Canon has been of little help, they offer generic responses about how much Canon cares about customers and then offer to sell you a refurbished camera. I was a long time fan of Canon cameras but this has turned me off to them and I would not recommend this camera.

Had this B200 error code for almost a year now, just set it aside and used my 10 year old printer (still running strong btw). Well recently I had the need to start scanning again. Pulled this broken printer out and after fiddling with it for a bit I found that removing all ink and the "printer head" ( the black plastic on which the cartridges sit on) allowed me to bypass the B200 code and allowed me to scan. If you get any other error codes you might be able to bypass if you hold "OK" or "Stop" buttons for about 10 seconds or more. Hope this info helps some of you out there seeing as how this is a very common problem for all canon printers.

The Canon manual says not to read or write from the flash memory when the camcorder is connected to a computer (okay for photos but not video). Doesn't explain why or what happens but suspect it can corrupt file structure and prevent data from being read back to camcorder later. Capturing files directly from the memory card using a card reader appears to be okay as I've seen that referenced on Canon's website (but not mentioned as an option in the manual).

Hi, thank you so much for the speedy reply! I have performed a reset on the camera, as well as removing both the battery pack and the watch battery, to no avail. I did think of trying an external flash unit, and am currently trying to borrow one from a friend who has a genuine Canon unit to see if this will work. I have also contacted a UK Canon-approved repairer to get a quote, so I should hopefully soon know how much I can expect to pay. Thanks again for your help in the matter. Kind Regards, Andy
