  • I'm back!

    Turns out bigger isn't better.
    The memory card is 16GB and with all the pictures I've taken (and never removed) it adds up to a few thousand. Conventional card readers just don't cut it. Tried out a few at work and on different computers it turns out that "communication error" on the Canon means it can't handle it.
    The camera itself can read the card fine, it is when you connect it to a computer then the problem occurs.

    The solution is to get a card reader that will read cards of that size/brand/format. In general the older the card reader is, the less likely it can read the newer (higher capacity size) cards.
