Camera: How profoundly annoying.

[reddragdiva]

The good news is the arrival this morning of the new USB CompactFlash reader and 256MB CF card from Crucial. I should no longer need to use ewtikins' Windows box to talk to the camera, and can have a go at recovering the February B-Movie photos by hand myself.

The bad news is that the camera is not working - all buttons on the back, except the power and zoom, are unresponsive, and if you switch it to shooting mode it will take shots as fast as it can all by itself. This happened for a few hours last Saturday, but now appears to be a permanent condition. Needless to say, its timing is impeccable. The shop say Canon's warranty turnaround is typically two to three weeks. So I'll probably hold onto it until Whitby - in the hope of it coming good, even for a while - then send it back.

I suppose it'll give me time to catch up on the backlog.

Bah!
