I have just bought a Canon Ixy700 (Ixus 750) - very pleased with camera.

What I can't understand is that when I put the SD card in the card reader on my PC I cannot open the files as they come up as unnaccessible. When I use the Multimedia card from my old camera that works fine.

Could someone with a better understanding of such things (which wouldn't be difficult!) please help?
 
Sounds like theres an issue with the formatting of the SD card.
Copy over the existing images via the camera USB link.
Reformat the card in the Ixus.
Else, if the card reconsises the SD card but not the data, format it through windows or the card reader to FAT32 spec.
 
Thanks, although I don't really understand any of that!

What is the difference between SD and multimedia cards? and is one inferior? because if multimedia will produce just as good results then I'm happy just using that card as it has a greater capacity.
 
Yes I have - been through several versions now when I changed cameras and brands (and usernames) over the years - anything else it could be ? :lease:
