BAD NEWS :( I think my digicam is offically dead. due to the deterioration, i left the cam untouched for a month. yesterday i tried to use it again, every single picture came out with reading error. i couldn’t get them to my computer. when i connect the cam with the computer via usb, it said the new software was not formatted. yes i did format my smart media card multiple times, it’s not helping. perhaps the smart media card is broken. but why?! unless my camera is somehow destroying the smart media card, it shouldn’t have lasted less than a year. i just got this card in replacing my last broken card. :( :( i’m so sad. i don’t want to live without my cam. but i don’t really have money to buy a real good one right now. i’m looking for a quality cam around $150 – $250 (best without smart media card). any suggestions?
