Quoth prjkt View PostSimilar thing with cameras at my shop... People (who most likely have never bought a camera from us) come in with an ancient relic expecting us to get it working 100% for free! even when we're at the busiest time of day.
Most of the time they need a new battery (only lasts a couple of years) and the balk at the price, or if it's a serious issue (dead LCD or sensor) people tend not to like being told to either pay $60 for a repair quote, or to buy a new camera (if the camera is old enough, the repair will be far more expensive than a new, better model)EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

I don't think Kodak manufactures much film any more after their recent troubles. And it's not that stores don't want to carry xD cards in my experience, it's that almost no one makes them any more. We had a lot of trouble finding a single supplier in Aus that imports them.

Quoth Raveni View PostLike Crossbow said, it seems like you could have very easily done what the customer asked for...
Oh? You forgot to backup first? Sorry, all your data is gone...

I have the benefit that most of what I do I charge for. So in this case, I would have said I could do it, but there will be a charge AND you will loose all of your data.
If they were nice, I wouldn't have charged them something that would have taken me a minute or so, without the loss of data.

Quoth wolfie View PostWhat's the conspiracy behind camera stores refusing to stock those cards? Also, the reason I've been using that instead of my film camera (Minolta SRT Super, which takes a mercury battery) is camera stores have stopped carrying Kodachrome.

I wonder if I can plug my USB floppy drive into those photo kiosks, they have a USB port.

Assuming
Quoth Silent-Hunter View PostI still have a Sony Mavica, the one that takes floppy disks. It works very well, and if it ever breaks I'll have to try to fix it because I've tried three newer cameras and it's outlasted all of them.
