I was given a good tip when I asked about cards a couple of months ago before a big holiday. If you know you are not going to be taking loads of pictures in one go and have time to change the card between sessions, it is sometimes better to buy several smaller cards than going for larger...

I have a 70D and it has proved to be very temperamental. Mine seized up with error message 30 just as the 2 year warranty was about to expire so I sent it back to Canon amid warnings from other members on here that if I waited until it expired it would cost me about £400 for a repair. Came back...

Don’t know if I have misunderstood but I can advise on the travelling with the 70D. I have the Canon 70d and have done 2 holidays in India in the last 2 years with it which involved trains, boats, planes and cars plus various other trips abroad. No kids but travelling with husband was bad...

Latest update: I took Tijuana’s advice and had a look at the D drive. For some reason, probably only known to the good folk at Fujitsu and Microsoft, this is 5 times larger than the C drive. As people usually only look at and save stuff to the C drive, it is hardly any wonder I was running out...

Tijuana, I do have a ‘D’ drive but I assumed that this, like in some of my previous computers, was for running cds/dvds. I will check it out before going down the external drive route. Thanks for that.

sphexx, i don’t put them on any of the clouds because I find them too difficult to wade through to find them and try as I might, I just can’t get to grips with Windows 10 to run a back up of the system. This laptop isn’t used on a daily basis as I have an iPad for banking, e-mails etc and if I...

I have an old external hard drive which was used to download my husband’s cd collection which took up an awful lot of space. It is full now and is not much smaller than my laptop. I can see from the links that things have moved on a tad since we bought that in the dark ages. Seem to be very...

Tijuana - I have no idea how to tell whether it is partitioned. After 4 years, I am still trying to get my head round the windows system supplied with the laptop- Windows 8 originally then upgraded free to 10 because no one could work with 8). And Fujitsu (according to one of their technicians...

My laptop is fast running out of space because I am storing my pictures on it. I have to delete stuff or upload older pictures on to a memory card /disc just to be able to see what I have got on my new storage cards after holidays etc which means I cannot browse ALL the pictures I have taken...

I am no expert at all. Still shooting on auto after 2 years but I have this camera and find it to be very temperamental. Last week I had the opposite problem to you. I could only see things in the lcd screen, couldn’t see through the viewfinder at all and the camera seemed to stick when taking...

Well I have to say the camera got through it’s trip to the Himalayas better than I did. It didn’t get pointed at Everest but I did pick up the 3rd, 4th and 5th highest mountains in the world in a cluster in the distance. Will have to wait until I get home and get the snaps on a computer before...

It worked fine and I had no problems at all with it until January (nearly 2 years old by then) and I tried a new lens. It had been stored next to a cold spot in the house for a couple of months. Then once it came back from Canon, it went a bit haywire in cold damp weather. It just seems to like...

a couple of months ago I wrote that I had had problems with my Canon 70D - kept getting error 20 so sent it back to Canon as it was still under a two year warranty and they replaced the shutter. A couple of weeks ago, in cold damp weather, I got the error 20 message but once the temperature...

I am sincerely hoping that I don’t have to make that choice anytime soon ,Ploddles

We have had warm weather for the past couple of days and the camera seems to be working ok now. Have been reading up on the subject on the net and, going back a few years, others who have had the same problem put it down to the batteries reacting to cold/damp conditions. Their advice to others...
