I have an old canon rebel EO5 DS6041 and lost the memory card -what do I need to buy please

Call tech support.

The DS6041 is called the Digital Rebel in some parts of the world. You may download the Digital Rebel manual and more from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_digital_rebel#BrochuresAndManuals

Err 02

Description: The camera cannot access the memory card.

Resolution:

1. Remove and re-install the memory card.
2. Format the memory card as described in the user manual. The user manual for your EOS camera can be downloaded form the Canon Europe EOS camera support page.
3. If formatting the memory card does not resolve the error please replace the memory card.

You don't need any special software.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Here's a page from an excellent forum "Steve's Digicams"

As it explains, it basically a Canon EOS Rebel 300D and so uses the same accessories.

Here's a url for the Manual :-

Here's a site for accessories:-

http://www.digitalmediastore.co.uk/Accessories.aspx?Model=DEV_CA_EOS300D


Said site mentions you want a Canon BP-511 or BP-514.


You can find them almost anywhere, Canon site/shops, ebay, amazon etc.

Good Luck.

Hello

OK, this specific unit supports up to a 8GB Ultra CF card.

Have a look at the link below. It should be sufficient.

Feel free to let me know if you need any further information.

Kind regards

You didn't specify which Rebel, but you'll find a manual for a variety of them at http://www.butkus.org/chinon/canon.htm

there isnt a restriction just dont buy cheap cards it works out better in the long term

The error 02 can come up when there is CF card problem : card not seated properly , card takes too long to come on line from the cameras point of view or if one of the the pins inside CF card chamber is faulty.
