No, I use standard Canon oem cards (16 and 32 MB) plus a couple of
256's. All have the same physical dimensions. They all slide smoothly
into both my A-60 and a friend's A-75. They only time they ever bind is
in my S1.

have you discussed this with the seller?

It may be a tiny flange in the moulding (camera side & guessing)

Yes, I know

It was my opening dialogue in attempt to estimate the poster's experience of
matters technical

It is always difficult to estimate cause & effect links remotely.

At the mo' it suggests somethings amiss provided the account given is
accurate
