The SD controller in these doesn't support XC; no bueno. This is a common problem on many pre-2011 Canon cameras as a whole, so this isn't unique to yours. However, it's even worse on pre-2007 cameras; most don't even support SDHC! Yours is in the middle where XC is not supported, but it supports HC cards. This is why I tell people looking at used ones to avoid anything pre-2011/vetted to not be plagued by this problem. Essentially on the P&S side, 2007+ is safe for SDHC, but 2011+ is XC safe. DSLRs are a bit better. with the T2/T2i lack XC support problem, but the T3/T3i added XC support (and as such, for used cameras, I recommend the T3i/T3 minimum to compensate for this shortcoming; if not for the fact the T1i's are old enough to all have high shutter counts and more likely to ERR 20 due to a shutter failure).[br]

***For P&S cameras, the market hit them hard due to amount of troubled ones. Anything made from 2005 or older with CF support is a dead end (no HC support), 2006-present supports HC (no XC), 2011-present generally supports XC. These early cameras require a NOS NON-HC card, which is super expensive today when they come up due to their scarcity. HC models are spared from this issue, until we stop having easy access to 16GB or less cards as some of them do not take 32GB cards due to firmware or SD reader issues. You can't buy a new 16GB card easily; I have gotten them when clearanced out to get rid of them, but that's it now.***

***If you are seeking one out for this and see this post, check for SDHC support; the year is reliable, but you need to spot-check on some dubious cameras. AT LEAST CHECK FOR SDHC SUPPORT unless you want to pay $50 for a NOS 2GB SD card!***
While it will not support SDXC, SDHC cards will work :-). This is good because you cannot buy non-HC cards now (even at 8GB) outside secondary markets like eBay sellers with old cards. If you find one it's well-used (and risky), or NOS ($$); market scarcity dictates these prices :/. Essentially, the open market wiped them out and jacked the prices on NOS legacy cards up. SDHC only goes up to 32GB, unlike XC which starts at 64GB and maxes at 2TB.
Get a 16GB SDHC and you'll be in good shape on this one, 32GB if you can find it. It's an issue with multiple factors, based on the camera: The cards require exFAT*, which creates this issue.[br]
There are two groups of "bad cameras:
* 2009 and older: Hardware level controller; hard limited to 32GB. ***NO WORKAROUNDS***. ***SDXC will never work.***
* Late 2010 cameras: ***MAY be correctable with 3rd party firmware like Magic Lantern, but only if supported.***

*Maybe if you can force it to format as FAT32? I dunno, I never tried it but I would trust it's ability to not corrupt like a fart. You can't reformat on camera if it fails, so you're not shooting for the day IF it fails.[br]
I'm half tempted to test this with a known incompatible camera like the SD1200, but it has to be from 2010 max; 2011 was when they addressed the XC problem.

I'm half tempted to test this with a known incompatible camera like the SD1200, but it has to be from 2010 max; 2011 was when they addressed the XC problem.
The SD controller in these doesn't support XC; no bueno. This is a common problem on a lot of pre-2011 Canon cameras as a whole, so this isn't quite unique to yours. However, it's even worse on pre-2007 cameras; most don't even support SDHC! Yours is in the middle where XC is not supported, but it supports HC cards. This is why I tell people looking at used ones to avoid anything pre-2011/vetted to not be plagued by this problem. Essentially on the P&S side, 2007+ is safe for SDHC, but 2011+ is XC safe. DSLRs are a bit better with the T2/T2i having the no XC support problem, but the T3/T3i fixed it. Anything without HC support is history due to memory card cost now! The T1/T1i and older are suspect now because of this issue.

While it will not support SDXC, SDHC cards will work :-). This is good because you cannot buy non-HC cards now (even at 8GB); if you find it, it's well used (and risky), or very expensive because the scarcity of such cards affects the prices on the secondary market. Essentially, the open market wiped them out and jacked the prices on NOS up. However, they only go up to 32GB, unlike XC which starts at 64GB and will keep going up.

Essentially, the open market wiped them out and jacked the prices on NOS legacy cards up. However, they only go up to 32GB, unlike XC which starts at 64GB and maxes at 2TB.
Get a 16GB SDHC and you'll be in good shape on this one, 32GB if you can find it. It's an issue with multiple factors, based on the camera: The cards require exFAT*. The issue can be the firmware (some), the controller (most incompatibility issues, cannot be compensated for; old cameras from 2009 and below) is limited to 32GB SDHC and cannot accept 64GB+ XC, ***AT ALL***. Thankfully in some cases with the firmware problem cameras, they can be worked around with something like Magic Lantern, but it needs to work with your specific camera or it's not a fix to the firmware problem.

Even if a T6i kicks a T3i due to the sensor,AF, and DIGIC 7, it has a critical thing that will eventually save you. The T2/T2i and older are NOT XC-ready. The SD-only ones are bricks now.

The problem is you can't readily buy NON-HC cards, even at 8GB which was a thing. Those got phased out years ago, and the remaining ones which work/are sold as NOS later are jacked up in price to high heavens due to supply and demand for those without a choice. However, the SD1200 does support SDHC cards which are readily available for cheap;however, they only go up to 32GB unlike XC which starts at 64GB and will keep going up. You may have to look around in some cases (or raid the Walmart clearance section), but they are still out there.

It's an issue with multiple factors: The cards require exFAT*, the controllers do not play nice beyond 32GB due to limitations at the HW level or the firmware is at fault but the controller CAN (andit may be correctable with something like Magic Lantern), sometimes a combination based on the camera. For these old, old cameras it's usually limited by the controller and can't be corrected with firmware :(.
