I have the same problem but I haven't found a solution.
Luckily I have a warranty and pruchased insurance so that's my reply to you Roma.
Good Luck!

I have just been on a Europe tour and the exact same problem has occurred for me.
If I don't get my photos back I will be devastated. If anyone has a solution, please let me know too!!
Thank you

I have this exact same camera, and I'm having the exact same problem. It's really really really really touchy, and it has to be in there just right. I usually just have to take it out and put it back in over and over again. If your computer has a pro duo card reader, then use it. My computer has NO problem reading the card. Way to go HP. Sony, you suck. I won this camera, didn't buy it, so I can't use the warranty. :(

Same problem here, maybe sandisk is not compatible with this model.

I had the same problem with 2 different SANDISK devices. Called SONY support and they asked me to send the DSC S950 for check! During my call with the support guy, I had the feeling that SONY already knows about this problem but they are not issuing the RECALL yet...

I have the same problem, and it is driving me insane! I am getting the C 13:01 error, please reinsert memory card. But it is not being read in my HP pc either. I don't know what to do. I saw some other threads that suggestion banging the crap out of it, and reinserting the memory stick about 30 times. No luck yet.

This is absolutely terrible, I had a day out with my wife, took all those precious photos and in the end of the day my Sony S950 is keep saying 'please reinsert the memory card'. That was a SanDisk 4 GB. What a carp !!! Does any one has any solution?

Every time I take the memory card out of the camera and put in an iPad or a notebook to copy the photos, when i put it back in the camera the C 13:01 error appears with the message "reinsert the memory card". The first time it happened i just put it in and out a couple of times, but since then everytime i take it off the camera the same error happens. So i started to use the cable to copy the photos to my computer and it never happened again.

For all those people who's complainig about the loss of the photos that were inside of the memory card, don't worry, because this issue is in the camera not in the memory card. If you put your memory card in a notebook or somewhere else, it might read it and you'll be able to copy all your photos. The problem is that the issue will continue to happen on the camera. It got me very angry, because i bought a 16GB just to use in my camera and since this error happened, the memory card didn't work in camera and notebook either...
