Canon 600D says "Card write error"

Question

My Canon 600D was showing "Card write error".

I took out my SD card and noticed that the write-protect lock was broken, so I bought a new one.

I am still getting the same error on the new card although it is not locked. The new card works fine in a computer.

What is the exact wording of the error? If it just says "write error" that may not be related to the write-protect lock on the card. — thomasrutter, Oct 26 '15 at 02:49
The card works fine with a computer. It gives the same error with a new card as well :( — Pranet Patra, Oct 31 '15 at 23:04
Agree with James. Take your Canon 600D to nearest showroom. **Maybe the lock of old card is stuck in the slot.** — , Nov 09 '15 at 10:44
Yea will try to take it to a local repairer. Looks like there is an issue with the card slot :( — Pranet Patra, Nov 10 '15 at 18:58

Dude, I hit the same issue a long time back; totally messed up my 600D. I even bought new SD cards and tried, but nothing worked. I finally understood that it had a problem with the SD card slot that holds the SD card. Go to a service center and change the card slot, it costs approximately 2000 INR (30$).

Either your 600D has failed and needs servicing or the new card you have purchased is not compatible with your camera.

I would recommend that you consult Canon's service department or, if cost is an issue, a local repairer. Most camera shops will be offer a service or be able to put you in touch with someone.

"Either your 600D has failed and needs servicing or the new card you have purchased is not compatible with your camera." - quite possible though, OP might have bought SDXC. – Euri Pinhollow Mar 24 '16 at 09:07
