  • I still use a 16 gb one for my DSLR. When I bought it about 7 years ago, I opted to get an older entry level canon which was basically better specced than the current (at the time) entry level model and far cheaper. The new model did have wifi though so I got one of these. Works pretty well. And other apps support them not only their included one (PhotoSync on iOS comes to mind). They are slow AF but get the job done.









  • That’s sucks. I’m not from the UK but isn’t there already a line rental fee she has to pay monthly or yearly? Is the “upgrade” more expensive overall?

    Seems maybe a mobile phone is a better solution. At least they still work if the power is out (not if it kills the cell network too of course).

    But your mum would have to change her phone number and learn a new device. And remember to charge it.

    I remember getting my grandma a mobile phone for emergencies (Nokia 3310) and it was so hard for her to grasp how to use it.

    I have an Epson (not eco tank) and it has this. It is called a maintenance box. But you can get one off Amazon etc for a few dollars and it is easy to replace, just one screw off the front. The display literally shows you how to do it!

    I love my Epson. I use generic cartridges and they work fine. When you install a generic cartridge it gives you a warning, and that’s it. I have it on wifi but I have disabled firmware updates in the settings.
