So my Rebel XT (350D) started giving me the dreaded error 99 a few weeks back. It only happens if I press any of the buttons on the back. The camera still functioned but without those buttons, there is no adjusting any ISO options, picture preview, etc.
I decided to let a local repair place look at it and $100 later they told me that a screw had come loose inside and fried the main circuit board. I could send it back to Canon but in the end I'm not really sure it would be worth it. I'm getting it back today and I will check to see if it works like it did when I gave it to them. If it doesn't I think I will have a few words with them. :|
So my photography will be limping along for a while.
As for the good news, I've been working for my company for 5 years in February. For this milestone, they are going to give me a $350 "gift" which I will be using towards a new body. (was going to get a 100mm macro lens but
)
I haven't looked into bodies in a while. Anyone have any recommendations? Only requirement is that it be a Canon since I have a Canon flash and lens. I'm not looking for anything too expensive but an upgrade might be in order!
*UPDATE*
My company let me get my gift early and I'm now the proud owner of a 40D! I decided to buy the body + kit lens since it was only $100 more. Seemed worth it to me.
I need to get out of work right now! It's sitting next to me eating away at my soul!! :laugh:
