Canon 600D

Canon 450D ......This is the result you get when the shutter parts become detached inside the camera .....and its time to chuck it in the bin.

You also get the error 99 message appear on screen

I suppose considering that the shutter count has over 400,000...
I shouldn't complain too much.

I guess there will those that say the pics are an improvement!

This may be a stupid question, but are you using a flash? If so, is the sync speed on the flash set higher than the sync speed for the camera? That will cause the shutter blade to be in the pictures.
400,000 is a lot of actuations. I think you got your moneys worth.

When I lifted up the mirror inside I could see part of the shutter mechanism sticking out. It had come adrift from the little lever holding it.

I had to pull it out with a pair of pliers! Brutal I know but thought what the hell. Its bust anyway. The camera sort of works again, but only in low light as there is no shutter to shield the CCD light.

Can always sell it for spares.

Kim,

Make sure you get STM lenses for shooting video otherwise the auto focus gains you are hoping for will be lost. Also, invest in an external mic if you can - the camera's internal mic will pick up the motor moving.

Thanx Wendy. You are right about the mic! The camera's servo is very noisy I hear.

Should be collecting it from my local store later today.

Still not sure if it auto focuses in 'live view' mode yet!
