Broken Rebel XS DSLR Sensor

The following images are the last photos that I have been able to take with my Canon Rebel XS (with a 50 f/1.8 lens.) Every image is set for full color "Vivid," so they should technically look like the first image below:











All these pictures are "straight out of the camera" (so unaltered in Photoshop, etc.) and are supposed to be full and real-life colour. None are supposed to be black and white, the sensor or processor doesn't seem to like colours anymore. Some of these pictures are kind of dreamy, and one appears to have only captured some infrared light of sorts. I get a "Err 99" warning which (according to google) is not uncommon, but is a general error meaning nothing in particular. When I get back to Canada, I hopefully can fix it under warranty.

In other camera news, I bought a few cheap lens caps and a Nikkor 50 f/1.4 Ai.

In non camera news, I just returned from a week exploring Tokyo. I will post some pictures and stories later. This weekend I am climbing Mount Fuji, which will be the highest altitude I've ever been without being airborne.

  1. My family and I sat around my computer to read your blog post while eating cake. Sam and I both think it's a processor problem, not the sensor; it's too inconsistent. We also think you should keep your camera like that, because it's wicked cool.

  2. I just JUST tried taking the camera out again and snapping some pictures, and again they are particularly amazing. Note: http://tinyurl.com/2ffuer5

    This is a picture of out the back door in normal sunlight. The weird thing is the crispness of these new fangled images.
