Rebel XT (Black) Problems? Anyone?

[TWDesigns]

I been searching to see if anyone else has had as many problems as I have with the Rebel XT Black version.....

Im on my 3rd camera so far which is a loaner from the local store here in my area.

1st Camera (black) from B&H: Dead, stuck and hot pixels all over the screen. Noticable at all ISOs regardless the speed.

2nd Camera (black) from Wolf Camera: Huge set of hot pixels in the bottom left about half the size of an eraser tip.

3rd Camera (silver) from Wolf Camera: Works fine but it's a loaner as I really can't stand the silver bodys (personal preference)

Anyone else notice this problem? I went to pick my new black one up today but they said all the black ones were pulled from the shipment and they would have to find out what was up and call me.

Maybe I need to start looking for four leaf clovers this weekend :cry:

[Michaelmjc]

I guess all the black ones have dead pixles. Thats not good considering im gonna be buying one this weekend.

Ill cross my fingers.

I agree the silver is so ugly!

[faust]

I have a black XT, shot with it fora week in Peru and everything is a-ok

[Jackal]

I have a black XT.

I've done long exposures at night time and I see no hot pixels at all. I think I spotted just one pixel one time and that's it. I doubt the color of the camera would affect this anyways.

[Skip Souza]

Maybe black just doesn't go well with you.

[mdm]

It could be Earths gravitational pull compounded by it's alignment with Mars.

[KurtKuhn]

I found a couple of hot pixels after a 5 second test exposure with the lens cap on.

I decided just to live with it since I just can't spot them in real images.

[vverna83]

I have had no problems that i know of with my week old black XT

is there a way to check for dead, hot, or otherwise fubard pixels? I did the lens cap for 5 seconds and also a five second exposure onto a white surface and saw nothing out of the ordinary. (if this is completely wrong testing chalk it up to being a newbie and please let me know the correct way)

Had a black rebel XT that I had to send back. Shutter would not fire in any program mode. They were out of "black xt bodies" and I couldn't wait for them to get them back in stock so got the black 20D.....of course with the wife's blessing. The 20D arrived tonight so will test it out over the next week. Worked with Canoga Camera in California. They were a good bunch to work with. So much for the theory of buying a less expensive camera to get better glass. Got the 50 MM 1.8 II; 17-40 L F4 and the 70-200 L F4 and now I'm stuck with the expensive 20D. Poor me.

[guitarman3]

I have the black body XT and have noticed no problems in two weeks of shooting. Must have been a bad batch or something.

[jobber73]

Had to send my XT back. Wouldn't hold the date/time setting.

Still waiting for B&H to restock black.

[martincollett]

I've just discovered my black 350D won't auto power off if I set the time to anything other than 1 minute. Set to 2 minute power off it sits there until the battery runs down. Anyone else see this?

Thanks for the replys. I feel better knowing that people have working black versions.

Sounds like a good excuse to me ;)

I saw a post where the person had the same problem but I can't remember how they fixed it. I'll check my browsers history and see If it's still there.

[Citizensmith]

So one person had two crapped up cameras. There aren't any other major threads complaining about it and suddenly 'all the black ones have dead pixels'.

Kind of a strange statement.

On a side note I just picked up 3 Olympus Stylus 500s for work. Aside from an LCD that makes even that on the 1Ds look small, and rubber seals everywhere so its rain proof, the camera has one other useful feature. A utility they recommend you run once a year that spends a couple of minutes looking for miss-firing pixels and maps them out.

If we can have that in a $350 P&S why doesn't it show up in our DLSRs?

I agree, my original plan on the 2nd one was to have them mapped out if it was possible, but no one in my area does that and I didn't want to spend a grand then turn aroudn to have it shipped off to fix problems.

[joebas]

This is my 2nd XT from Amazon, both with the same problem! These are a few sample photos to show you what I mean. I set up three cans on the counter and took 3 photos. I was about 8 ft from the cans for each photo. the first was taken at 55mm, the 2nd at 35mm, and the 3rd at 18mm. All photos were taken in 'P' mode, shutter & aperture set by camera. Focus was achieved for all three using the center focusing point (selected by me) and focusing on the word "Kernel" on the middle can. To me the camera is not focusing correctly. I did not have this problem with my Rebel/3000D. This is what I see:





Photo #1 (55mm) - The last can seems to be more in focus than the middle can

Photo #2 (35mm) - The front can is clearly more in focus than the middle can

Photo #3 (18mm) - All three seem out of focus, but the first can is more focused than
the last two

[martincollett]

I fixed just my power-off problem. I formatted the CF card, reset all user settings, removed the main battery and the little 3V backup battery and left them out for 10 minutes or so. Put batteries back in (you need to reset the clock), and it is now fixed. Not sure if the format was necessary.

I must add that I love the camera, the quality of the photos is just superb, and it's a joy to use. My only complaint is with the kit 18-55 lens, it shows a little barrel distortion at the wide end - I guess it's a cheap lens, but it's probably not visible in most real world photos. I'm saving for the 10mm EF lens.

Interesting results (or scary given I expect mine on Tuesday) they certainly look "soft".

It would be interesting to see what would happen if you took a shot of a test target or even a newspaper with the camera square to the plane of the page - be no excuse of for the autofocus not to work.....

It's the silver XT Gods getting revenge!!!!


I have silver and could not wait for a black...
Maybe a good thing!

I have no problems with my BLACK XT from Amazon.

Did you use a tripod?

[Hellashot]

I agree the silver is so ugly!

When the camera is up to your eye, you can't see the camera!

[DavoMrMac]

Haven't actually tried this myself, but this is meant to check for dead pixels etc.

Found on another thread:

Good luck.

Hi Joe,

I am having some soft focus issues with my Rebel XT. I haven't had time to do any conclusive testing, but I am getting similar results. I'll try to do a newspaper flat plane focus test and see if that helps....but it seems you are not alone.

Pradeep

[joebas]

Sent mine to the Canon Service Center in NJ to correct the focus problem, I'll let you know what happens!!

[crazyfoo88]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/crazyfoo88/rebelfunny.jpg

Mine is fine, just barely fits in my hand though :( :lol:

[pradeep1]

Please do. I called them today and they told me to send it to NJ, but it will take 7-10 days for me to get it back. I've got family coming so I need the camera, so I'll send it in after they leave.

Post your results after you get your camera back and also let us know how long it took at Canon's Service Center.

I actually did some newspaper testing today and the results are okay. I am having most problems with close focusing. From distances over 2 meters, the focus seems okay, especially on flat newspapers, but doing anything within the 0.5-1 meter range, I am having difficulty. I do a lot of macro photography and this is what concerns me.

Thanks,

[TWDesigns]

ok...

So friday I was supposed to check in on my camera and they informed me that canon recalled them all (black ones)..... Has anyone else heard this? I noticed B&H has been out of stock on the black ones for around 3 weeks also.

During our converstaion they said on their last recall it took around 6 months to get the cameras in .??... And they had loaned me a silver one orginally so I returned it today since the last thing I want to do is get stuck with something I didn't want, for 1100$ I at least expect to get something I'm going to be happy with (picky, I know). Not sure whats going on but come next friday I guess I'll get a refund and find a new place to purchase one unless I can find out whats going on.

Someone had suggested Canoga in CA ( i think thats their name). Anyone else have a suggestion.

If their really was a recall I don't want to purchase one from the same batch but then again if there wasn't a recall I don't want to wait month's before one is available locally.

heh, and to make matters even more fun.... My Sigma lens 70-300 came and had a huge scratch or gash on the backside of the front lens..

[thomasrhee]

I haven't heard of a recall on the XT's and it makes NO sense that ONLY the black ones would get recalled. The interior parts are identical, just a different color exterior shell.

The reason most stores are out of the black ones is because it is by far the more popular color. When I was purchasing a XT for my wife, I had to wait about 2 weeks in order to find a "trusted" reseller to find a black one and the one that I got was the last one in stock (at 17th St. Photo).

I'm not sure who told you there was a recall but I'm assuming it was Wolf Camera since that's who you are dealing with. I suspect that they just want to wrap up a sale and sell you on a silver one. My local Wolf Camera has plenty of the black ones in stock, although only in the kit package. When I inquired about the body only, they tried to give me a bogus story of how Canon is ONLY selling the black ones in kit form. Either the salespeople are truly misinformed or they're recruiting used car salespeople.

My advice, go directly to the source and call Canon USA up directly and ask them if there is/was a recall on the black XT's.

For what it's worth, my wife's XT has no problems.

[byso]

I've had my black 350D for 3 weeks it's fantastic.

But I did go to a shop to try some lenses and when they used the store camera to try out.....the camera made a shocking noise when the internal flash popped up....there must be some faulty ones all around the world.

B&H has kits (but not lone bodies) back in stock as of Sunday the 10th.

[soupdragon]

Hi guys:


I have had my 350 for 3 weeks now (black) and, it is as far as I can tell, faultless.
The only focus issues I had were with 18-55 the kit lens which I hasten to add is a piece of junk. Just got a new 100 2.8 usm macro and the images are truly awesome.
I will try the two minute timer tonight and get back to you.

[johnboy00]

I got my silver XT from Dell yesterday ($724 delivered). I'm using mine with the Canon 28-105 3.5/4.5 off my EOS 5, and I seem to be having the soft focus problem also. Actually, it seems like its a depth of field problem, if that's even possible. The DOF is so shallow that I can't hardly take a picture where the subject is entirely in focus. Please post results from Canon service.

I just want to know how you got a 350D for $724 from Dell. I attempted to order one and it was $999.00 plus shipping/handling/tax/etc.......

Fill me in, I am ordering one tomorrow. Thanks

[Johnny V]

Check this page a couple times a day and look for discount codes for cameras and accessories, most of the time you can stack more than one discount code for really big savings.

http://www.techbargains.com/dellcoupons.cfm

I ordered the black 350D kit because I didn't want to wait months for the body alone...but my backorder has been backordered...

I had to pay tax but in the end it's still cheaper than B+H by $130.00.

[johnboy00]

What he said. I used a Dell 10% off coupon and a $90 off coupon on an $899 body, for a total discount of $180. Shipping was $5, and there's no tax for me (LA).

[Willie]

I just got my XT this week and seem to also have soft focus problems. I have the kit lens and my old 28-80 USM. I was expecting the pics to blow away my G5, but that's not the case. I can't beleive the AI Servo would have a hard time tracking little kids running around, but the shots are not very sharp.

[james12345]

No problems with mine so far... (knock on wood) Although I did run mine through the pixel test and it did reveal 1 hot pixel at exposures greater than 2 seconds. I have decided to keep the camera cause this one pixel doesnt bother me much and I guess I can have it mapped out later by canon.

Best of luck...

[Faz]

I have no probs with my Black 350D. Performed a similar test to KurtKhun. Set to ISO 1600, 5 sec exposure with and without the viewfinder blank. Sweet! It did manage to see off my old Sigma 28-300mm lens tho. Knackered the iris :( Knickers! Another £65 to get fixed with Sigma!

[oddball]

My black XT from B&H seems just fine... did the pixel test and noticed 2-3 hot pixels (blue). Not enough of a ball buster to send back though, the rest of the functions work great. Let's not even mention the 18-55 lens...:( (it's actually a decent lens; worth the $100 for an inexpensive wide zoom, just not as sharp as the nifty-fifty...)

[johnboy00]

Sent mine to the Canon Service Center in NJ to correct the focus problem, I'll let you know what happens!!

Be sure and let us know if they fixed it. Mine is front focusing by as much as 1.25 inches at ~20 inches from a test chart. It's no wonder my close ups are always blurry. Don't want to swap it for one that has same problem (or others; mine has zero dead/hot pixels), so I'd like Canon to fix it if they can.

Any news? I am planning on sending mine in for a front focussing correction. Other than that, the camera is perfect. :?

[Jackal]

How accurate is that one test I saw someone doing in this forum where they would focus on their computer monitor?

Perfect focus would be when you see all these weird colored lines bending everywhere (moiré is it? forgot the term.)

[johnboy00]

Same here. I don't want to send mine in until I know for sure that Canon service can and will fix it. Tomorrow, I'll be trying my XT with a coworker's Sigma 28-70 2.8 that he says is awesome with his 10D. He'll take a few shots with my EF 28-105 3.5/4.5 USM as well. Unless it's a combo problem (XT and EF 28-105), that should show which piece is at fault. I also bought a kit lens off eBay, which I should get by Friday. That'll cover my wide angle needs, and should provide additional confirmation that the front focusing problem is with the XT.

Hi-
I'm currently experiencinga major problem with my black XT (though I don't believe the color has anything to do with it)
I have a 75-300 IS USM Canon lens. The first week I had the XT, I shot with the crappy kit lens and it was fine. When I decided to go out shooting with my 300mm lens, it was alright for about 100 shots and then I got the dreaded 'err 99'!!!! Everything froze up, it gave that half hearted hollow sounding shutter, and nothing would record to the card. I turned it on and then off, and it was okay for another 20 shots or so, then the same thing happened. It happens on and off, only with the 75-300mm lens. Pretty annoying!

Well, last week I shelled out $600 to get the EF-S 17-85 IS USM lens. It worked for again, about 75 shots and then it DIED. I am telling you, the camera will not work! The shutter will not depress, the aperture reads "00" (?!?!?!) and I get the 'err 01' (Which means lens communication error, clean the contacts, but both the camera and the lens are literally brand new!)
It doesn't happen on and off with the 17-85 lens, it's completely dead to it and non-functioning.

Also, when the 17-85mm is attached, anything I do the camera, wheater it's turned on or off, it makes an electronic clicking noise. Not a focusing noise, but this strange clicking and churning (not the IS either) If I open the CF door (while off) it makes the noise, if I take the battery out or put a new one in it makes the noise. VERY strange since none of the other lenses do that. If I weren't so mad at all of the money I've speant, it would actually be slightly funny that the camera is having such a hard time being 'compatible' with Canon lenses...:eek:

As to be expected, I'm extremely upset. I've tried reformating both of my 1GB sandisk cards, trying two different batteries, changing lenses back and then forth, but nothing works! The ONLY lens that will work with the camera now is the crappy kit lens which I don't want anyways!

Has anyone else experienced such a problem? I know there were firmware upgrades for the 20d but its way to soon to have a firmware upgrade for the XT. I mailed it off to Canon in NJ yesterday, I guess I'm just going to have to wait a few weeks and see if it's fixable. :cry: Ugh, this is so annoying.

[johnboy00]

If not for your problems with the 75-300 lens, I'd say it sounds like a bad 17-85 lens. Or maybe its a power problem, since the 17-85 IS uses more power than your 18-55 kit lens. Did you try turning off the IS before you sent the XT in for service? Also, it could be that the 75-300 uses more power too since it has more/heavier glass to move. Is the 75-300 a USM model?

Yep, the 75-300mm IS lens is a USM model.

And yep, I turned off the IS on both lenses, changed the battery, formatted the CF cards, and nothing works. I'm pretty sure its the XT itself since my 75-300 IS USM lens work wonderfully on my film Elan 7ne body.
If it is a power issue, I don't understand why they would make the XT not able to work with the EF-S 17-85 lens since the lens is made for digitals... if that's the case and it's always going to be an issue I'm definitely going to try to return the camera because I don't want to have the use the kit lens the rest of my life...

I do hope there is a solution for this problem, and that Canon can fix it quickly... :(

Thank you for your response, this has been frustrating, I'm glad to know others are reading! :)

By "power problem", I don't mean that the XT wasn't designed to handle those IS lenses. That surely can't be the case. What I meant was that there may be a faulty component somewhere in your camera's "power grid" that chokes on lenses drawing more power than the kit lens does. It's just a guess; and if true, it can be fixed.

[micklemuk]

mine has been working perfectly

I changed mine to 2 minutes yesterday and today it's dead so I assume I have the same problem.
Did it fix the problem with more than 1 minute time out and do you have to do it after every change?
Thanks,

[CappuccinoDavid]

My is all right, well so far...

[dedalus-6]

my black one is fine and working brilliantly.

[DVad3r]

Hey, I bought a Rebel XT Black body a few days ago. I can't use it yet cause I am waiting for my CF card, but last night while holding it, I noticed that there seems to be something loose about in the camera. I have searched around the net and people are apperently saying it is the Flash making the loose noise when closed because of cheap build, but this is not so with mine. The flash is rock solid when closed and there is nothing loose about it. There is a distinct sound coming from inside the camera when moving it up and down. I took off the kit lense thinking it might be that but the sound is still there. Anyone else have this too? I'm scared the camera might have gotten damaged during shipping, and I think I am going to go to a store to see if the other XT's have it too, how about you guys?


Please help !!!

-Peter

[Jackal]

It's normal.

Mine has it to. From what I heard (and someone correct me if I am wrong). It's the little thingymabob that tells the camera if it's in the vertical position or horizontal (so that it auto rotates images for the LCD preview).

I'm sure your flash hinges jiggle as well....Mine does when it's closed. You can hear it if you jiggle the camera hard. It's the hinges that hold up the flash when you make it pop up.

[adnil]

This used to happen to my XT. I then changed it to one minute and now have no problem.

[felix21685]

i hope they fix this in the next firmware update..

cant believe they wouldnt check something like this before they sent them out

[Jackal]

If there's a problem with setting it to anything higher than 1 minute it hasn't bothered me. I like having it set to 1 minute. Saves battery I guess.

The fact that the XT can start shooting as soon as I press the shutter button makes it seem like it's ALWAYS on hehe.

Although, would be best for them to fix this in a firmware update.

[martincollett]

Here's my experience of the 350D / digital rebel auto power off problem:
from new, the camera powers off on all time settings fine. Remove and replace the main battery and it stays permanently on for all settings other than 1 minute. To 'fix' the problem, remove the main battery and the button cell, replace them, the camera is back like new, auto power off works fine for all time settings. Remove the main battery and replace it, the power off problem returns.
I swapped the body at the store (Jessops UK, very helpful), same problem, and the demo body at the store is also the same. Canon UK don't seem to be aware of a firmware problem.
Like Jackal says, it's not a major issue, I leave mine set to 1 minute, but if it's offered as a feature it should work. The camera still takes fabulous pictures.

[BEACHCREATURE]

I been searching to see if anyone else has had as many problems as I have with the Rebel XT Black version.....

Im on my 3rd camera so far which is a loaner from the local store here in my area.

1st Camera (black) from B&H: Dead, stuck and hot pixels all over the screen. Noticable at all ISOs regardless the speed.

2nd Camera (black) from Wolf Camera: Huge set of hot pixels in the bottom left about half the size of an eraser tip.

3rd Camera (silver) from Wolf Camera: Works fine but it's a loaner as I really can't stand the silver bodys (personal preference)

Anyone else notice this problem? I went to pick my new black one up today but they said all the black ones were pulled from the shipment and they would have to find out what was up and call me.

Maybe I need to start looking for four leaf clovers this weekend :cry:

NEW CAMERA BUT IT FROZE AND WILL NOT SHOOT ,I TAKE THE BATTERY OUT AND REBOOT , FREEZES AGAIN

Yes I have problems with the silver camera, the flash is very poor, and cannot take good pictures. Phil
