Hi all,

I got a question here that maybe someone can help me with. I have an older 300D that was given to me a long time ago, but never really got around to messing with it as I have been using an XS. Anyway the person who gave the 300D to me mentioned that "it had a mond of it's own". According to them some days it would just decide not to work, and became really unreliable.

I started to play with this camera and see what all it could do, and it seemed to be working fine till just all of a sudden out of the blue I took a picture and it was seriously under exposed. I tried this on all settings with, and without flash etc. It did not matter it acted like I was shooting ISO 100 on a shutter speed of 1/3200 at midnight in the middle of no where. It was dark. :confused:

I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this on a 300D or really on any Canon EOS digital. If so is it something easy to tinker with and fix, or is it most likely a shot sensor? :(

I would like to keep this 300D around as backup till I upgrade the XS, as even though it is an older model I got some really nice IQ shots with it before it decided to go all underexposed on me. Oh also the exposure problem comes and goes. I can be shooting fine all day then take a shot and it happens. I can then shut it down, take the battery out and come back later...fire it up and it is good to go till who knows when. There is no consistency it seems as to when it decides to act up. It is totally sporadic.
