Possible Canon 7D fault

If it is not the card, then I think it has to go in. I can't see how the sensor could do this. More likely something in the electronics.

It almost looks as some kind of electronic interference. Definitely try a new card.

nope not the CF card ill try and get my money back first since i bought it yesterday

if yo ucant get the link bck, check that thread I posted, I think they did find it was the sensor going bad.

i dont think its the card because in live view mode with no card in it i can see the bands on the LCD screen

yeah, it is probably a data channel that isn't being read then. Sucks.

Hopefully you can get a refund on it.

well they stated specificaly that the shutter count was 6000 - its 1750 and they said that it was in perfect working condition and its not so ill try and be nice and ask for a exchange or money back or dispute it,

thanks for all the help damn annoying i must add, would you recommend staying away from the 2nd hand camera market?

Many Thanks

I tend to avoid buying things that are expensive and complex (cameras, automobiles, etc.) second-hand from anyone other than someone who I know well and have a good relationship with in case there's a problem.

what would canon charge to fix a fault like this?
