I have a Canon XSi that I picked up on craigslist a couple of years ago that I've been using for time lapse projects.
I set it up last night during a storm and went to bed with it going. Today when I checked on it, the screen read "Error 99" and the shutter wouldn't click.
I got the shutter going again, but unfortunately, the issue is terminal...

This wasn't totally unexpected though and I figured with all the clicks I was putting on it, it would happen sooner or later but was obviously hoping for later...
