| I was wondering if anyone might know how to kick a digital Rebel into B&W mode, or if it even has b&w mode. Sorry if this has already been asked before! |

| The rebel doesn't have b/w mode. You can do this in post processing software like Photoshop, Elements or Paint Shop Pro. |

Why? other than the preview to see what b&w looks like (which you don't get with a film camera with b&w film either) why shoot the orignial in b&w? there are several ways to make it b&w in PS or any editing program (one click or very complex with layers for adjustability)and you still have your orignal color shot for other uses or effects. |

Normally images taken in black and white mode have very poor contrast and more akin to a weak grayscale. Even if your camera did have a b&w mode it would be more beneficial to convert or tweak the shot in editing software.
PS. It doesnt have a 'movie' mode either :P

Yeah, bummer.
You could just shoot black and white things. That would work! ;-) |

For convenience, mostly.
And I didn't want a movie mode, thanks. :-p I just wanted black and white "film". It's not like I'd take colour film pictures and try to put them on black & white paper, so I figured I'd ask about the equivalent on digital. |

i did that plenty of times in my darkroom - using color negatives to print BW prints.... you have to know how to look at them in a BW sense though or they will be flat - like BW mode on a digi cam
you'll get better results converting color digital to BWon the pc than any -on camera- BW setting.

| Yeah, I was upset that my 10D didn't have B/W or Sepia either. But, that's because I didn't know how to do it in PS. Now, I am learning. It really is better since there is more control. As for developing film in the darkroom... I did that for years! Color film is such a pain in the butt to do in B/W. You need a ton of patience to get the photo right... and then, the roll may not be consistent, so you have to change all your settings for your next picture! I prefer to shoot 35mm IN B/W film if I am going to do b/w developing. :) |
