so, this is the current output from my camera. It just started to happen and now all of my shots look like this. And no, the lens cap is not on and this happens for any lens i throw on top.
im hoping someone has words of wisdom or at least a pat on the back that everything will be alright?

I'd say your mirror doesn't work anymore :(
(after checking the EXIF, which doesn't say anything else)

It says you're at 1/200th at f/8 and ISO 100. Were you indoors???

There's no latent image that I can find. Methinks your shutter is due for replacement. |

Oh dear, looks like some sort of shutter failure.
I`m sure canon can fix it quickly. How much it`s costs i don`t know. |

the mirror moves? though when i look at the shutter without a lens on, I do not see the sensor exposed.
is the shutter operation different from the mirror?
how much time/$ is this gonna cost?

just unmount the lens, put the camera on "bulb" or maybe like 2 sec. press the shutter and you'll see if the mirror/shutter locks up.
if shutter and mirror work properly, then it must be a sensor failure... |

Try sensor cleaning mode. The shutter should open and expose the sensor.
Then try the bulb experiment, without the lens (if it lets you). You should again see the sensor.

sensor clean and bulb test report the same thing
the mirror opens but there is no sensor exposed just a thin wall with four slits. I assume this is my shutter and this is what im going to need to get replaced?
thanks again guys, really appreciate the help. |

That happened to me last year and I had to have the shutter replaced.

I understand how that affects what he sees on the camera's screen, but how could it affect an actual FILE? |

It may be a better option to upgrade cameras, Canon's starting price is $150 plus parts and such, not sure if its worth that to keep the camera, or if it might be better to fork out a few hundred more to upgrade. It does sound like a shutter issue, but I'm no professional. Hope it gets worked out.

It looks like the color balance is off too. Maybe they can fix that when they fix the shutter? ;D
It cost $180 to replace the shutter in my D30. It was in and back to me in 10 days. I've heard that the Calf service center is better than the NJ one. I know the Calf one did a fast and good job.

I just just my 20D out of the local shop, while there I asked about the shutter. The guy told me the 20D shutter was about $35. It's that labor that will kill you. Don't know if the 300 shutter would be more or less, there is a point where old cost more.
My 20D was in for the Shutter release button...Invoice states $11 for that part the total ended up just under $200. I think I'll just go to Canon (Irvine) next time. |
