angel_bocanegra Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>canon rebel g? how old is that? is it digital?. I dont know where you could get a sensor for any dslrs. You can try ebay and search for full complete bodys and just take out the sensor or just buy a used 20d or something better.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandra_falksen Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 <p>Just as Sheldon said, it is a film camera. Just buy a new battery and some film and give it a whirl. I've used one before. Try it. You might like it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_wang6 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>Little black dots? Where do you see them? Through the viewfinder? On the print you get back? Or on the negative itself? And the scratches--do you see them on the lens, in the viewfinder, on the negatives/prints?</p> <p>If on the negatives or prints for either defect, where do you see them? In the center, on the corner? Are they in the same place from frame to frame throughout the whole roll? Are they very noticeable or tiny? Are the scratches horizontal lines across the long dimension of the frame? If they're very noticeable but somewhat blurry spots then the problem could be the lens. If there are horizontal scratches then the film was mishandled during processing or there was a piece of dust in the flap.</p> <p>If you only see these defects when you look through the viewfinder, unmount the lens and look at the reflex mirror through the front. If you see the same defects there, then you should be okay because although they may be distracting while composing your image, they will not show up on the film.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_wang6 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>Any defects showing on the mirror are not going to show in the developed film or any prints made from the film. This is because the purpose of the mirror is to allow the photographer to preview the image being captured, in much the same way that it will actually be exposed on the film. This permits the photographer to determine proper focus and exposure settings. When you press the shutter release button, the mirror swings up temporarily. The incoming light that exposes the film does not interact with the mirror. So marks or scratches on the mirror do not show up on your film.</p> <p>Now, if there were a defect in the <strong>lens</strong> , you would have a more serious problem. The lens focuses the incoming light. If something blocks or improperly interferes with that light, you may see it in the resulting exposure.</p> <p>Happy shooting!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach_hopkins Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>Alright this might sound really stupid but im trying to learn as much as i can. what about the thing above the reflex mirrior (sorry dont know to much about this) thats what has most of the dots on it would that be a problem?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjb Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>Zack, when you look through the viewfinder. you are lookin into a prism, that then looks at the mirror at right angle, then looks through the lens at the subject in line with the film, hence the name SLR (single lens reflex) when you take a pic the mirror swings up as previously explained. the piece above the mirror is generally the focus screan to be honest i don`t know this model, someone else may help with this as some cameras can have the screan removed for clean or replacement with another..CHEERS :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_ziegler2 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>Just shoot a roll of film and have it developed. See what results you get. You may be pleasantly surprised.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudor_apmadoc Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>I would send it in to Canon repair - have them do a cleaning of the camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenPapai Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 <p>Not worth the repair/cleaning cost. But then, like was suggested, run some film thru it first and see what happens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
