<p>I received a few suggestions to take off the lens, set the camera to a slow shutter speed and watch inside. If the mirrors flip up and the image sensor is exposed, that's a good sign. Unfortunately, the black curtain in front of my image sensor is not moving anymore.<br>

Looks like I need a new camera.</p>

<p>I was taking photos today with my Canon Digital Rebel 300D (obviously a pretty old camera now) and out of the blue all my photos started coming out black, like I was taking photos with the lens cap on. I've tried using multiple lenses, but the result is always the same- totally black. I've tried different modes and settings and I get the same result. I hear the shutter click and everything feels fine.<br>

Any ideas about what broke? If so, any idea how much it costs to fix if it's even repairable?<br>

Thanks,<br /> Mike</p>
