My Canon 1D MkIII seems to have a bust sensor. The camera functions all work yet when I press the shutter no image is recorded. All the camera information is displayed on the back of the screen, the histogram shows nothing and where the image should be is just black (but showing where the AF points were). I have checked the cards and lenses. I can only conclude that the sensor has gone. Anyone experienced this?
Sensor Gone?

Does the shutter move? Shutters fail more frequently than sensors.

Are you a CPS member? I'd get it to Elstree and ask them to have a look.

Elstree's number is +44 800 915 0009 and they're very helpful.
It needn't be hugely expensive, I had a new shutter on a 1ds as an example, £220 + VAT

Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow. The 1D MkIII had mirror sub-assembly problems and some were recalled for a fix. My serial number falls into the affected batch but it was never sent back for the fix as it worked!!
But I don't think it is the mirror sub assembly as the focus and tracking work perfectly. I'll see what CPS say!
