error 99, my canon Rebel XSi stopped working. It stated error 99 as soon as I want to push the button to take a pic. Any suggestions?

I never have problem like your XSi. However, there is a couple things you can try. First, turn the camera power off. Remove the lens to check the contacts on the lens. If it looks tarnished or dirty, clean it with a Q-tip soaked lightly with alcohol. Re-mount the lens and power it back on. If it works, you are done. However, it fails again, try using a different SD card by formatting it in the camera and try shooting again. If you have another lens, you can shoot with it to see if you experience the same failure. If the other lens works, then the failure is caused by the lens.

M. Medina, so sorry to hear of your xsi having an error 99. It is my understanding that error 99 is a fatal error with multiple causes. One suggestion I have read was to take the battery out for at least 5 mins and the restart the camera. If this doesn't reboot the camera then it is probably a fatal error. In my personal experience my error 99 was because of my shutter leaflets getting out of alignment. To see if this is your issue take your Lens off and VERY gently lift the mirror-DO NOT FORCE IT UP IF IT WONT MOVE - once u lift the mirror U will see the shutter leafs, they should be layered and lying flat. If they are not flat and even that is the cause of your Error 99. U MAY be able to flick them back into alignment, but be Very Very gentle as not to bend then. If your shutter is bad good luck in getting it proffessionally fixed. I was unable to fix mine for a reasonable price. I am purchasing a new camera as you read this. I hope this helps and I wish you the best if luck.

Yes that happened to me too. I thought it was a user error, but after reading reviews, it seems to happen to half the users. This camera is the worst purchase someone could make. Send it back asap with your receipt and make a copy!!! I took too long so Pentax wouldn't fix it for me. PS. I only took the camera to 10 feet.

I had same issue. Time to get new camera. Mine died just two days after warranty.

I have a canon T3i rebel and it worked... but I have not had any luck since the first time I used it. I have changed batteries, still does not work...

Try doing a full format of the card. I have used this card on both Canon and Nikon, several models and never had an issue. Might want to contact Nikon if a full format of the card does not work. There is no firmware on the card that should need to be updated.

Try resetting camera by using a needle. Insert needle in little between usb port and memory card. Worked for me.

I had the same issue. Camera refused to operate. Said it was not a Nikon battery after firmware upgrade.

I've never had that problem, Joyce, but have had a lens error where the camera wouldn't open OR close. Hope you get it resolved. The digital card that is in the little slot--if you push DOWN on it, the card should pop up. Maybe try that? Good luck!

Lex:Mine worked with no problem. Check the compatibility with your camera and if it is compatible, they may be defected. Sorry to hear about your trouble.Bahador

I thought I had the same problem but it seems that this particular type of camera is just a piece of junk. Sorry you got stuck with this!!

I, too, am having shutter problems. I have had my D50 camera since 2005 and have close to 18K shutter releases. Now, it completely sticks, gives me an "ERR" message and then I have to click again to release it, but it will not take a picture. I have loved my camera since the moment I got it. Now I need to ship it to Nikon and wait for the estimate. $300 to repair it??? is it worth it?

The card may be corrupt. Does it work in another device? If it does, format the card in the device it works in and try the card again in the Canon. If it still does not work then I am not sure why it is giving you an error. Ensure the camera is off and unplugged when you insert the card too, just to be safe. Good luck!

I had that problem, the aperture problem which resulted in overexposure. Called Fujifilm, sent the camera, and it fixed and came back. I paid the shipping cost to their service center but service was quick and replacement itself was free. I had that problem with quite early lot, but I guess current lot does not have such problem or if you have then you can get the replacement service.

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

Hi, I've had this canon for 2,5 years and took thousands of pictures and all the functions work.When did you buy it- do you have the option to return it?

Jim: Sorry you are having problems, the only thing that I can suggest is that when you click on the photo on Kodak Pulse see if you can click the save option on the picture. My Kodak went on the blank a few months back and I could get it to work properly any longer. I hope it works for you, any photos that you have mailed to your Kodak Frame cc to your e-mail account and then save from that e-mail that you had CC copy to. Thanks

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!
