Title: Digital Rebel XS error code 99 Post by: jamisan on August 13, 2009, 07:13:55 AM Taking some shots last night and got this error code 99. Turned camera off and back on,took a couple more shots and same code,turned camera off took out batt ,replaced. Took a couple more shots and same code only this time would not take any more pics and kept getting the 99. Did a google search and all discussions were saying either lens or batt problem. I have 3 lenses and 2 batts, same thing, error code 99. Well this morning I thought the only thing I did not try was swapping out mem cards,sure enough so far with 2 of my lenses,working perfect.Didnt have time for the 3rd one
So has anyone had this error code and If so could it be the mem card? I started a repair ticket with Canon, cameras is still under warranty. Should I go ahead and send it in or wait a couple of weeks and see If the mem card had indeed fixed it? Thanks for any imput Title: Re: Digital Rebel XS error code 99 Post by: jamisan on August 13, 2009, 10:32:21 AM Did some more google search and found this

Anyone had any experience with Canon service? Title: Re: Digital Rebel XS error code 99 Post by: danw on August 21, 2009, 04:02:47 PM I've used Canon Service twice. Very pleased both times. In addition to correct and fast repairs, both items were cleaned, recalibrated and express shipped for the return back to me.
