First shot black is when you turn on your 7D or

5D, take a picture and it displays black on your LCD and locks the camera up. You must turn it off, sometimes drop the battery, and then turn it back on and generally all returns to normal.

Mine has done it for about the last 6 months on a very random basis. No particular lens or battery or CF card.

The repairs that have been made have varied from Precision reseating the internal cables to complete shutter replacements.
