Re: Canon Rebel EOS XS probably with obturator problems. (according to shop)

You are right, If I look closely I can see how the shutter arms move, but it seems that the blades are decoupled.

How does these kits work:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-PCS-New-Shutter-Blade-Curtain-Replacement-for-Canon-450D-550D-500D-1000D-600D-/251786441116?hash=item3a9fa4319c:g:TtwAAOSwPe1T5eoB

I saw some videos and it seems is a big deal to disassemble all the stuff just to get there, but if I already decided not to pay for a professional service (I quited and price was too high!), change the blades worth the try?

There is a second option, and is to chane all the mechanism, but is abit more money and is a used parto, so I believe the failure probability will be higher.

Any opinion? Maybe I just need t trash this camera
