Have a Canon EOS 300D with an issue.

Pushing the shutter allows the camera to take a picture which is clearly displayed on the LCD screen. After the image disappears, pushing the playback button results in a completely distorted, multi color banded and extremely grainy image bearing very little resemblance to the original picture.

Removing the CF card from the 300D and playing back on a Canon 20D results in a perfectly clear image on the 20D screen.

Reviewing images on the 300D taken using the 20D with a different CF card results in the distorted views.

It appears that the playback feature on the 300D will not reproduce pictures that are correctly written to a CF card.

Also, the red access light does not blink when the image is being transfered to the CF card.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest you use your 20D instead. a much better camera .

Thanks.
