Cameraless.

Yesterday I packaged up both my digital cameras and mailed them off to be serviced at the Canon Factory center in Jersey.
My rebel xti has a dead pixel in the image sensor (SAME thing happened to my old rebel xt,) and my small sd800 has a cluster of dead pixels on the back lcd screen. I'm left with my work camera, a Fuji S3, but that generally has to be kept at work, and with Christmas break coming up I won't have much access to it. Oh my, will I really have to revert back to my film Elan 7ne?!?! (which I used to prefer anyways???)

I'm just worried because I've sent them off into the postage world during one of the busiest shipping times of the year. My poor babies :( Here's hoping for a safe return....

IN OTHER NEWS.... has everyone bought & received all of the sale shirts they've wanted? I've got just a couple more that I've been eying, and just 2 that I'm still waiting to be delivered.

I thought ACR was supposed to fix hot/dead pixels?

What's acr? Are you talking about the software that comes with the xti that will identify dust spots on the lens or sensor and automatically remove them?

noo...adobe camera raw.....I dunno if you use it or not

Hope you get your camera back and all fixed in top speed!

No I use the canon raw software if I'm using raw files... the problem is when you have a dead pixel in the actual image sensor, it's going to be on every single one of your images and you have to take the time to take it out. It takes a microsecond to fix one image but I shoot weddings and bands regularly and it all adds up to wasted time fixing each image. It's something a photographer shouldn't have to worry about!
Thanks for the tip though!

Thank you Ms Ladykat! I will be waiting with bated breath, it'll be quite a long two weeks...
