My Camera turns on But will not take a picture, I push the button to take a picture and it doesnt do anything! I took the batteries out, charged batteries, took out the lens, took out the card, and put them back in, i cant find anything wrong, the button will not work, PLEASE HELP! I have the Canon Rebel XTi.
Your problem may be due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the
battery contacts inside the camera
which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the
camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the
batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with
a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush,
steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen
into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of
the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears
the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your
batteries may need to be replaced, or the camera may have
a problem that requires professional repair.

I got error cf after shooting about 20+ pics on a new card. I formatted the card & it works again (i didn't format it to start with). Is it my fault for not formatting the card to begin with? Or would you return the card? I'm worried about losing more pictures. Should I be? Thanks
