I've tried changing both batteries, different flash cards, different lenses but no luck. I can hear something actuating but it's like the shutter isnt opening. Fortunately I have about 8 months warranty left..I'll get it fixed and see if I can upgrade to a 1D MKII, not the S (there's a camera tip) and then use it as a back up...of course now I am sans camera this weekend. Of an holiday to France in a week so it could have been worse timing wise...especially had I planned to take in Le Mans
If you have a sensor cleaning option, you can see if the mirror is not lifting, and if it does, you can see if the shutter is opening or not too. If it's still in warranty i would definately get it off ASAP, although i don't know if the shutter is covered in the 10D or not (has a quoted life?)
