Trouble with a Canon EOS 700 I recently purchased a used Canon EOS 700 which seemed to work great until I got my first films developed from it. Out of 2 full 24 exp rolls of film I only had 15 images, the rest were totally blank. Pictures were taken both with and without a flash and some of each came out. If anyone has any idea what would have caused this I'd greatly appreciate it.

http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/eoscamera/EOS700/index.htm is a pretty good overview of this old model. Blank frames are either severely underexposed unlikely given the 700's exposure modes are all totally automatic. My guess is the shutter is malfunctioning. Early EOS models, like the 700, have a problem with the foam bumper stops for the shutter deteriorating and turning to a sticky goo. See http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CFFB for an example.
