Help! New Canon Digital XT

[LJAG54]

Hi, Brand new to this group...and to digital photography. I just bought the Rebel Xt....and have been using it for only a day when this weird "problem" has resurrected. I seem to be having a problem with either my battery or my compact flash card...or the camera itself that manifests itself in the little "Busy" light contantly blinking.....even long after I shut the power off (1 hour or more later). As a matter of fact, I had a fully charged battery in the camera overnight, and it seemed to be exhausted this morning, and I had to recharge it for the full 90 minute charge. After about 3 hours of perfectly normal functioning (ie....light blinking busy only when I shot a picture) when it started doing the blinking again and the screen started blinking. Additionally, my picture review went from the 8 seconds I had it on to a fraction of a second and shutting off! Any ideas what's going on here. I tried calling Canon...but, of course, it was the holiday! Any ideas would be appreciated. Lloyd:)

This is the wrong forum for your question. If you want an answer, I suggest that you delete this post (no double posting allowed) and re-post in the proper forum or PM Jeff Keller (the administrator) and ask him to move your post. Good luck! :)
