In a few hours of research I believe I have a CCD sensor problem and I am looking for advice. Camera is 4 years old and went from good pictures to blaack photos. Shutter is working, removed battery, changed SD card, reverted back to factory settings and still black images. If this is a sensor problem would you send in to fix? Fix yourself if you can find parts or get a new camera. I'm bummed. I have had to Canon and I love theem but first one lasted 7 years and now this one only 4 without a problem. Any feedback would be helpful!
Cameras use a CMOS sensor now. Does live view also cause the same black picture result. When in live view it uses the image sensor to show a live image. A faulty image sensor sensor will show up during live view too.

Repair is NOT worth it for this camera. It would be best to upgrade to a new camera. The image sensor costs more than the camera itself. Do you have a budget to spend on a camera. If so what are your needs for a new camera.

I am lazy and I really have have liked the ease of use of my previous Rebels. I take outdoor sports photos and lots of candid and portraits for good faamily and friends. Recreational use and would like to spend less than $1000 for new base.
DSLR cameras are being replaced by mirrorless cameras. I recommend looking into the EOS R10. If you want to stick with a DSLR look into the Rebel T8i. EOS R Mirrorless cameras are the future.
