Nope. BUT, I did leave the camera on ISO 1600 once after taking pics of Claire reading a book in the dark with a flashlight. Had lovely grainy pics the whole next day…portraits of a friend’s daughter. Had to invest in NeatImage just to save face. Fortunately, it worked like a charm…

Ummm… I do a few times a year. But I usually notice when I can’t take the first pic. (There should be an option in one of the menus “shoot without card” make sure that’s set to off and then it won’t act like it’s taking a picture and you’ll think hmmm something is wrong a lot quicker.)
I’ve also shot outside in the snow after using a custom white balance setting and had a series of blue pictures I was not able to make unblue. And like Amy, I’ve lost some to the wrong ISO too.

I feel your pain, buddy. It’s along the same lines as forgetting to remove the lens cover, no film in the camera, and finger over the lens.
My own private bitterness, was that my super duper HD video camera, the Canon VIXIA HV 30, that I ordered to film the Luau came the day after the party. Grrr!

Since you asked for it, here is a movielette using the new Canon VIXIA HV30 HD camcorder. I call it The Afterglow. I couldn’t host it on Flickr ’cause I don’t have a Pro account! I had to compress it down to upload it, so all of the HD glory doesn’t shine through online, but rest assured, it’s there!
