What is the "color temperature" of your camera set to?


I don't think that there is a way of reading which color temperature the EOS
300D is set to, or is there? But the camera is set to the standard 'flash'
white balance and this worked fine up until a month ago...

Have you done a factory reset?


I reset the camera to its default settings, but
unfortunately this didn't help.

Have you tried taking the batteries out of the camera and letting it sit
for a while?


I take out the batteries after every shoot for about 24 hours...

take the damn camera to the nearest Canon repair place and let them have a
look. It almost certainly won't take "a month".


My experience with repair times is different than yours and I've different
(paid) shoots a week, that's why I'm reluctant to take the camera to
repairs. I hope I'll share your optimism by experience in a very short time
:-)

I'm a lowly computer programmer, so I can't expense my optics or
bodies as a working professional could (bogus tax laws and the like).
If I was in your position, I would have a second (or third) body, and
look into CPS membership:

In Canada, CPS types move to the front of the human queue at their
repair facilities, and perhaps their equipment moves to the front of
the repair queue as well.

If you are a professional - never have only just one camera body.
