Do not look at the eclipse with your bare eyes or through the viewfinder. It can fry your sensor as well as your eyes.

MrEclipse has some good advice on eclipse photography.
In a nutshell you basically need a solar filter on the camera so you dont fry the sensor. |

here are a few links for solar filter film, its sorta expensive, but you can make your own filters for either a camera or binoculars
