>From Canon: It has recently come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in Canon digital camera and digital camcorders may cause the following malfunction: When the product is used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all. While reports of this malfunction have been rare in the United States, we have determined that it may occur if the product is exposed to hot and humid environments. Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of charge, products exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair. U.S. residents are kindly directed to contact the Canon Customer Support Center for further assistance at 1-800-828-4040. Support hours are Monday thru Friday - 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight; and Saturday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (all times EST). Alternatively, if electronic support is preferred, please send your email to carecenter@cits.canon.com This information is for residents of the United States of America and Puerto Rico only. If you do not reside in the USA or Puerto Rico, please contact the Canon Customer Support Center in your region. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue, and appreciate your understanding in this matter. Thank you for your support and patronage of Canon products. > >From Canon: > > It has recently come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD > image sensor used in Canon digital camera and digital camcorders may > cause the following malfunction: What is your f.cking point troll? I'm seriously considering switching to the K10D but not because of a year old Canon recall for cameras that I don't use or even own. Greg >> >From Canon: >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > year > old Canon recall for cameras that I don't use or even own. Actually the update is from October 31 2006. I replied to the troll against my better judgement, but only for the proper edification of the users here. > > >From Canon: > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Greg Guess what gumby?

You ever stop to think it might be an error on the Canon site? "Affected products: - Camcorders: ZR60, ZR65 MC, ZR70 MC, ZR80, ZR85, ZR90, ELURA 40 MC, ELURA 50 - Digital Cameras A60, A70, A75, A300, A310, S230, SD100, SD110, A40(*), A80(*), A85(*), A95(*), S1 IS(*), S60(*), S200(*), S330(*), S400(*), S410(*), S500(*)" Another clue might be "It has recently come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in Canon digital cameras may cause the following malfunction". Since when does the XTi use a CCD?

For the others in the group who may be interested in the facts: From Canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&fcategoryi d=225&modelid=13390&keycode=2112&id=29819 Affected products: - Camcorders: ZR60, ZR65 MC, ZR70 MC, ZR80, ZR85, ZR90, ELURA 40 MC, ELURA 50 - Digital Cameras A60, A70, A75, A300, A310, S230, SD100, SD110, A40(*), A80(*), A85(*), A95(*), S1 IS(*), S60(*), S200(*), S330(*), S400(*), S410(*), S500(*) *Models added as of Oct.31, 2006 Nice how you snipped two lines out of the advisory which would have shown that the advisory is not relevant to DSLR cameras. I noticed as of this writing you haven't posted this helpful information in the rec.photo.digital group, so I did it for you. :-p >> >From Canon: >> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >:-p Misleading is putting it mildly. If he had read the article he selectively quoted he would have known it was an update to a service notice from a year ago. Also, if he had done even the slightest amount of research (Google CANON RECALL CCD) he would have discovered this is a SONY problem, and it affects cameras manufactured by Canon, Fujifilm, Sony, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Ricoh, Olympus, and ... PENTAX. None of the affected cameras, BTW, are DSLRs. (Rich, this is what this froup is about.)
