OT: Sony CCD Advisory Notice

Cross-posted to uk.rec.engines.stationary uk.rec/models.engineering

If anyone has a Sony digital camera with a CCD sensor that has failed (no picture or blurred picture) there is a free repair programme being run by Sony.

One of our cameras died during the winter for no reason, and after a bit of investigation we found details of the Sony programme on the net.

Here is one of the sites with the details and a list of affected models.

Ours is on its way this morning after a quick call to confirm eligibility for the return. It's a Freepost address and there is a form to download and fill in AFTER contacting the Service Centre who will give to a code to write on the return form.

There is no return programme if the camera is working normally, they say that the programme will run for the foreseeable future, which is reassuring as we have another of the affected models which is OK at present.

Interesting to see how many other camera makers have bought their CCD's from Sony....

AIUI, among the other manufacturers only Canon make their own sensors, and even then they make CMOS sensors for their higher range stuff and buy in CCD sensors for the bog standard compacts.
