freddy333 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Apparently, a large number of older Canon p&s cameras (affected models - A60, A70, A75, A300, A310, S230, SD100, SD110, A40(*), A80(*), A85(*), A95(*), S1 IS(*), S60(*), S200(*), S330(*), S400(*), S410(*), S500(*)) were fitted with defective image sensors, which may fail prematurely. Connections inside the image sensor may become disconnected, which affects the camera's ability to display/record new images. Indications of this defect are either no image or a completely distorted image in BOTH the LCD viewer & any pics taken with the camera after the problem appears However, any known good pics previously shot/stored on your CF card (or on another CF card that you install in your camera), will display correctly/normally on the LCD viewer when the camera is switched into Playback mode. If your camera has this defect, Canon will repair it for free (including shipping to & from their repair facility), regardless of the camera's warranty status. See this link for details. Also, Photobucket is now limiting users to a max of 159MB of upload space (you need to purchase a 'Pro' account to get additional space).

freddy333 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 UPDATE - My camera arrived back today (10 days total round-trip time) & in perfect working order. Even though the camera is long out of warranty, Canon repaired it for 0 cost (including shipping both ways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
