Oh oh! Sony defective CMOS!!!!
Her is the link if you prefer in French:http://www.figaro.fr/...
..../afp_depeches/hightech/051129155734.ojwh0016.html Defects on certain sensors of numerical cameras and caméscopes AFP [ Tuesday November 29, 2005 - 16h57 ] Numerical cameras sold in a great surface © AFP Martin Office PARIS (AFP) - the numerical cameras and the caméscopes using sensors CCC risk, under certain conditions, to suffer from defects of posting and recording of the image, according to an investigation published in the December issue of of the magazine the Photographer. However, according to Sony, principal manufacturer of these sensors, the number of affected apparatuses is "not very important". These sensors CCC (Load Coupled Device) constitute, with the sensors CMOS, one of principal technologies making it possible to transform a luminous image into numerical instructions. They equip with tens of models of cameras or caméscopes, of practically all the marks. According to the magazine, which quotes sites of after-sales service or some Internet sites specialized, "Sony represents with him only a significant part of the world production" of sensors CCC. Since 2002, Sony employed a new adhesive to maintain the ice optical of the CCC on the cases containing the integrated circuits. This adhesive, under the effect of the moisture combined with heat, could in certain cases release from the vapors, in particular from iodine, coming to oxidize connections. "We confirm that the sensors marketed between October 2002 and March 2004 can present this defect, and we informed all the customers of them on our Internet sites since the beginning of October", declared with AFP the director marketing of Sony France, Herve Van Compernolle. It however affirmed that only "a few tens of apparatuses" had been announced like defective since the beginning of October in France. Sony set up, in all the countries of the world, the procedures offering the assumption of responsibility of repairs to the owners of defective apparatuses, either by bringing back those in the retailer, or by directly contacting the customer service of Sony. The numerical apparatuses concerned present a series of malfunctions, like the absence of image, of the images distorted or with very strong color predominance, or deteriorated by horizontal bands. Other cameras, not equipped with the CCC manufactured by Sony, would also present defects, for example for Nikon apparatuses on the system of measurement of the exposure or on the contacts of the memory board, according to the Photographer. |

No news. It doesn't affect CMOS, only CCDs. It was discussed all over the
web since weeks. Statemants are found on every webpage of the comapnies that used these sensors. Olympus exchanges the camera even in advance whereas other companies only exchange or repair them when the defect shows up. Kinda extended warranty ;-) Regards, Andi |

Lovely translation, and just a wee bit slow on the uptake, eh? This "news" was out weeks ago. |
