That Photo Is Way Too Hot For You
from the temperature-blocking dept
Apparently, most of the major digital camera makers are all issuing warnings that their cameras have faulty CCDs leading to either blurred pictures or a failure to store the image completely. They claim it only impacts a small number of cameras, but that heat and humidity can make it worse. Unlike some other companies in the tech/consumer electronics industry, it looks like the camera makers are proactively responding to this by getting the information out and promising free repairs for those impacted by it. Is it a sign of the times when we're surprised that gadget makers are willing to quickly own up and fix problems?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Interesting change of direction....
I am happy to see companies taking responsibility for their badly designed/manufactured products. I may consider buying Sony again (I had sworn off of the brand altogether after the disappointment with my camcorder!)
