Digital Camera problems continue to plague owners
Moldova.org
Two major digital camera problems, a lens issue with Canon cameras and an image sensor defect found in many different companies’ models, continue to plague owners but have drawn entirely different company responses.
The long-standing “E18″ controversy, named after an error that displays when the lens can no longer extend or retrace, is in the forefront again. Users with Canon point-and-shoots, including the A and SD product lines have long complained of the problem.
Canon has not reported any defect with the cameras and typically doesn’t pay to repair affected cameras that are out of warranty.
In stark contrast, a host of companies acknowledge a defective image sensor in various camera models and offer free out-of-warranty repairs. Canon, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Ricoh, and Sony all have issued service advisories about faulty CCDs in older cameras, camcorders, and camera-enabled PDAs that result in drastically smeared or blurred pictures.
