Public Service Announcement...

If your camera is experiencing CCD problems, like having lines on pictures (like those I took), and also blurry, shifty images... Like this one: (I took this with my camera...)


"Initial service advisories by Sony, Canon, Fujifilm and Konica Minolta were soon followed by announcements by Nikon, Ricoh, and Olympus."

For more information on this, and the complete list of affected cameras, check out the following link:

And, fortunately (or unfortunately?), my camera is among those having this problem. But, well enough, Canon, being the good company, is:

"Canon's Response:
Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of charge, the products listed above exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if Canon determines that the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair."

So, most probably, my buying of a new camera will need to be postponed...
