Digital Camera CCD failure info/fix @ Anandtech

Ripped this thread from anandtech, follow the link for models covered for CCD failure:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messagev...&enterthread=y

More may be added to this list as the manufacturers own-up to their failures.

Please have a look at this article in the Imaging-Resource News article by Michael R. Tompkins who reports that "Visitors to this site will doubtless have noticed a common thread across several of our recent news items: We've reported on digital camera service advisories from no less than four manufacturers, with all four offering to fix certain problems experienced by their customers regardless of warranty status."

Great news for anyone affected.

Also, please note the last parragraph of the article that states...
(camcorders, PDAs, and other such products being outside the remit of our site, we're not including these in our list).

Fixed my Sony p72

My camera started failing and hunting on the internet showed there might be a fix. Went to Sony website and was able to chat with a tech. Gave me a phone number to call the next day. Spoke with someone who emailed me a label for ups. Sent in the camera, came back about 10 days later and was fixed. It cost me nothing.

My Olympus C-5050 Just died on me last week. It's good to see that it's covered here.
