Konica Minolta, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, also issue CCD alerts
Well, first Sony comes clean with their CCD defects, now Konica Minolta, Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm have followed suit. And, like Sony, their defects also affect products manufactured about two years ago which are just now surfacing, resulting in blurred and unnatural colors across both live and recorded images. Those pictures above are actual examples of CCDs, yo. Hmmm, a connection? You betcha! Slashdot is reporting that the major makers are affected in each case due to a similar flaw in the "epoxy packaging" CCD sensors are delivered in, which eventually lets moisture into the packaging. Can't you just hear the paper-a-shufflin' in California as the lawyers prepare for the class-action lawsuits aplenty?
P.S. -Be sure to peep Imaging-Resource's page for their list of affected devices.
