Sony recalls digital cameras

Sony has recalled digital cameras because of sensor glitch, this is another event showing inefficiency on Sony's part after the dell battery recall. I think Sony's brand image is not only detiorating and also falling below a minimum standard. If this continues then it wont be long when companies like LG and Samsung overtake Sony and its brand.

Sony Corp will recall eight models of its Cyber-shot digital cameras because of a defect, the company said. Sony said users might have problems viewing images when trying to take photographs due to a glitch with the image sensor. It declined to say how many digital cameras would be affected by the recall.

The affected cameras -- DSC-F88, DSC-M1, DSC-T1, DSC-T11, DSC-T3, DSC-T33, DSC-U40 and DSC-U50 models -- were sold at home and overseas between September 2003 and January 2005, Sony said.

'In high-temperature and humid circumstances, the digital cameras may fail to show an image through the viewer,' a company spokeswoman said. She said the company would exchange defective parts free of charge.
