Too bad we don't see Canon come across with a statement like this for GL2 users with problems. Sony Product Notice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI.. Posted 10/3/2005 on their Website.. So I don't know if this is new news..
October 3, 2005
Notice to Owners of Sony Professional Camcorder Products:
DSRPD150, DSRPD170, DSRPDX10, and DSR250.
Thank you for your purchase of Sony products.
It has recently come to our attention that a limited number of camcorders manufactured prior to March 2004 that incorporate a certain type of image sensor device (CCD) may exhibit the following problem:
When the camcorder is used for acquisition in the camera mode, the LCD panel and/or electronic viewfinder exhibits either a distorted image or no image at all.
We have determined that this problem only occurs in a limited number of camcorders, but may be accelerated if they are exposed to hot and humid environments.
In an effort to ensure customer satisfaction, Sony will offer a free repair from October 3rd, 2005 to October 2nd, 2007 to the owners of affected camcorders exhibiting the above-mentioned problem.
If you have a camcorder that exhibits the distortion or no image problem or have any questions regarding this problem, please contact the Sony National Support at 866-766-9272, Option 2.
Sincerely,
Sony Electronics Inc.
