Sony Cameras

Another Sony glitch: Cyber-shot cameras
Discovery of a technical error in one of company's most popular digital camera lines is latest in series of embarassing errors.

TOKYO (Reuters) -- Sony said on Friday its Cyber-shot compact digital cameras might not work in warm and humid areas and that it would repair any faulty cameras free of charge.
The liquid crystal displays in eight models that went on sale from September 2003 to January 2005 may not show images correctly or the cameras may not be able to take photos at all, Sony said in a statement.

Of the more than 1 million models sold, Sony expects 4,000 may need repairs, the company said. Sony found similar defects in other digital and video cameras in October last year, when it discovered condensation could seep into the gadgets and damage the charge-coupled device, a chip used to capture images.
The problem, which Sony does not expect to affect its earnings, comes after the electronics maker swung to a quarterly loss due to the cost of recalling millions of computer batteries.
Top computer makers including Dell and Toshiba are recalling up to 9.6 million Sony-made lithium-ion batteries, which can, in rare cases, overheat and catch fire.
