Last October, I noticed that my Canon A70 digital camera exhibits distorted images while in shooting mode. After some research, I found out that it was known problem with the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used by Canon. I then contacted the local distributor wherein they suggested bringing my camera for repairs for FREE. Normally, it will cost me around P5000 to have it repaired, good thing I was able to read Canon’s response about the malfunctioned CCD.

However, I still need to wait because of the large number of consumers affected with the same CCD problem.
