Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Fire-i camera CCD defect
Hi ya;
Sony finally admitted that it had some really serious Q&A problems with their CCD's between 2002 and 2005. Symptoms include CCD's not transmitting video (ie it died), color problems and distortion etc. Many cameras are affected by this. I know that The Imaging Source, Meade and other manufacturers that use Sony CCD's have been affected by this.
Here is some info on it.

I was on my way to ordering a Fire-i board camera from the
1394store.com and noticed they are having problems with the ccd and
won't be sold till next month. Anyone know anything about this?
