Thanks for that, I hope you are right, as my A1 also has screen problems. I have e-mailed JP and will let you know if I get a favourable reply.

Thanks Marian, my camera (although a DSLR - 30D), is probably part of that batch... See the the post below.

30 Sensor Replaced by Canon

Thanks for the info.

No it is not, it is quite a different type of sensor and a different manufacturing technology. The above problem affects compact/prosumer cameras using the Sony sensor. Canon have sensors custom made.

It also happened before the 30D was put into manufacture.
