Canon isn't the only camera with potentially defective CCD's. See:

CCD imagers in cameras made between 2002 thru 2004 by Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Ricoh, and Olympus are affected.

Woof! That's a big tear-down.. I think I'll just baby the camera and hope it never happens.

I called Canon... they're emailing me a label to send the camera back to them.

Again, Thanks!

2-3 hours is typical depending on how you do it. You can spend 2.5 hours carefully disassembling it, making photos as you go along. It then takes only an additional 0.5 hrs to reassemble it. Or, you can rapidly tear it apart in 0.5 hours, and then waste 2.5 hrs trying to remember where things went. Either way, it's 3 hours.

Very good.

Dallas. Read this:

Your A75 is listed on this notice about the defective CCD imagers.

I found a nice A70 in a thrift shop with no picture. I stumbled upon this webpage looking for service on it.

I sent Canon and email admitting I was not the original owner. They emailed me back, immediately, with a USP shipping label to print out and put on the box, paying the shipping out. They emailed me twice more saying they had inspected the camera and yes it was the CCD and they would fix it for free. They fixed it and emailed me when it shipped a week later....repaired, cleaned internally, aligned, lenses recoated very nicely and all....at no charge.

Guess who I recommend for cameras, printers, and anything else Canon makes.....(c;

First class service from a First Class company. Someone must be there to sign for the camera's return on FEDEX Two Day Express!...all free.

Same story for our Canon camcorder. It was back in 7 days with no charges at all. We currently have 2 Canon digitals and 2 Canon 35mm cameras besides the camcorder. I've been happy with all of them and will happily buy another Canon when the time comes.
