'The liquid crystal display screens of eight camera models might not display images correctly, images could be distorted or cameras might not take photos at all.' The affected models were sold between September 2003 and January 2005 globally.

    You guys don't get it. This is clear evidence that SONY IS THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY.

    Have you never watched Star Trek? Who do you think manufactured all those exploding computer displays?

    They probably accidently hired a monkey, and due to the beaurocracy within the company they haven't been able to fire it. It just keeps getting transferred.

    The same thing happened with Ford, except in their case they accidently hired seven polar bears. They were responsible for the Pinto fiasco.
