It senses images but, alas, it didn't sense its untimely demise. Our digital camera's image sensor went kaput yesterday *tears rolling down cheeks* *sniff*. The images appeared like brownish ghostly figures. Our camera is now at the shop waiting to be sent for service. This may take about 2 months I heard *cold sweat*. How to wait that long? Uughoohhh!!
Bye... let me go and cry now... Waaaahaaahaaaa!

Oh, so sorry to hear this, Bart! Cheer up - 2 months will fly by before you know it.
Poor thing..!! i would be devastated..!!
Hey no worries, you can use mine. Make sure the service people quote the price of repair before they go ahead.
Their two months can drag to 4 months and then....they will tell you at the end of the 4th month that they need to change something that will cost a bomb and then... I guess you know the rest. I went through that but lucky I got a 1.3MP 3 years old camera to substitute.
Yup, same problem occured to my Canon A70! Went looking online for some answers. Many have complained of similar CCD problem in their Canon Powershot A series.
Good news is Canon have released a statment on this CCD malfunction and have agreed to repair the cameras for free. Here's the link: http://www.canon-asia.com/index.jsp?fuseaction=image-phenomena_notice
Here's another link pointing out that other brands of digital cameras-Fuji, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Olympus and Sony-have also encountered similar problem: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0510/05100602canon_ccdproblem.asp
If you own any of the listed camera models, please send them back to the manufacturers for free repairs/replacements.
