Here's a link to an article re: the just announced "service advisories" from Canon, Sony, Konica and Fuji.

The signs of the defect happening are blurry images and unnatural colors on the LCD display. The failures are the result of Sony using epoxy (instead of ceramic) to package the CCD's.
Apparently this effects the Sony PD150 through the 170 and a few Canon consumer video cameras ... Sony is supposedly fixing all the cameras.
Thankfully, I own a DVX, an older canon ZR40 for a deck and my only digi still camera is a 1st generation Canon elph. Luckily for all you FX and Z1 users, you're safe too.
