Took own advice --- Called Mr. Canon ...
Took longer to talk through the Menues than it did to Answer after it rang!

NICE Guy ... listened to my Tail of Grief & Woe ...
Said he prolly had the answer ...
Defective CCD - the Image Sensor burried behind the lense.

Sounds Expensive, said I ...
Not So, said he ... it's a Manufacturing Defect --- we'll FixZit and send 'er back
2nd Day FedEx for NUFFIN ... NO CHARGE FIX - provided it IS the CCD that's
at fault ... but he wuz "Purdy Sure" it was a CCD Failure in my case.

WOW!!

Camera is an A70 - a rather early A-Series camera ... prolly 4+ years old ...
LONG PAST the original warranty ... yet Canon will FixZit for FREE!!

And I thnk pay shipping both ways ... not sure 'bout that part, yet.
E-Mail wiffa "details" comes tomorrow ...
Overall Time to Fix & Return - "Bout Two Weeks, TOPS" he sez.

BUTT, da BAD News is we gotz NO PIX from Sunday +

NUTZ!
