Canon A650 Recall

Canon recently discovered a problem with early production models of the PowerShot A650 IS digital
camera in which a light leak on images taken with the camera could occur at an unacceptable level when shooting with the Vari-Angle LCD monitor open under sunny skies, where light shines on the back of the camera.

Canon has identified the countermeasures necessary to resolve the problem, and has made the required corrections. They expect to begin shipments of the corrected PowerShot A650 IS digital camera at the end of October.

In the meantime, Canon has established return and replacement policies for those PowerShot A650 IS digital cameras that have already been purchased, as follows:
