Sony recalls 416,000 cameras

While there are no problems with the cameras catching fire, or exploding, Sony is a little worried that the case may warp, making them razor sharp on their bottoms.

There is nothing worse than a razor sharp bottom as about 30 customers in Japan and "several" others overseas have since complained that their camera gave them small cuts and scratches.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the problem only affects the Cyber Shot DSC-T5 most of which were sold in the US, Europe and China although about 66,000 were flogged in Japan.

A spokesSony said the outfit first learned of the problem affecting DSC-T5 cameras about one month after the model first went on the market in September 2005, the spokesSony said.
