Looks Like It's  On Its Way Out: In Oliveira Do Bairro With The Original Failing Sensor Canon Powershot A80

Along with my 'new' failing sensor Canon Powershot A80, I took the original with me on a stroll around Oliveira do Bairro. After an encouraging start, which lasted all of five minutes, the A80 began to misbehave — well misbehave more than usual. Instead of the lovely glitchy goodness that I was used to, all the LCD display showed were random vertical lines, or a blank screen. The camera was still working, it was focusing on a subject, but whenever I took an image it was really corrupted.

Of course,  I grabbed the opportunity to take such amazing looking images, even though they were nowhere near what the subject was supposed to be. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the sensor is deteriorating much faster than I had imagined it would. I’ve posted the whole series in an album on my Joomeo (https://public.joomeo.com/albums/69ba8d2f53dc4) if you want to see the rest of the images. I think I'm going to leave it for a whike, but all being well, my next outing will be a trip to Aveiro for some urban photography.
