POLAROID’S x530, the world’s first compact digital camera to feature Foveon’s X3 imaging sensor, has been recalled owing to a ‘technical issue’, according to a report that has appeared on the internet.<\/p>\n
In a statement, World Wide Licenses (WWL), which sells Polaroid-branded products, confirmed that the camera was sent to some Argos stores ‘by mistake’ before it had been approved for shipment.<\/p>\n
It is understood that only small numbers had already been dispatched to shops\u00a0and actually sold.<\/p>\n
WWL declined to comment on a report that appeared on a photography website in which Michael Thomas, sales and marketing manager for WWL Europe, is quoted as saying that the recall was due to a ‘technical issue’ with some\u00a0of the cameras.<\/p>\n
Announced early last year, the x530 is now scheduled to be released in August.<\/p>\n
The Foveon X3 sensor records colour information in three layers of pixels, capturing light in a similar way to film. The first Foveon sensor was installed in Sigma’s SD9 digital SLR.<\/p>\n
