Canon will fix it for free.

Me too as we have one of the affected camcorders with that problem.
Thanks!

Canon isn't the only camera with potentially defective CCD's. See:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1164379168.html
CCD imagers in cameras made between 2002 thru 2004 by Sony, Canon,
Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Ricoh, and Olympus are affected.
