I found out about that issue the hard way last week. Pictures started coming out too dark, and searching online quickly revealed that it's a well-known issue and that a class action lawsuit was filed back in May. Repairing it was pretty straightforward, but sourcing a replacement part from before production moved from Japan to China was unpleasantly expensive.
