Re: Olympus recorders dying - need replacements
Hi Bob, I sent Robert, who I think is the owner or the company, or at least the engineer of the device, an email last night. Response was:

Re: Suggestions, especially for color grading?

Re: Sensor damage?
Well, looks like it was sensor damage rather than a simple clean. Haven't worked out yet whether insurance would cover it; if they do, then I might as well get it fixed.
