A persistent rumor from 1998 about Sony releasing a camcorder capable of ‘seeing through clothes,’ which was allegedly recalled, has resurfaced in September 2025. This story is an interesting case study in technological myths and viral misinformation. The truth is that no such camcorder existed or was recalled. While there’s no direct investment implication, it highlights how misinformation can spread and persist. For technology historians or consumer electronics companies, it’s a reminder of public perception and the spread of unfounded claims. This falls under technology and consumer electronics history.
