Hi folks. My elderly parish priest (again) gave me his camera to have a look
at it this morning. A NikonCoolpix 5700. He told me that it wasn't focusing
but the problem is much more serious I think. I got it sorted out focus wise
but the pictures all have numerous lines across them. Here's a couple of
examples. Has anybody any suggestions or does he need to invest in a new
camera.

Personally, I think he has dropped the camera but is hoping that I can fix
it somehow. |

Oops - here is the correct link:
LINK
Under the picture of the 5700, there is a link that says "Learn More".
There is a manufacturing defect with the sensor for certain models,
including the 5700. I've had a 5400 repaired this way and the results were
very satisfactory.
