HP 945 Horizontal lines problem

[Synthercat]

I got my 945 3 days ago.

Quality? Stunning!

But on 3nd day I got the famous Horizontal lines bug (as seen in your review) I got the 1.61 verion of the camera (found that out of the metadata, of the pics I took) and I realized after some tests that the lines problem occurs when I take a photo and the sunshine reaches the camera's lense. Can anyone with a 945 try this and report his result here?

Please I need help. I'll have my cam replaced but I need to gather some info to find out why this problem happens.

Thank you.

BTW. That's my 1st post :)
Hope to see replys soon!

Yep, same thing happened to me. I tried 3 different cameras before I gave up.
On the third one, the lens wouldn't retract. I returned it in the off position with the lens stuck out.
It took the most beautiful pictures except for those blasted lines in the outdoor pics.
I have never been able to get another camera that takes the same gorgeous pictures as this one.
I almost feel like getting another one and accepting the crappy lines, just to get nice indoor pictures.
What a sacrifce though.
