Fiji Finepix F401 - I

Question

Fiji Finepix F401 - I have had great success with the above camera but it has suddenly developed what I think is a sensor problem.The viewfinder displays a badly blurred and distorted picture which is green and purple in colour.The camera will no longer take any still or video pictures.To make matters worse, I recommended this particular camera to my father and his has now developed the same problem.Both cameras are out of guarantee.
