Looks like the infamous ccd sensor died.
Trying to decide whether to get the C-5050 repaired
or buy a new C-7070

Thanks Juan, When I first turned the camera on, I saw pink-purple shades in the lcd, took a few more and they got worse. The first thing I thought of(dreaded) was the ccd sensor. I tried two other CF cards and one xd card, all produced the same results. Why the 7070? I can get a new one for about $45.00 more than a refurbished C-5050, which will only have a 6 month warranty. I would rather stay with the 5050, but it may be a stupid move, since lots of 5050s die after a couple of years. Mine died after two years exactly. (U.S. price on for refurbished c-5050 about $300.00 thanks Bill
