Dimage 7Hi - Broken?

[DavidS]

Hello, I come here to figure out what is going on with my camera. This last weekend I went camping and took my camera out and starting shooting. I went to review my photos and they all were washed out and grayscale or something. Plus they have scanlines all across. I thought maybe I had manual exposure on or some settings by accident, but that wasn't the problem at all. I restored the camera's default settings, and still I get terrible photos now.

I am really dissapointed, because I am pretty sure it is broken. I am not sure how or why, but I would like to know from some experienced photographers here if you have ever seen this problem, and what causes it?

Even if I take snapshots with the lense cap still on, it is just a white washed out image. (last pic attached)
