Aaaargh - Fuji S3 Pro failing ?
took a photo last night then downloaded to computer and noticed a vertical "lazer" line 1/3 way across from the right
 took other photos to confirm it wasn't a one off.. happens at ISO400 + , at exposures 1/4 second + Camera was originally bought in April 2006, replaced in May 2006 under warranty, so its about 1 month out of warranty - but I'm assuming that Fuji will honour - else its the "fit for purpose" route .... what do you reckon please ? http://www.mark-buckley.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/sensor.jpg http://www.mark-buckley.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/s3-1.jpg

There's definitely a vertical line, but it's about 1/6 of the width of the picture from the left edge.
It appears to go from the bottom edge to about three quarters of the way up towards the top edge. Bruce C Last edited by Bruce Carson; 11-06-07 at 16:59.

I can see it, most noticeable against the flat area of the blocked off fireplace in the first picture. Looks like you have a column of dead pixels. Send it of to Fuji and see what they say, you may be lucky and get a post-warranty goodwill repair. You've got nothing to lose except a bit of postage costs.

thanks guys - off to Fuji tomorrow
 even better someone on another forum suggested looking at old photos - I've found one from April when it was in warranty with the line ... its just I have't been doing any indoor/darker/longer exposure shots recently - hence I haven't noticed it. cheers, Mark.

I see it 1/3 from the left. Try shooting RAW then view in conversion software to see if its the sensor output or a image processing anomaly.
I had a S2 pro for two years without hitch.
