Sounds like a failing CCD chip. A few years back, several camera makers fell victim to faulty CCD chips provided by Sony, the chip manufacturer. It's likely that the S3000 was one of them. And based on the problems you discribe, I don't think it's anything else. If that is the case, there's a chance that Fuji will repair it for free in spite of your warranty status. But you need to confirm that with Fuji. If they don't repair it on their dime, it won't be worth repairing. With the average cost of a camera repair at around $180, it may cost more to repair than it is really worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.
