Horizontal banding problem with the G6

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I have a Canon G6 which is ~10 months old. Over the long weekend, I started
seeing problems with all the photos I take. Sample pic here:

These lines are also visible on the live preview lcd. I'm fairly certain it
is a problem with the camera itself, and will most likely need to be sent in
for servicing. I'm just wondering if anyone else has every come across this
problem with their camera? How long does Canon (Canada) typically take to
repair and ship out a camera sent in for service?

I have tried 3 different sets of batteries as well as newly formatted CF
cards so I know that those aren't the issue. I've also taken pictures in
every possible shooting mode in both RAW and JPEG, and all the shots exhibit
the same problem.
