Mine is a 8.1 Megapixel sony digital camera. The photographs were fine before. But the photographs are hazy now. What might be the reason.

sony is better.

Hi,
Please go to Settings option in Menu and select Initialize and press OK.
This will reset your Sony DSC-W100 camera to default settings.
Thanks.

The vertical line can be caused by a very bright object in the image like a lamp or a silver surface reflecting the flash.
The spots are caused by the flash being SO close to the lens. Any object that can reflect the flash reflects it right back at the camera. This is an image problem with most point and shoot digitals. Watch for reflective surfaces and stand at an angle to them. Turn on more lights in the room before using flash. Stand at a slight angle to the image or person you are photographing - don't shoot straight on. (I kneel down and shoot up - makes a good shot too.)
If you are shooting toward the sun, shield the lens from direct sunlight with your hand (Keep your hand out of the picture!)

may be lcd flex cable or lcd it self is faulty u can get a replacement on EBAY just search there around 30 $ or so u can fit it urself with little expertise

batteries may be low. Dont force it unless its your only option. You could strip a gear.

Digital Camera and Video Phone Number 1 800 222 7669 - it's automated, just say your model number, then "no" to accessories, then "no" to connection problems, then "picture" for ccd issues. Its that easy!

u guys are lame, chose the correct setting for the type of picture and they turn out just fine..no noise

Mine is a bit different- Mine turns on to the opening "Cybershot" screen, opens and shuts about 6 times, and then says "Please shut off and then on again" or something. AAH!! Im a photographer! HELP!

Try playing back pictures you know were captured properly ( either with another properly working camera or with your camera before the problem with quality has appeared ). If the image is ok in playback but 'noisy' in capture mode then the CCD sensor is faulty /on its way out. Ask Canon if they repair CCD faults on this model free of charge.
