Hey! I have this fujifilm s2950 for about 3 weeks and I noticed when I want to take a picture that on the LCD and on the viewfinder appear some red and blue dots. I didn't have this problem till now. I have to say that on the picture the dots don't appear. Only on the lcd, even in daylight. I cleaned the lenses, so there is no problem. I reckon that the problem is the image sensor. I took some pictures pointing the camera directly to the sun. Could this damage the image sensor of the camera?
There is no repairs possible by you, the choices are these, send the camera back to Fuji for exchange (expensive) or replace it.

Does the camera still take good pictures in low light? If so, I suspect the phenomenon is normal.

You should go to the fuji website (http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/) find your camera and email or contact them about the warranty. They will either direct you to contact a local dealer and give you an authorization code or they will ask you to send in the camera direct to them which would probably be the best bet.
A CCD problem would explain the
lines on your pictures and the lines on the LCD (since the CCD is used
to feed the live image). CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is one of the two main types of image sensors used
in digital cameras.
When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light
coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of
tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The
number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated
charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step
occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an
analog-to-digital converter.
Some
symptoms of a defective CCD
include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines,
blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being
recorded on the camera's flash card.
In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details: Bad CCDs. This, isn't a good new, but hope helps to solve it.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.
Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.
