Replacement Camera For Canon Powershot A470

[kelfoan]

My Canon powershot has developed a fault. There are horizontal lines on the image, also some images are totally white. Any ideas what the cause is? If I need to replace this camera, does anyone know what the current Canon equivelant camera would be or can any one recommend another model of similar spec. I just want a fairly cheap "point and press" camera. thanks in advance for any replies
