Answer
First of all, never ever store your camer and lens in the camera bag when not using it for a long time, especially if you live in a humid climate.
It is advised to store your lens in places without stagnant air, or inside a dry cabinet with controled humidity level. Keeping it in a bag (or closet) will just invide fungus to grow on your lens.
If you live in a very dry climate then this may not apply, as long as you don't keep it for too long in your bag. As for whether to attached the lens, well, if you do not need to take it out, don't take it out, it will only make dust goes inside.

What is wrong with my camera (Canon SD1000)?

During my recent beach vacation, my camera started to malfunction. Pictures look find in the viewfinder, but the final results are overexposed and contain horizontal lines throughout the image. (I've posted two pictures at cazenoviacreek.blogspot.com)
I did bring the camera down to the beach, and it did get splashed just a bit (lens was retracted) during one unfortunate wave, but it was working for two days after that incident.
I've reset the settings, and have tried many different settings, but to no avail. The video camera function still works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Answer
Yeah, humidity inside the camera has screwed up the electronics. If the beach had salt water, you might even get some corrosion inside the camera eventually.
