Camera Problem - damaged pictures

[#1]

Hello everybody,

First time using this forum, so please accept my apologies if I posted in the wrong place.

Here's my problem.  I bought a Xperia Arc last year and I was very happy with it.  I updated to the latest version of Android (2.3.4) two weeks ago.  Since then, whenever I take a picture and go see it in the Gallery, the picture is ruined.  A part of it (maybe 10 to 20%) is very clear while the rest is whether all gray or fuzzy.  If I reboot the phone and take pictures, the first few ones are perfectly ok.  After a while, the problem starts again. 

I searched this forum for solutions and found nothing

I have a workaround, but you will agree with me that it's pretty annoying to reboot the phone whenever you want to take a picture.

Did anybody experience the same problem?  Anybody found a solution?

Thanks in advance

I went to buy a card reader today and formatted my sd card.  Guess what... After 3 pictures, I got the same problem :s  I will go exchange my phone  after all..

Thanks a lot for your help!  I guess I got a bad phone and that's it.
