My Canon PowerShot 850 was dropped recently . . .it worked for a brief time afterward. But now when I try to use it, the lens makes a 'clicking' sound and the screen displays "Lens error--restart camera." Wondering if it is worth sending it in to be fixed--how big a repair am I facing? The camera is still listed at amazon.com at $379, but the newer replacement version is about $100 cheaper.
If it is still under warranty , please repair it.
If it is out of warranty. Try to get a quote, it the quote is more than 50% of original value , forget it.
For digital camera's they die like flies. New ones are better and cheaper anyway.

Even i have the same problem. I bought that camera in US and now i am India. Warranty is also over for that camera. When i contacted service center, folks there told me that the Optical Unit in the camera is spoiled and not correctable and needs to be replaced and which cost $150. Just looking is the problem is very serious and shall i trust the service center folks.
