'Lens Error' I recently dropped my Nikon Coolpix S50 camera on the floor, and when I turn it on, a message that said 'Lens Error'. Help?!?

I was taking pictures. Then I turned the camera off. Three minutes later, I turned it back on, and now there is a "lens error" and it won't let me do anything.

I have the same problem. I love other people's children who find it necessary to handle my electronic devices... Then put them on the edge of the counter so they can fall off. I turn on my camera and only get "Lens Error!" Nothing else happens. It fell from the counter onto a rug in my kitchen. No one even heard it drop. If that's all it takes to ruin this camera, there is something really wrong.

Any ideas on fixing this, I would appreciate it. Luckily I bought it Costco and they have a good return policy. If I can't fix it, that will be my next option.

Thanks for any help!!
