I have the same problem with my Sanyo VPC-S650. I bought it at Walmart and now, 9 months later, I discover that Sanyo only waranties their Walmart sold digital cameras for 90 days. The Walmart camera girl told me that ALL of the other digital cameras that they sell are warantied for 1 year. Too bad you can't find out what the warantees are BEFORE you buy. Very disappointed. BTW, I did not drop or otherwise misuse the camera. apparently this is a common problem with Sanyo. I have the same problem with my Sanyo VPC-S650.

Re: Error 2111 on camera VPC-S750
when i try to zoom in...
This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

The shock gave it a mechanical problem. It is probably hitting an error sensor when trying to open/close the zoom lens and turning itself off to protect itself from further damage. It will need to be repaired.
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hey jennbrady24, What is most likely causing the lens error is that something is obstructing the movement of the lens (i.e. sand). I would first try removing the batteries and the memory card and waiting at least 2 minutes and then reinserting them. If this doesn't work I would then try blowing compressed air into the lens to try and dislodge whatever is causing the lens to stop moving. If this doesn't work I would try placing the camera on a flat surface with the lens pointed upwards, then press and hold the shutter button while you turn the camera on. If none of these options work I would have it looked at by an authorized service technician. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Allan Go Ahead. Use Us.
you have jammed the 3 lens studs outside of the track , you cannot fix it without dissembling the entire camera to the lens, its best to leave it alone and sell it on ebay for the lcd is worth 35 to 60
On my Casio Ddigital Camera the lens comes out when I press the open button but then it shows LENS ERROR and shuts down again. Please advise what the problem could be. Thank you.
dudeee. totally have the same problem cept mine stays fully zoomed then when i try to zoom more it says lens error 41 and turns off and the lens doesnt go in
