I have a D200 with a Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm ED zoom, and I have a similar issue with the inside of the lens shaking when I turn it on, It turned out to be a problem with the vibration reduction motor inside the lens. I first noticed a problem when zooming that it wasn't smooth, as though the inside lens was catching on something. It turned out that a roller inside the zoom somehow caught the wiring strip inside the lens and damaged it, causing the VR motor to short out.
There are forums that tell you how to repair the problem yourself on that lens, providing that you can get the replacement parts. I elected to send mine in for a repair, and hopefully its going to cost less than $AU200.00

If you have some skills, you can open the camera and cline your zoom lens with toothbrush and compressed air. Try to separate zoom lens from the electric motor. usually is 2 or 3 screws. You will see a lot of sand inside the camera and lens. And next time when you will go to the beach, you will take more care about your camera.
Solution 2, and more easy is to buy another zoom lens from ebay.Or another camera same model with broken LCD or other technical problem than zoom lens.

Zooming is done from the lens on a DSLR, assuming you have a zoom lens on the camera. For example, if your camera came with the 18-55mm lens, you should see the numbers 18, 24, 35 and 55 on the lens barrel with a white index line next to one of the numbers. Turn the barrel to move a different number next to the index line. 18mm is wide angle, 55mm is 'zoomed in'.

Check you haven't accidentally got the camera into some fixed-zoom mode ("Super-Macro" is a favourite for this on Olympus cameras).
