I have a Casio Exilim EX-Z60 (6.0mp) and yesterday, I turned it on, and I received the following message "Lens Error", and other times when I try I get "retry power on" any help would be greatly appreciated.

nope, I turned it on the other day, and it wouldn't focus, so I has messing with the lens, but not enough to make it worse, but then, it said lens error.

alright well I just googled it and it says you have to get your lens replaced:

I've been repairing CASIO Cameras for many years and have literally repaired a thousand cameras as a CASIO Authorized Warranty Service Tech.
The problem you're experiencing is somewhat common. The lens unit can become damaged if it's opened while in your pocket, or in a case etc. This usually happens without the user's knowledge and appears to be a mysterious development. Basically, what happens is the power button gets pressed and the lens attempts to extend, then the lens gets jammed and the servo motors smoke.
Fortunately this problem is correctable by replacing the lens unit. The lens unit is available from CASIO but I don't suggest you replace it yourself unless you are an experienced electronics technician.
If you'd like to have it repaired inexpensively, please visit CasioRepairs.com.
Thanks,

hope that helps

Thank you, but I read that it isn't on the warranty so I have to pay for it with my own money.

ouch, that's not good. Hope it isn't too expensive...

Good luck...

If it is too expensive, it might be worth it just to get a new one. I have had really good luck with Sony cameras.

Yeah, thats what I am prolly going to do, I was going to get a sony camera in the first place, but the casio ex-z60 was really thin, so I thought it would be easier to carry around than a thicker one.
