My S220 fell off a counter onto the floor when I set it up for a timer shot. The lens would not close. I removed the battery, and that way it wasn't being drained. My neighbor happens to repair Samsung cameras, so I asked him to give me an estimate. He said he would try to repair the original lens first, if not, he'd have to buy a new one. I live in Buenos Aires, so anything electronic costs more. I ended up paying a total of $77 for labor and a new lens -- which is half the cost of the Nikon S220. It's a good camera that I've had since August 2009, and expect to use many more years to come with the new lens. I bought a generic battery in 2015 to replace the original one. The camera was worth repairing. My only option was asking a friend in the states to buy another one for me and bring it along when she visits me.
