jeannette08, as for the cost, this would depend on where you are going to take it. ifixit does nto do repairs:-) but you can try and fix it yourself. It is possible that you get the lens error because your lens is of the track or otherwise stuck. Take a look at [http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html|this site.] It does give a f solution that yo could try first. [http://photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/|Here is]a great forum with some good answers, and take a look [http://amanmusthaveaproject.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/nikon-coolpix-s210-lens-error/|at this] for the same error on a slightly different camera. Hope this helps, good luck.
