    Fortunately this didnt happen to my good camera! Phew!

    A digital camera worth about €170 took a knock and gives a lens error from time to time. The only time you notice the error is when you zoom in, something is out of alignment as you see a black curve at the bottom of the screen.

    Does anyone know if its something that can be cheaply fixed or would it be as cheap to just buy another camera? Its a Nikon.

    Thanks!

    Well, since it's a Nikon, just throw it away. :D

    Hard to know if it's an easy fix or not. Sounds like there is something not correctly in place. No harm asking your local camera shop about it, or bringing it to them to look at. They very well may recommend just replacing the camera.

    Seems that model was only released in August 2008, so it should still be under warranty.

    If that's the case then send it back. If they find it's due to damage then you will get a quote to repair it. With those lower price models they may just replace it.

    When did you get it?
