This has nikon coolpix p60 problems to be THE most common failure mode for a digital camera, a stuck lens, jammed lens, or a malfunctioning lens. Some common error messages that might show up on the LCD's of cameras with this problem include "E18 lens error" coolpix s210 lens error (older Canon Powershot), "ACCESS" error (Sony Cybershot), "Zoom Error" (Fuji Finepix), "Lens Obstructed" (Kodak Easyshare), "lens error, restart camera" or just "lens error" (Nikon Coolpix and some other camera makers lately are using this variation). Some cameras might show nothing at all, but merely make a beeping noise as the lens goes out, then in, then the camera shuts off. Sometimes the lens won't even move. The problem is actually quite common throughout all camera brands. Usually it's sand or

grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended. Believe it or not, one BIG contributor to lens errors is using a camera case. Sand, gunk, case fibers, etc... accumulate at the bottom of the case. These materials love to cling to the camera by electrostatic build-up from the camera rubbing against the side of the case (especially those cases with soft fibrous intreriors). Once these materials work their way into the lens mechanism, that's all she wrote. I have many Canon's, and NEVER use a case for this very reason. Note that this problem applies to ALL cameras with telescopic lens barrel (optical) zoom. With Samsung's release of the Galaxy S4 Zoom, I'm really curious to see if this will also be a issue/problem with this camera phone (and other phones with optical zoom). I predict (on June 16, 2013) that it will, as most people carry their phones in pockets and purses. If it occurs, Fix 5a would likely be the best technique to correct this problem. A camera owner that suffers this problem may have no recourse for having the camera repaired. Many camera makers will not honor repairing this problem under warranty as they claim it is due to impact damage to the came

None of these methods involve opening the camera, although some have potential to cause other damage to the camera if excessively done.

A Day Off & A New Camera, this is part two of that column. After two months of using the Nikon Coolpix P60, I can offer a bit more information about the camera. I'm still glad I chose the P60, but I'm also glad I didn't pay any more than I did for it. It's a nice, point and shoot digital camera, but it certainly isn't professional caliber. Since you may be here looking for reasons to scare you off buying this model, let me begin with the shortcomings of the P60. If you're looking for its strengths, you'll need to go to Page 2. Fragile (4/28/09 update)
After just five months of use, my Coolpix P60 is out of service. The lens cover had begun to stick, so I didn't notice at first when all of my full screen, non-zoom images began being vignetted on the right side. I'd mentioned in Part I of this review that many Amazon reviewers experienced similar issues with the P60 lens and light meter. While Nikon is going to cover the repair under warranty, this is way too early in the camera's lifespan for such an issue to occur. (5/18/09 update) It's been a month since I sent Nikon my Coolpix P60 for service. In that time I've learned that the camera will require a complete lens assembly replacement...and that Nikon "service" isn't very prompt. After two weeks of seeing a "Parts Hold" on the Nikon status page for my camera repair, I began calling Nikon USA service. I first talked to Oliver in the Dominican Republic. He was polite, knowledgeable, and well spoken, and promised to get a time estimate for the repair out to me in a few days. When a week had passed with no word from Oliver, I called again and spoke to Peter, who called Oliver, who again promised an email, this time before the end of the business day. Peter also advised me that he thought the part had come in, so my wait should be about over. Now, five days after Peter assured me the part was in and that Oliver would email me a time frame that day for the repair and return of my camera, I'm still waiting. The Nikon service status page still reads "Parts Hold." While this is a review of the Nikon Coolpix P60, the ramifications of this poor service from Nikon repair extends to the whole product lineup of Nikon. If you have a repair issue with your Nikon product, you may have to wait an unacceptable length of time to get your camera back. Calling Nikon service may prove as useless to you as it has to me, as the people there do not follow through on what they've said they will do. At some point, I plan to move to a digital SLR. When I begin shopping for that dream camera, the early failure of the
