I've had a 4 Megapixel Casio Exilim for about 3 years (although I kind of stole it off G, but that is another story) and a few weeks ago I found it with half the lens out in a partially switched on position. I fiddled with it a little and managed to get it to turn on but now it always has a 'lens error'.
I wonder if this means I should just buy a nice new one? They cost a whole lot less than they used to and electronics are actually cheaper here in the states. I could get a nice shiny new 7.2 Megapixel Casio for about $190. Very tempting...
UPDATE: G managed to fix my camera by reading the instructions and *gasp* following them. I might be able to hold off buying a new camera until the next big sale!

Have you tried the Casio trouble shooting guide? It is available at: http://www.casio.com/support/content/FA124047-86A8-4E35-B382-9063627AF2AB
Good luck - I guess that is your karma for stealing the camera in the first place.
That's a bit unfortunate. Getting the lens re-aligned might prove to be more hassle than its worth (and probably nearly as expensive!!). So it might be necessary to look at the 'new' option as the most practical solution (irrespective of the karma hex). As you have observed, the latest choices on the market have significantly upgraded features for a relatively low cost; though not all are value for money. K
