-   I have a cannon a-590A that I dropped the other day. The lens jammed, with the fore-lens bent down at a sever angle. I bent it back only to see that the lip of the lens chassis, so to speak, was damaged. The lens, however, will still not RETRACT back into the camera body. The message on the screen keeps reading: LENS ERROR, PLEASE RESTART CAMERA, which I do but the camera never starts but just shuts down after flashing the message. Camera repair shop refuses to fix it, citing that a new lens, parts and labor will just add up to what I paid for the camera initially. But I don't make a lot of money, this camera was a much wanted present to myself. I want to fix it if I can. Or at least just get it to stay on long enough to download my photos of London.-   caturwaul
