I have the same problem with my Nikon D70s. All seems fine until I take the shot then err flashes on the LCD and the camera won't work. The shutter sticks. Camera is less than 2 years old and has never been knoocked or dropped. Thought it was the internal clock because clock was flashing but have reset the camera and the date and that seems fine now.I have the same problem with my Nikon D70s.

Well, I sent it to Nikon for repair. The first time they lost it and sent it back about a month later with nothing done. The second time, they sent it back and said they could not fix it as it was a "gray market" camera. I noted to Nikon that I bought it new from a Nikon dealer and that I had registered it with Nikon 2 years ago, but apparently Nikon's inability to police its own distributors, is my problem as they declined to even look at it. I have owned Nikons since 1965, this will be my last after that episode.
Anyway, took it to the local Nikon repair and they replaced the shutter and a couple of other parts and all is well.
Beware, Nikon can't keep their own distributors in line so they take it out on the customer. The serial number on mine indicates it went to Europe first and then was sold by an Autorized Nikon Dealer in New York to me. Well, I sent it to Nikon for repair.

Sounds like the shutter is sticking. This could be due to damage or just need cleaning. This probably means that you need to get the camera professionally serviced/fixed as shutters are extremely delicate.
I had the same problem with my camera. I was taking pics and apparently the battery died mid-picture. I was getting the Err and Clock. I looked inside and saw the mirror was stuck up. I simply pressed the shutter to take a picture and it reset and the error went away.
The "ERR" code usually refers to an aperture problem. For example, if a lens with an aperture ring (Sigma is a favourite) used for earlier cameras is used, the aperture has to be set to its smallest (usually f/22 or "A" for automatic).
As you are using an 18-200, I assume it's the Nikkor VR. Callinto a camera store and ask them to check with a different lens. It may be the VR lens is faulty.

Usually when my shutter won't operate, I get an ERR message. I have been able to fix it by turning the camera off and back on. If that doesn't work, I have occasionally had to remove and reinstall the battery.
The D-90 users manual says that the ERR message indicates a camera malfunction and can be cleared by releasing the shutter. But, I found the shutter won't release unless you turn the camera off.
The manual also says if this condition occurs frequently or persists, you should contact an Nikon authorized repair center. I suggest before you do that, that you contact Nikon tech support at www.nikon.com to see what they might suggest.
I had the same problem with my D70.
Ended up having the shutter repaired at the tune of $135.
Works fine now.

Hope this helps
Hello, I got this info from Nikon for D70... When you see Err on the control panel, LCD monitor or viewfinder of
your digital camera it refers to a camera malfunction. Try the
following:
Remove all accessories from the camera.
Install a freshly charged battery into the camera.
If
your Nikon camera offers resets such as the two-button reset or a
hardware reset please follow those instructions provided in the product
manual.
If these steps do not resolve the Err
message we recommend having a Nikon Authorized Repair Technician
evaluate the Nikon camera. Hope this be useful for you to resolve problem.
