This is a lot of people, myself included, whose cameras are all doing the same thing wrong, the company is not honoring it's warranties and everybody is resorting to just banging holy hell out of their cameras. Personally, I'm trying the banging of the camera and getting nothing yet. I'm going to try taking out the internal battery as described above, but it shouldn't be coming to all this. These cameras are obviously all having the same issue and I would look to another brand if you're in the market for a camera. Man, whoever is reading this: I wouldn’t buy a Canon.

(I have frequently used that method in the past on other devices, to no avail). I tried banging it but that didn't work, so I closed my eyes, crossed my fingers and dropped it on the floor from about a foot up. Voila! Working. Who knows how long this will last, but at least it's back for now! as many other people have said on here, I thought the “bang your camera response” was a joke.

I have tried banging the shit out of it to no prevail - the thing says lens error restart camera. Canons troubleshooting on the phone is useless, its only 6 weeks old!!!! What a joke! I haven't dropped the camera, and the lens will not come out. Can anyone suggest anything, the thing takes great pictures but right now all I hear is clicking and then "lens error, restart camera" my email is allye@shaw.ca it would be GREATLY appreciated if someone could toss advice my way, coz right now this thing is a 400 dollar paper weight I have a SD890 IS.

I even took it apart because I wanted to fix it so bad. Tried the "banging" method, hit it against my hand 4 or 5 times, and the lens opened up like normal.

I wish banging it around a few times would help it, but it doesn't. Oh well, no more Canons for me! My Canon SD1100 is having the same problem.
