I dropped my older S8200 camera Christmas day and just purchased another one because I loved this camera so much. I used my camera every week for 2 years. Never did I have this problem. I never had any iissues.I would contact Nikon about the problem and see if they will replace your camera, or at least repair it if it's a warranty issue.

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

I dropped my s8200 but it kept taking pictures, until I used the 10xzoom and it won

Mine got bent and now opens partially then I open it with my finger. Took it to canon and they said it's not covered. Couldn't repair it either b/c lens cap is part of the entire lens. Offered me a refurb for 550. I said no thanks. Still using it but it's a pain.

I too noticed the rattling noise that you're describing. I did some research on the Web and found that it was nothing to worry about as the noise disappears when the lens is powered. However, should your lens continue to rattle once mounted and POWERED on, then return it for a replacement. Hope this helps

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I ordered it. I think I read that the silver ring on the front of the lense is how you adjust the focus...give it a try! If it doesn't work, contact the seller or something.

I've had the S95, two,S100s & now I've purchased my second S110. So far I've never had any problem with the dreaded "Lens Error" which seems to plague so many people. My cameras have all died from Unnatural Causes which can be blamed on my own stupidity!

Although I have never had this problem with this lens, I have seen it before with other lenses. My first thought is that the electronic contacts between lens and camera aren't working properly. They may simply be dirty - try wiping them off with a clean rag. The contacts may also be misaligned where the lens meets the camera, maybe because of something getting in the way or a faulty mount on the lens or camera. I think dirt on the contacts is most likely the cause.

I have a friend that is having trouble with the ZS-8,just a little dust or dirt and the lens shutter will not open. He is battling Panasonic right now for a fix.Alfred

There's plastic behind the square plugs. If they force it, It'll break the plastic behind them. The top black "hole" is also the lens of the camera so this may damage the lens

Mine is in perfect condition. I have several lenses from Tamron and they have all been in mint condition. Return it to them and they should replace.

Sadly, if it is doing it often.................then the digital focus mechanism needs to be replaced and it is (at least over here in Korea) more than $120.00. I have had this happen with both my 960Is and my Canon S5IS. I ended up just going ahead and replacing both of them; the 960 IS with the S100 and the S5IS with the S20IS.

I had my ELPH for two weeks and the lens cover stopped opening all the way up. I have to use my finger to push the lens cover all the way open. Sometimes it doesn't close all the either. I'd take a refund or exchange if I knew how to go about it.

you probably have dust in the lens. This is common if you keep a camera in your pocket. you should contact sony and have them service it (it's still under warranty, and dust in the camera shouldn't happen so quickly. FWIW, my T1 took about 4 years of in the pocket before I noticed dust, and now I notice lots of dust.)

I got my d800e and the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was the rattle. I held the strap rings and shook the camera and found out it came from the flash. I posted about it in another forum and was told it was normal and indeed it is because it's from the metal support that holds the flash up. No need to worry. Only thing to worry about is the left AF issue and the 10-pin connector going limp on you :).

I've read the S95 and S100 had significant lens error defects. That was the main reason I waited for this new version to come out which had supposedly fixed those problems.

I noticed this in one of mine as well. HCO Customer Service responded quickly: "The filter in front of the lens is supposed to be floating around when it's not powered."

Mine arrived with a black spot right in the middle of the lens at the higher power. Makes spotting even a large car tricky at distance. LOL I will attempt to return it for a working one. Lot of trouble. You get what you pay for .....and sometimes even less.
