Sheri, if you haven't already junked the camera, you might give it to someone (like me) to take a look. We've had 2 Canon cameras with crapped out lens. The first, we drove to Merida to get fixed - time/hotel/gas/repair was about $200 US (more than a new camera would cost). Our latest camera had the same problem. I opened the case, cleaned some sand off the lens, and it's been back in business for 2 months already. Here in Playa, the elements are extremely damaging to sensitive camera lenses.

Besides, if you were just going to junk the camera anyway, it doesn't hurt to have someone open it and see if it can be repaired without costing an arm and a leg.
