When I turn my canon A70 camera on it will not open up and an error message appears E18. Is there any way of fixing this?

The lens barrel has been knocked out of whack or one of the gears in it has slipped. I've seen reports that people have tapped against the side of the lens barrel and gotten it back working again. If that doesn't do the job, I'd suggest a new camera rather than a repair that'll be close to the cost of a newer, more capable model.

Hope this link helps... evidently, this is a very very common problem. They even their own website... but it does give some ways you might can fix it...
