Answer
Every single day on YA, several people ask for advice about their broken camera.
Little P&S cameras seem to be fragile, they don't like to be dropped, sat on, or squashed in a bag, least of all while they are turned on and the lens is extended.
If you (or your sibling/cousin/dog) have bent your lens, your camera is broken.
If it suddenly won't take photos, or does other extremely weird things, it is probably broken.
So now that your camera no longer works, there are a few things you can try (regardless of what the actual symptoms are):
1) READ YOUR MANUAL !!!!!! There is a reason why we get those, they are full of good ideas. They also have a trouble shooting section which may help you figure out what is going on.
2) Pull out the battery for 30 seconds - sometimes that resets the camera. Read the user guide if there is a way to "factory reset" the camera.
3) Check the manufacturer's website. You might find good advice, or user forums, or links to their support section, or a person to "live chat" with or all of the above.
4) Take the camera to a local repair shop. If it is just a little P&S, you'll most likely find it will be cheaper to replace it, than it is to repair it. But it is worth a try, right?
5) If you have exhausted all other options and you have decided the camera is now a paperweight, start trying to fix it yourself. I have heard people say they managed to bend the lens back into position and the camera worked again.
Good luck, and make sure to be nice and gentle with your next camera (but stay away from Kodaks...... they seem to break just by looking at them).

Canon camera recommendations?
I really want to upgrade from my P&S camera and want to get a Canon because I've heard they are very good. Although I don't have much experience with Canon at all so don't know that much.
Can someone recommend a good Canon Camera?
I really like taking pictures of animals far away (such as at the zoo), macro shots, landscapes ect. A camera with good lenses. =]
People have recommended these:
Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL
Canon Rebel EOS XTi or XSi
Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Out of all of these which one has the best quality?
If you answer please tell me why the camera you chose is good. =)
Answer
You can get the exact specifications on the Canon websites, I don't know which country you're in so I just used the USA site...
XTi - http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=14256
XSi - http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=16303
1D Mark III - http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=14999
I have an XTi (called a 400D here in Australia) and it does everything I need it to do, and there's much more I have to learn with it. I think the most noticeable difference between it and the XSi is that the sensor is 10.1mp as opposed to 12.2mp on the XSi. I got mine in a kit that included an 18-55mm and a 70-300mm lens, then I also brought a 28-80mm. The three lenses do everything I require of them, from portraits to landscapes (I would only buy another lense if I wanted to go into macro photography)
I love the range of accessories with Canon, there is a choice of three main flashes (I went for the middle range 430EX which works great) and an endless list of lenses which you can see here: http://www.canon.com.au/ftp/eos_ef_lens_guide%20web.pdf
As for the 1D...Personally I would like one, but I dont have the spare AU$6500.00 to pick one up!
