when i purchased the camera i had the same problem initially, which was due to me using poor alkaline battery's, which did not contain enough power for the camera. When i turned it on, the lens would come out but then the camera would power off again. Since then i have used energizer lithium batters which have more than enough power for the camera, and aren't exactly cheap at seven pounds for four aa's.
the other day my camera would not turn on, and therefore i assumed it was due to the battery's having run out, so i purchased some more, put them into the camera, and it has not resolved the problem. When i press the power button absolutely nothing at all happens.
if anyone has had a similar problem or knows how i could fix this i would be extremely grateful, as it doesn't seem to be the battery's causing the problem like it usually is.
