I think I broke my camera :(

I don't know what happened to my camera, but all the pictures turn out black, and when I upload them they are black, and the screen on the black only shows black. A few days before that started happening, my son pulled it down off of the desk, but I checked it immediately and the pictures I had on it were fine, and they uploaded fine. After I deleted those pictures and tried to take new pictures all I got was black. Is is probable that the lens or something is busted? Would that mean buying a whole new camera? Thanks in advance for the help.

Have you taken the lens cap off? :D

Seriously thought, maybe something got loose inside the camera so that the sensor is now pointing away from the lens and is capturing the inside of the camera. Sorry I can't be more technical, as I'm just guessing.

Of course the pictures you already took are fine, that's no way to test if a camera still works. You should have taken pictures immediately to see if it still took them, not just stored them. Sounds like it's toast.

Yeah, I know. I realized that last night, after I read over my post.

What kind of camera is it?

It's a Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera 2200
