could be any one of a number of things.

first suggestion is to leave phone power ON, and remove battery for a few seconds, then replace. This may cure any software hiccups (or may not either).

You may be able to get a fixed price quote from a dealer to repair this, but i suspect this ageing phone may be cheaper to replace.

it may not be that severe, have you tried cleaning the lense on th camera, may have a build up of grime

C'mon, Satellitesam, you can't just change posts like this! The discussion loses meaning... Now we don't know exactly what johnr was commenting about...

I think that the problem might be software related as it takes a few seconds before the error message apears.

Is there any way to "re-install" or upgrade the software?
