Sony DSC-P52 Cyber-shot digital camera

I have owned this camera for a little over a year and the lens broke while taking a picture. I don't use the camera very often and has never been dropped or handled in a rough manner. I took it back to Staples and they said since I didn't purchase the extended warranty they couldn't help me.

The Sony service center wants $171 just to look at the camera. I paid $279 for the camera and feel like I've been ripped off. I plan to pursue the matter further after the holidays.
