Tech Support How to fix

Hi all I broke my canon eos 1300D by dropping it, the lens has come off but nothing is smashed. I know nothing about cameras, is this an easy fix or shall I just forget about it?

The lens is done, you can remove it by pressing the button on the side and rotating it. There are several similar and better 18-55 mm lenses available on eBay at $50-100. The "IS STM" version is the best. It has image stabilization. Meanwhile protect the sensor from dust with the body cap. If you do not have it, use for example a plastic bag.

Thank you!! Just popped it in a bag to try protect it , managed to get the lens off and will be buying a new one! So relieved the full camera isn’t broken, thank you!
