My SIL found a chip on her camera lens, it's a fuji digital camera. Is there a way to repair this? She said her photos are all fuzzy from it. Will it cost an arm and a leg?

On an inexpensive camera such as this it's not worth having it fixed.
Most camera repair shops will charge you a minimum fee for estimating the repair (typicall $75-100), and it just goes up from there.
Your best bet is to replace it with a new one and throw the other one out.
Lens repair is a delicate and expensive transaction and there are some lenses that it makes sense to do on, but you're looking at bills in the thousands.
Chalk this up to an "oops" and go shopping for a new camera.

That's not something that can be repaired. She'll have to replace the lens. Price will depend on the size of the lens, and how difficult it is to remove and replace. How expensive was the camera? A top of the line model might be worth repairing, but a little cheapie webcam is trash.
