I'm waiting for my Nikon D300 to get fixed.
Looks as if the Lens Optical stability feature has melted a couple of contacts so it won't work with any Non-Nikon lens. Which means that could put in outside the warranty as well.
Also gonna be serious ouch time on the wallet as the lens needs to be repaired as well, first estimate on the lens £106.



Ah Fudge!!!

Worked perfectly up until Gamesday...............Wouldn't care but Wife's last words to me that morning were:-
"Make sure that camera doesn't get broken!"

Well got some reasonable news at the weekend. Camera fault is outside warranty, but only £125 to repair. Was expecting around £400.

That's not too bad at all.

Be interested to know what caused the problem.
