Hi Moderators - I scanned the message history to see if this had been asked recently. I wrote to this list last summer when I was having trouble with my D70s...
My experience is that I usually have the device back in my hands before the status updates on the web site. They do the service fast, but the web updates lag....
I cannot talk about flash units, but I can give my Nikon repair experience from the camera side. I had three D-70s go off for cleaning after they came back...
Thanks MD - I mentioned to someone today that part of my post was about me hoping to hear some positive energy. I was told today by service that my camera is...
... My experience with Nikon repair has been positive, if somewhat frustrating. I had focusing issues with a D70. Shortly after its return from Melville, I...
... I ripped the top off of my D70. yes the part that the flash hooks into on the top of the body. I expected to hear back that the camera was unrepairable or...
All, My brother-in-law insists that if you expect that anything you buy or send for repair will require at least two trips to get it right, you will save a lot...
I'm just starting some research on this lens but I wanted to shoot out a message to get some opinions if anyone has used one. I'm interested in using this on a...
Hello Alan, I use a Tokina 12-24 F4 and it has virtually no distortion. Yes OK you purists there is distortion but not nearly enough to produce recognisable...
I have the Tokina 12-24 f4 and find it to be a great lens. I have a nephew in the camera gear reselling business so we did some informal "tests" of samples of...
If you wanted a faster lens, you could give the TOkina 11-16/2.8 a go... it's pretty much everything the 12-24/f4 tokina is but a little bit wider. There is...
I want to thank everyone for their support and kind words regarding Nikon Support - I wanted to share an update. I called early last week (admittedly a bit...
I'm thinking about buying one from from Best Buy (the price is now $649) My D70 is "acting up". I'm now getting CHR error messages while I'm shooting. If I...
Hello John, As a happy D200 user I do not want to discourage you from enjoying this great camera. You do not mention however if you have only one card and ...
Thanks Sandy, I had a "CHR" problem about two omonths ago. I replaced the card with a new one(Lexar) which worked fine for about a month. With the problem I...
... John, I own a D200 and a D300. While the D200 is a wonderful camera, I wouldn't let the PhotoShop issue stop you from looking more closely at the D90....
I'll second Mel's endorsement of the D90 as a suitable replacement for a D70. Consider too...Picasa is a freeware download from Google, works on Macs, PCs and...
The D90 is likely what I'll get when I upgrade due to available funds. I do use Picasa, but have since picked up a copy of Capture NX/NX2 at a great price...
Greetings: Mel has given you great advice & suggestions, the D90 needs far less post processing than did the D70. The Nikon software that comes with the D 90...
Everyone is giving you sound advice here. Do not let software be a block to getting the latest hardware. I use Nikon NX2 software (which will handle D90 of...
Nick said " I'm finding shooting JPG with the D90 is giving me what I need 95% of the time. The D70 I shoot 95% Raw. This makes Adobe Elements more & more...
Hi, I have a D70 for which the flash is inoperable. It pops up but won't fire. This happen to anyone else? I'm sure it can be fixed, but wonder if it's worth...
Sounds like a blown flash tube. If so, it is not worth the probable cost of repair in my opinion. Does the hotshoe work? If you must use flash, an SB400 would...
... I've experienced it once or twice, but it turned out to be operator (me) error during the first month or so back in, what, 2004. ... Does the shutter...
yep - after you hear the pop use your finger nail to "coax" it up. In my case it had been dropped 1 too many times on the flash. I just got it repaired - the...
Have you checked all of the settings to make sure you haven't inadvertently disabled the flash? You are the only one that can decide whether or not it is worth...
Hi All - I need to set up a portable studio type thing to take pictures of the kids at my daughter's school - then make prints instantly. I have a copy of...
