D2X Magenta Images-Sensor Failure?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #157 of 200 |
My D2x has started to produce images that are different shades of magenta. When
analyzing
the files on a histogram in Photoshop, the green channel is always at a value of
zero. Has
anybody had this problem and can a DSLR have a failure in one channel? Have
tried all the
obvious variations without success such as different memory cards, formatted and
non
formatted cards, colour space settings, auto white balance, all the other white
balance
options, manual colour temperature settings, resetting the camera etc etc etc.
The camera is
approx 3&1/2 years old with 45K+ exposures. I presume it will have to back to
Nikon for
repair or be written off but curious to know if anyone else has come across this
type of
problem. Cheers, phil

Just to let everybody know, Nikon have sent me a repair estimate to replace the image sensor unit which will cost a total of £1125.34. Needless to say, I've...

That's a real shame! So will you be replacing the camera? I noticed that Grays of Westminster have some examples of both D2X and D2Xs between £899 and £1695...
