Have you let Nikon know about your problem/issue?

Good point eNo. i mean itis very difficult to know the truth from propaganda on the internet. Some can just spew things to muddle the pond even if they dont have the camera at all. So for reasonability's sake, it is the right thing I think, to send the camera to Nikon or to notify them. By that, at least they may have a reasonable view of the sample size or the magnitude of the problem.

it is such a pitty because, without these problems, I thinkit was a home run for Nikon.
