Paul,
The problem began when the camera was only 6 months old, before I bought the grip. I would be very surprised if it was to do with that or the battery, which I might add is perfectly clean.
I may try cleaning them again, its worth a shot I suppose.
The camera came with v1.01 already installed, it was one of the first things I checked.
Yes I agree that "putting all my eggs in one basket is risky, but again, if you had read my posts properly you would have seen the reasons why I had done so for this particular shoot (I knew there would be a second shooter, my second body is not up to par for the type of shoot, and I can not yet afford one that would be, the body I had loaned had literally 1 hour before the event started been returned to its owner, space is limited in my bag and there simply wasn't the roo for a third body). It is as was mentioned before, sods law.
I have realised my need for a decent second body, hence why I'm now looking at D2X bodies (I would prefer a D2XS tbh but theyre a little more expensive). Hopefully if the D4 comes out in august (pahahahahaha wishful thinking?) the D2 series will drop in price again, not holding my breath though.
