I got it yesterday morning, did a few test shots then photographed a gig in the evening without a single hitch.
I took a couple of photos this evening and after pressing the shutter the mirror opened but didn't close and the camera shut itself off. I had to take out the battery to get it going again. It happened a few times again using the manual (MSAP) modes so I tried using the pre programmed ones and it worked fine. I also tried different lenses but nothing changed. I switched back to manual and it had the error once more but I've now managed to get it working again! sighs*
This error happened a handful of times after using my F80 for 2 years but I'm concerned now having spent a lot of money on the camera and equipment AND buying it from overseas (with a warranty though). Seeing as the same error happened on 2 Nikon cameras that it's a Nikon thing. Anyone else had this happen? I reckon the best thing is to leave it for a few weeks and see if it's a "one off" which I sincerely hope it is!
Oh and is the D70s currently up to date with the latest firmware?
Thanks
