So i was at a chirstmas dinner with my family and i decided it would be fun to take a few photos of the goings on. All seemed well and fine as i removed my Nikon D50 from its bag and truned it on. As i proceeded to check my ISO settings quality and other settings, all still seemed well, and then it happened. I aimed the camera at my nephew who was making a rather comical face into my lens and when i tried to use the Auto Focus it DIDN'T WORK!!! yes you heard me correct, it didn't work!
So i brought it to the camera store, they checked it out and said "well now, it seems to be your auto focus on the camrea body itself has broke". As any person would have done in my situation and so as not to be rude by just looking blankly at the chap, i replied "well then, isn't that something, can it be fixed?" and he then said "hold on just a sec and i will check and see if your waranty is still valid" so he then proceeded to check his computer for my information, within a few seconds he looked and with a slanted smirck and said "your in luck, your waranty expires tommorow" so i clenched my fist, punched the air a bit and said "Yes!" so then he fills out some papers and boxes up my camera.
So thus far in my tale, all seems well, i mean the camera broke but it can be fixed, now here comes the pickle, it is 2 to 3 months before i get it back!!! What kind of show is Nikon running when i have to wait 2 to 3 months to get a camrea back that they built and that broke on its own valition!
Well anyways, that was my long winded story, i figured since i haved posted in months that should fill in some backlogged posting.
