Hey guys.
My buddy got a D3100 and I got a D5100. He is VERY careful with his camera as am I. He has not dropped it, spilled anything on it, or done anything to damage it. All that said, yesterday, he started getting this error.
"error press shutter release button again"
We Google searched this error and found a plethora of posts on various websites and forums concerning this issue. A Nikon representative actually posted that "This is a design flaw in the D3100 and D5100". This has me very concerned. Apparently, it has to be completely dismantled and the shutter and shutter motors replaced. From everything we have read, it takes months to get it back sometimes as they have to wait for parts.
I called Best Buy where we purchased these and they said that we can bring them back for a full refund tomorrow. So my question is, should we just upgrade? Change to Canon? I absolutely love this Nikon but if it's a "Known Design Flaw", I don't want to risk going over the 30 days at Best buy from purchase and being stuck with a malfunctioning camera and lengthy and expensive repair.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
