"Have need to go to SRS again tomorrow pm, the 'multi selector' has gone all but non operational to the right! requires excess pressure to get it to work! Very unusual for Nikon this??? Out of 7 Nikon bodies, this is the first that has been troublesome? They do things like beanies and Monopods as SRS I think I'm going to need an extra card and battery as well?"

 

 

Bit 'hissed' off last night, thats 2 D80 bodies down. I sat and counted, since 1990 I have had 7 Nikon bodies, not the hint of a problem with any!! Always championed Nikon? O'well, I sent an email to 'SRS Cameras' at 11 o'clock last night, ' . . .be presenting you with another duff D80 tomorrow afternoon, etc . . .' as I say, hissed off!

 

Finished work early, to make the drive from Suffolk to Watford, Hertfordshire. Parked the car, not feeling confident, I am very miss-trusting of retailers. I walked into the shop, the assistant recognised me, the manager disappeared, reappearing very soon smiling and with a brand new boxed D80! A quick check, soon had him agreeing, there was a fault and full of apology.

 

What can you say, that sort of response leads me to believe that the dealer ships get top backing from Nikon, no argument, I know I have rights and all that, but I did not even have to think about it . . . Faith in human nature and all that :D So I bought a spare battery and an extra SD card, 10mp's dont go far on a 2gig SD card when you get excited, bigger files and large rear screen make the camera a lot more power hungry than the old D70s.

 

 

Happy bunny, see what the weekend brings? Looking to get out after the cod on Sunday.

I hope this new one works for you, Nikon are definitely not known for doing faulty cameras! SRS have to be commended though on replacing it without any quibbles, though I'd expect any shop to do the same under those circumstances.
