>>3219911Good news! Nikon finally processed my camera and sent me info. It is still under warranty and it will be fixed free of charge! After reading so many horror stories of warranty refusals I was pretty worried. Though, I keep my camera in tip-top shape and never ever get it into rain, snow, high humidity, temp swing condensation, etc.
I seriously can't wait to get it back. I hope it doesn't die again after another 17k-18k photos. I only had it 4 months. Though, I plan on buying fully manual lenses. Having both focus and aperture rings. That way, if the aperture arm screws up again, it won't matter during the photoshoot/trip and I can still take photos.
