Doug. I can see your point re the Nikon service.
My relationship hjas been, say a bit rocky at least. Reluctance to acept that something may be defective, and to return calls, etc. However saying that, Nikon Canada, seems to have a better track record than other areas. During my D2H list of problems, they at service were more willing than in previous years to help, probably once Nikon HQ published those internet links for fixing up, what are now known as, very big problems with some of their equipment. As for the D1h, i hope this one does what it should. As i said earlier today, its the camera i should have bought, just thought having two 2.74 meg cameras was a waste. Further research has shown that was may not be the case, with the advancements to the system.
