Hi Jon,

Thanks for that information. I took it to them this morning. Very pleasant
and efficient people.

The problem was the CCD which failed - but it is the subject of a free
replacement by Nikon. Apparently Sony manufactured the CCD unit and supplied
it to a large number of camera manufacturers and it is now starting to fail
in a range of cameras and models. Hence the recall and replacement.

A two week wait and I will be in business again.
