First, I will call Nikon today and talk to tech support and customer service..
Now for the rant. My D7000 is a little over a year old and now out of warranty. I noticed from the beginning that the images weren't sharp. I learned about the back focusing issue and adjusted for it, but it needed to be calibrated. I have an authorized Nikon repair center nearby so i took it in. It took more than six weeks to get it back because they said the shutter was bad and the part took a while to get. They also gave me "the line" about impact damage, but I conviced the owner that was not possible.
The repair seemed to be good and I was satisfied. Unfortunately, I didn't shoot much or use the D7000 much after the repair because of just being busy. I pulled it out the other day and the shutter release seems to be bad. I have the MB-D11 grip and that shutter release works, but the main shutter release is dead. I will try resetting the camera to factory and remove the grip, etc. to see if it will work. The problem occurs in all modes, S, A, M,, etc. I don't have Quiet or MUP set either. The shutter will just not fire with the camera body shutter release.
I am very disappointed with this Nikon. My first was an F2 photomic and it was solid as a tank. I think this D7000 is a lemon.
Ironically, I can still get good, sharp shots with an old D-50 and 18-55 kit lens.
OK, rant off. Thanks for listening.
PS, I will have funds in January for a system upgrade. If the D7000 is fixed and does not cost me too much, that upgrade might just be the Nikon Trinity of lenses. If, not, it might include a Trinity with red rings and some white lenses and a new body.
