D-70 recall
I thought I broke my camera then the other day I came accross this:

[SIZE=1]It has come to our attention that select electrical components in a limited number of D70 cameras may, in some instances, fail affecting camera performance and/or operability.
While only a limited number of D70 cameras are affected by this advisory, if (1) when a memory card is inserted, your D70's memory card access lamp blinks, locking camera operations and preventing operation, or (2) with no memory card inserted, the camera will not turn on despite the battery indicator showing a fully charged battery, Nikon Inc. will service it free of charge.

I was unaware of the advisory and know that some other folks here use the D70. My post is incase any of you fall into the same boat. The camera was out of factory warrenty but Nikon covered the repare. When the camera broke I thought I had done something to it and bought another Nikon (70S - I was saving for a 200) so now I have a backup. I was without the camera for a little less than 2 weeks, starting from the day I sent the camera (lowest rate UPS) to the day I received the camera. I think Nikon needs the camera about 5 days to look it over and make the repair. Faster shipping will yeld a quicker turnaround. Overall I an satisfied with NIKONs service - though I wish I knew about the advisory when I purchased the D70S.
