man oh man, im so shocked and disappointed that im thinking of selling my d70.

i hardly use it. did 4 assignments in 2 yrs with it. 3 weddings and 1 event. so guess my surprise when i took it out again to prepare it for my vacation, and guess what the autofocus malfunctioned, erratic focusing. geez so pissed!!.

firstly i prefer film cameras because of this. use manual focus easy to see but with this damned kit lens i chave difficulty doing that. i wear specs u see.

donno lah me so frustrated. bloody nikon ctr quoted me 380 for the repair plus general servicing. told them i dont need general servicing as my cam has been maintened well and is really clean, their reply, if we open it we need to clean it . well thats their problem! do it in a clean room why charge me for it!!...im so hopping mad.

the equipment had difficulty engaging autofocus indoors normal lighting..( no NOT PITCH DARK!) sheesh....anyone have same horror problem with the d70?..if not never mind...im just rambling here

Hi! how i u, don't just get pissed off so easy.Maybe i can help u to fix it at a better price. call me at this nos: TEL:67426383

What was the breakdown of the charges? Repair - how much? And general servicing - how much? And what exactly is general servicing? I'm considering buying a Nikon body so would be interested to know more about the service.

how much to clean my d70 body...

no matter how i wipe the mirrors and use a blower.... i just cant get the bloody dust out of it... it looks clean but when u shoot up to the clear sky, u can see specs of dust...

recently sent my kit lens for cleaning at Nikon Ctr, cost me $125....

sekali its the body!!!!!!

dun wanna sent it there again... anyone know a cheaper good place?

It seems that the cost of cleaning the CCD for the Nikon DSLRs is around S$20 to S$25.

At that price you paid to clean the kit lens, you may have been better off getting a new one.

Some commercial entities (not referring specifically to Nikon) charges a significant amount for repair/servicing and sometimes one wonders whether its intended to push the customer to purchase new products instead.

$20-$25?

Nikon Service Centre itself - it may be worthwhile calling them up to confirm the price before you go down for peace of mind.
