Help needed D80 Err message

[lsisaxon]

Upda te:
D80 is in NSC, the ERR is due to the problems in Aperture Control unit ($41) and SQ unit ($24). The total damage is $185 w/o gst. However, the waiting time for the Aperture Control unit to arrive is about 4 weeks.

I have to decide whether to buy a new camera or use the really old Fujifilm S602Z for my HK trip.

Depends what you're going there for. If it's Disneyland with the kids, then get a D90 and it can double up as a video camera too. ;p Then you can consider selling away the D80 after the repair.

I wonder whether it's related to shutter count - how much is your shutter count on your D80?

I also sent my Nikon D60 to NSC for the same error message that you've encountered last friday.However i have yet to receive a call from them on the cause of my camera..

this set is less than half a year...hopefully nothing is serious..!!

I just collected my D80 from NSC yesterday, the repair costs me $197.5 (with GST)
The problem is due to the electronic aperture control unit and SQ unit. However I have to pay $120 for labor cost! The repair D80 comes with 6 months warranty. At last I don't have to upgrade my camera yet.
