Well after bleating on about the virtues of the Nikon D90 and how it would make me tea in the morning as well as composing my shots for me, it instead decided to develop a couple of faults and fail.
Some detective work on google reveals that one of the problems is very well known. The Lens has a tendency to drift slightly away from the contacts which results in an error. This has to be fixed by wiggling the lens or simply removing it and replacing it. Not rocket science but seems to me that's hardly the point on a two and a half month old camera.
The other problem has been stranger and not one I can live with. Any photo taken in the the sun in any direction comes out almost black. Using auto with re-set settings has not fixed this and yet the exposure is fine in the shade. Equally strange is that at full zoom it works fine in the sunlight.
So I now have to send it away. Apparently this may take 10 days and I get to pay for the postage. What a great system I don't think.
Still lets see what comes back.
