Hmmm the cam is just too new for the weather seals to be compromised; if NSC is not going to do anything about it I suggest you take this up one echelon higher, i.e. email the regional HQ or straight to Japan.
It is supposed to be a pro body of the highest level; it is engineered for "careless" usage! It should not be "just your luck"!
Lol, that guy is retarded. The drop test from the 2nd floor was especially heart pain. Anyway, the microwave test was so fake.
I havent had any issue with my D3 so far even with the latest firmware but the NSC response is unacceptable. It either the NSC tech is a newbie and dont know a thing or two for a pro body and uses the same excuse as the lower model. Or NSC have a memo to use the same response to all customer coming with the same symptom. Either way, the moderator is correct, if the tech doesnt know anything escalate to the manager. You have 2 pro body you can be NPS (if they will consider it), but i doubt it will matter...maybe just email regional HQ and hope they will respond.
Luck to you bro, hope this gets resolved..

In fairness, if Leong23 was referring to his experience here:http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3912407&postcount=47
NSC's reply is here: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3914673&postcount=84
I'm not taking sides, but if Leong23's side of the story is heard, then it is only fair that NSC's side be heard too.
Btw, NSC had now change their story on my case. They are said my D300 is working fine but there are corrosion inside all the part and it is beyond repair. Why is there corrosion, NSC can't comments and it as i do told them that no one will check the condition of their newly purchase camera by open the whole camera casing. NSC insist that my case is the only case in the whole entire Nikon history so they deem to be QC problem.
I do have a letter from NSC to proof my statement. Currently the D300 is working very fine, for the corrosion matter, i still considering whether to take action against NSC.
Did NSC repaired it for u or did they give u 1 to 1? I was planning of upgrading to the d300.... but i think forget about it... stick to my D40x.

Nope, wasted a few trip down and phone call, the service manager told me that he wanted to help but it is the management decision. Ya.... he still own me another letter that he promise to sent me weeks ago. That show how insincere they are. Didn't bother them for last few weeks, as i'm busy with work and shoots, also the D300 is still functionly perfect at present moment.
btw, i do want to thanks one of the tech at NSC who had help me in some way during the whole process.
If you want to upgrade to D300, i recommend you go ahead, it is a very good camera, just that i'm unlucky.
For my case, it is just whether i want to take further action or not, NSC had did their decision, now is only what is mine decision.
Maybe we should just wait what NSC reply to the TS regarding his D3, and i believe people from NSC are reading this thread too.
Glad that Leong's D300 is working fine now.. hope indaybadiday's case would turn out fine.
Maybe it's a manufacturing problem? Or the packaging was not done well or something? :dunno: just a blind guess

Before you approach HQ, may I suggest you find out who's the General Manager for Nikon Singapore and write directly to him detailing the history of your camera as well as the negative impact on the reputation of D3.
At that level, they are more concerned with company/product reputation as well as having the authority to act.
At the same time, you may want to put your experience in more internationally popular forums such as dpreview. It has a wider audience and you may get some useful information.
Hope this help.
Good Luck!!!

Saw this post on a different forum where someone had a similar problem:

Just a reminder that your camera is only as weather-sealed as the lens (tho I'm sure you already knew that!)

Maybe service centers should place a glass window in their work stations so that the customers could see what's really going on inside. They can show the customers their gears and prove what they claim. This is also one way of showing how clean is their workstation. :dunno:
i just collected my dearest D3,e findings is not about short circuit.e reason e why e lcd and e autofocus stops because e vertical shutter button got stuck halfway.why it got stuck halfway ? here's e explanation from them,part of the mechanism beneath e vertical shutter got "corroded" because of liquid substance sipping in.in this case it's probably sweat,the service guy had fixed everything,updated e firmware,cleaned e sensor and he said normally this case is not covered by e warranty but they are not charging me a single cent.i can appreciate what e service guy hav done!:thumbsup:but e built of D3 is questionable.:dunno:
huh?? sure boh... sweat can sip inside d3?? walao eh... jialat... like that have to wear gloves to use ka?
