|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Cost for new shutter mechanism? Gary Jones, Photographer Rocklin | CA | United States | Posted: 2:39 AM on 04.21.07 ->> How much will I have to pay Nikon to repair/replace a shutter mechanism in a D2x? I'm comparing prices of used D2x bodies and just want to factor in what I may have to pay for a shutter repair. BTW the D2Hs body that will become my backup has over 290K actuations since July, 2005, all by me. Wonder if that comes close to any record.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Here in Atlanta I took one of my D2H bodies to the Nikon authorized service center recommended by Nikon which also happens to be the same service center the newspaper I work for uses and it cost me $573.44 for a new shutter, the good thing was it only took them 6 days to get the parts and make the repairs.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I sent my D2H to Nikon in El Segundo, CA and was blown over when my camera was returned to me with a new shutter, plus other adjustments, free of charge. The shutter was very close to 150K actuations and two years old. It was sent in a year previously for the lightmeter/focus warranty repair. The turn-around was about 10 days in both cases. Nikon received a very complimentary e-mail from me and my continued loyalty to their products. Good luck! John  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I guess it depends on whether its the mechanism or the blades. Dont really know the difference, but its the difference between $450 and $525......  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
