Still want an 8fps 24Mp fast-focus DX camera to replace the D300s !

Yeah, look, I would love a D300 replacement too, but I doubt it will ever happen.
I normally do not like flip-out screens, but this one seems to be fairly sturdy.
I wonder if Nikon is going to kill off the D6x0 line soon --- the D750 seems to be purposely limited to 1/4000 s (cheaper shutter than D8x0?). If they drop the price on the D750, they will put some serious pressure on the 6D.
But it seems as if Nikon is convinced that people would rather buy a somewhat crippled full-frame body (D6x0) than a high-end DX body (missing D400), so they are likely to keep the D6x0 around as entry level FX.
Somewhat unrelated: The SB500 speedlight looks like a very nice entry level flash, much more attractive than SB400 that could only swivel along one axis.

That's in no way a replacement to the D700, maybe the D610. Confusing naming if that's the case.
Nikon Recalls the D750 Again Over the Same Shutter Issue
Nikon just announced that it’s expanding its recall of its D750 DSLR over the shutter issue that caused ugly lens flares to show up in some photographers’ photos.
As you may remember, photographers first noticed and began complaining about the issue back in December 2014. After the reports spread widely online, Nikon quietly pulled the D750 from store shelves around the world, and then officially confirmed that it was making repairs on affected cameras, which were found to be those produced between October and November 2014.
Well, unfortunately for Nikon D750 shooters, those weren’t all the cameras that were affected. Nikon issued another D750 service advisory yesterday, announcing that the recall is being expanded to D750 DSLRs made between December 2014 and June 2015.

Yeah, I see that my serial number is among the list of affected D750 cameras.
Has anyone spoken to Nikon SA about this ?
They replaced my D600 shutter no questions asked last year, 2 years after the recall was initiated. Best is to just call them and ask, on the other hand if you haven't had issues then why bother? Seems like it's an issue only pertinent under specific conditions. Anyway if you decide to replace, ask them to order the parts and call you when it's there. Otherwise you might spend a while without a camera

Thanks, seems sensible.
Are you happy with the D600 shutter replacement ? I'm a bit nervous about them taking my camera apart, I haven't always been completely happy with work that they did on some of my lenses.

MIght buy a D750 from a work colleague, he is selling his, but now I see why

It is a good camera, maybe get him to replace the shutter first.

Don't think that would happen, he is selling it because he is not using it.
Difficult choice for a almost religious Canon user
Because you get a new shutter… for free?They replaced my D600 shutter no questions asked last year, 2 years after the recall was initiated.

Well if that's the only reason then why not wait till the current one has some significant mileage? They'll honor the replacement for a few years still
I don't know how much mileage his current shutter has done but in my experience shutters have never failed at an opportune time.
