OT: Nikon Service Center

[MRussell]

Since we have some real photo guys on the board, I thought I'd ask here... do any of you have a recommended service center for Nikon DSLR equipment? My D1 is having an "Err" (error) and won't function, so I want to send it for service. I found this place online: http://www.nikoncamerarepair.com/
but wanted to ask for advice here before I do anything. Thanks in advance.

Re: OT: Nikon Service Center

I bought my daughter a new D70s for X-mas last year, and it had the same message. There was a Nikon service center in Denver, about 60 miles south of where I live. They totally sucked. The only number listed was a recording that told you you had to send the camera in and they would contact you. No other number published or available.
I ended up sending mine to Nikon USA, I believe in California. I just went to the website and found the address. I caleld and they were very helpful and I had the camera back within 10 days of sending it in. Mine was under warranty, but I don' think that should affect the turn around time. As I remember, they said repairs usually take no more than 2 weeks. Hope this helps some.
