A few weeks back, while I was doing some photos at Moreton Island, my camera broke. Specifically, the autofocus crapped out and I was left the rest of the weekend having to manual focus. Here's my first picture from the weekend, before I knew the autofocus was broken:

Good practice and all but not really what I wanted form a camera less than a year old. Just.

Turns out that my camera broke the day before it was 1 year old. I didn't realise this until after I had contacted Nikon about the issue some days later. By then the camera was technically out of warranty.

I have to give credit to the service guys at Nikon and in particular David Flegg. He was most helpful and was very reasonable with the warranty period.

Even more credit should go to the guys who actually fixed it, Anderson Camera Repairs. The normal quoted turnaround time is 3-4 weeks but these guys had it done for me in less than a week. They also fixed a small problem I had with the rubber grip coming loose.

Perhaps I should have sent them my fuzzy image to see if they could fix that too.
