I'm very scared of this problem. I've been reading about it over at DPREVIEW and it seems to strike at any time.

**Waits for Canon fanbois to show up**

Anubis: Sorry to hear man =( Any idea how much it typically costs to service? Is the service warrantied?

Sell it on eBay w/ "broken" in small text at the bottom.

You'll profit.

Sh!t dude, you had better check yourself into the hospital. It's probably the beginnings of pneumonia or cancer or something. I have to say though, cancer is pretty funny.

Nice picture! Sorry to hear about your loss. It just gives you an excuse to upgrade.

Did someone call for a Canon fanboi?

**Insert obligatory 'Should have bought a Canon' comment**

Edit-I'm sure Nikon will cover the defect. Obviously this is a common problem. I don't think Nikon would pull a GM move and deny fixing it under warranty just because you've had the camera for more than a year.
