Feel free to use those damage pics as a warning.

Believe me, I will always unmount from now on!

Well there was an 8 year old boy and a 7 year old boy so that scenario is quite possible, but it doesn't matter, its done and I don't think either of them did it. So if repair is not likely is it worth anything to anyone? A seller like KEH or BH or some school?

You're telling me!

I now have a far worse problem. I left my camera in the bag for the duration of the trip. It mostly sat in bedrooms, since I did not need to carry a camera bag around. At airport security I took it out for the scanner and found this (see attached pictures). It look like the lens has sheared off the body with much damage to each. Not sure if its worth sending in to Nikon, they will likely charge just to check it out or to try to sell it as is and look for a new body and new 24-70.

I can indeed see part of the shutter blocking the path.

Guys thanks again for the replies. I need to read them carefully and check out what you wrote. I did try to put it in video and I got an error. Sorry for a slow reply, connection here is tough and when I get the replies, my kids are sleeping. Maybe I its time for a D850 :) :) I had considered renting one since its fun to have two bodies and not to have to switch lenses. I hadn't considered that I would NEED a backup rather than just enjoy one for fun.

Hi guys! Thanks for the replies! -No error message -The same on every image (since it started) sometimes the black slant at the bottom is there and sometimes not. (Makes me think its a combo of mirror and shutter). -Great question about live view, I hadn't thought to try it. Here's what happens in live view: the view on the screen look normal, but the recorded image has the same problem.

Hi All! I just got to Italy on vacation... and my D750 is malfunctioning. Its either the shutter or mirror (I think). Can anyone tell what the problem is and have any troubleshooting ideas? I took the battery out, set the mirror up, reset all the settings, tried different lenses, different battery. None of that helped. It just started all of a sudden.

<p>Thanks for sharing your story.</p>

<p>Thanks. Great points:<br> I guess I don't really need more gear, but that's a nice thing about renting - I don't have to buy it and after all, I do love gear.<br> Lighting would be a good technique for me to get a better grasp on. Certainly a challenge.<br> Would be nice to try some wide zooms and a super zoom.<br> Set aside personal time. It isn't my job to document every family gathering and it is important to take photos 'for myself'. </p>

<p>Thanks for the idea guys. I don't have much experience using lighting so the lights is a nice idea, but Grandma might kill me if the flash is popping off all morning. Still, interesting idea. I don't use lighting or familiar with it, but this could be a nice opportunity. <br> Good point about the 1.4s Joe. <br> Maybe this isn't the best time to rent gear but my NAS is itching so you know...<br> Still open to more suggestions!</p>

<p>So I went on a weekend camping trip and rented a D500 and some lenses to try, stuff that I probably won't buy any time soon, but I screwed up and reserved the wrong dates. I was able to cancel with no money lost but I lost the opportunity.<br> Soooo... I have family coming for Christmas time and I thought maybe I'd treat myself to some rentals, but nothing is really standing out as something I need to take pics of kids opening gifts etc.<br> I have a D750, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 f4 and a 35mm f1.8. I love low light shooting, but I don't know if any other bodies would beat the D750 in low light, except maybe the D5, please correct me if I'm wrong. So I could rent a D5 but its pricey and sportsy for a bunch of kids opening presents. Any other bodies that might be fun to play with? <br> I also thought i might be nice to rent some 1.4's, maybe a 24mm,or 35mm or 80mm or maybe some wide zooms like the 14-24. I might rent the 28-300 as I am curious about it as I get older and lazier I am more interested in compromises. What would you rent?</p>

<p>I have never been crazy about my Nikon 50mm f1.4 G on my D750, but I love the Nikon 35mm f1.8 on it. Its nice and cheap too at about 1/5 the price of the 35mm f1.4.</p>
