Mike_R1664876643 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 <p>The shutter release button on my D300s appears broke. It's pressed down but won't pop back up. The rear display won't come on, live view doesn't work, and as soon as I turn on the switch the shutter fires. I just live in a small town and am not sure where I should send it to for an estimate and repair. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks very much.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_R1664876643 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 <p>Thanks Jack. I heard them mentioned before here, but couldn't remember the name. I'll give them a call tomorrow.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 <p>Yeah, APS is good, and of course there is also Nikon in Melville, which is in Long Island, New York.</p> <p>Just want out for repair cost. Given the low value for an "old" DSLR such as the D300S, repair cost can easily exceed the current value.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_boston1 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 +1 for APS. And the guy who answers the phone can actually give you a price range for the repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_R1664876643 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 <p>Thanks again. I called APS and over the phone he gave me a rough price range of $150-$350 for the repair. I just bought a new D810, but I still want my D300s as a backup and for casual picture taking, so will send it in to have it looked at.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_R1664876643 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 <p>. . . or I may even decide to not get it repaired and just sell my two DX lenses and stick with the FX format. At least that would offset some of the cost of my D810 and 'FX lenses, and simplify my equipment. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
