Shutter of Nikon D-50

[ifti]

<p>I was taking pictures and my camera shutter stoped working. <P> I checked the battery, replaced it. and reset the camera it still is dead. What else should I do before I send it for repair. Is it worth repairing? This is secod body for me with D-200 as my main camera. <P> Thakns for your help.</p>

<p>Try reseating your lens. That always fixes mine when it locks up.</p>

<p>Thanks JD. I will do it.</p>

<p>It did not work. Any other thought.</p>

<p>Bummer.</p>

<p>There was one time when I bumped my D50 rather hard and the shutter stopped actuating. I depressed the shutter button over and over while gently "whacking" it until the shutter worked. It seemed stuck. The sound that it makes has now changed but it still works.</p>

<p>If it actually does need a repair keep in mind the cost. A used D50 can be found under $150 occasionally. Adorama always seems to a have a few in stock for $200 or so.</p>
