I just got my D200 back from Nikon 9 weeks for
DBS (search on dpreview for DBS) camera would say dead battery and it was fully charged, they replaced everything and now the grip doesn't work.
causes camera to lock up, no display. I have to remove batteries to get it working.
Nikon called it lost of battery connection..
good luck

Forgot to say I have the latest firmwear.

Well Nikon had me run a series of tests.
1- Grip MB-D200 vs Non-Grip. I eliminated the grip as the cause, even though it never happened before I started using the grip.
2- AF vs AF-S lens, It doesn't happen with just primes, only on AF-S with VR, it must induce a current surge?
I just sent it in.. They got a BIG backlog.

I just got an 18 - 200 VR and it seems to get stuck at times and not-AF, when I switch to another lens and shoot its find so i know its not the body (D200) seem to happen at the long end, changing it to 85mm seem to free it up.
Setting it /m and using it as a range finder works ok, so i think its a af-s motor or gear drive.
Other than this problem I like the lens, though not as sharp as a 70-200mm f/2.8
I am leaving for a photo shoot Monday and will bring a back 18-70mm.
and send it in when I get back.
Happy shooting.

Many thanks for all the work and info, I shoot with the D200 and 70-200 mm with the TC17E, so its very usefull.

I just had a good service experience with Nikon service at the Melville service center. Repair was to a damaged 60mm Nikkor lens.
They brought the smashed lens (from a drop)back to like new staus for $170 and 7 days turn around. I am very happy with my favorite lens again.

I've had it happen several times causing me to change batteries and change the same battery back.
I've switched to the grip MB-D200 and have not had a problem.

I run a free plugin called Ditto

Thanks to Rory Hill for this great tool..
-
Is there any difference optically or features between the 60mm AF Micro Nikkor f2.8 and the D version other than with the flash?
-
My local guy will match or beat B&H so I don't buy online much any more.
-
BTW $25 is awesome... most went for $75
I got a snip in for one, looks like cameta has a boat load..
Well its the obselete ones.

Hook your laptop up to a digital projector and run a slideshow of the photos as they up load for more sales and visual adversitment.
back to the question, i think you would need to turn on file sharing and have the firewall open for the wifi.. encription would be a nighmare.
Pleas lets us know how it works or doesn't work.. lol

PC-Moble has added pricing into to there MC-35 custom cable,
for the Garmin it $53.00. Looks like great design, it does away with the GPS cable and is all in one. It cleans up the cable mess you have when hooking a MC-35 to a GPS.
-
The D200 has menu feature where you can program the middle of the
nav button to zoom in, I has mind set for a 100% so I can see
how sharp the image is. This a great feature. I don't any other camera is as feature rich or as complicated. :)
RTM again and again or buy Thom Hogan guide http://www.bythom.com/
Read the messages on the Nikonians board.
-
The folks at pc-moble have informed me that there cable will out in 2 weeks, no price yet, so i'm on hold.
-
BTW Guys, The Garmin mounting bracket for the dashboard is plastic and fit the hot shoe nicely, un-like the Velcro kludge that Red Hen uses.
-
Well hi Josh and thanks everybody for the reply.
Yes; I'm a retired PCB design engrg and know how to solder,
but was worried about blowing up my D200... lol
thou I wouldn't mind reverse engrg a MC-35 and build my own.
Please let me know how your works out..

So I was only able to find the cable at several ripoff camera shops
, it's current selling for $189.00 plus shipping.
Ebay auctions are also running about $187.00
It look like in Januray a offshore company will start producing them at
an unknown cost, but looks like a nice product, it will have custom connectors
for each GPS reciever.
Here's the link, email them if interested.
