After 6 months of owning the D70s, "err" message. It was working fine, I put it in my bag, took it out, and it stopped working (Err message).
The problem is that the shutter and shutter contact fail. Seems to be a known issue and weak link in many D70s (as a simple Web search will turn up. It is also likely many other people with the problem don't post on photo boards).
As I am traveling in Europe, I went to the Nikon authorized factory repair facility and they told me my Nikon warranty is invalid here....it needs to be shipped to the US.
I called the dealer and they confirmed this. I called Nikon service, and they told that 'No, I could not get it repaired in Munich" and "no, I could not pay for the repair and get reimbursed for it'. So, I am SOL and as I frequently travel out of the country, Nikon's dependability hit rock bottom.
I plan on getting it repaired under warranty and then buying a Canon.
