<p>They replaced the hotshoe entirely and said is it was a circuit problem with the hotshoe. They managed to return it to me in 24 hours which was good!<br>

I asked if there have been any reports in Canada of a similar nature and they said no (which is the typical Nikon answer)<br>

It seems to be working fine right now I'll be using it on Saturday this week heavily if there are any issues I'll update.<br>

That being said they didn't seem to concerned about changing the hotshoe, I'm assuming based on that it's a pretty simple repair, no circuit boards to be changed etc.<br>

Good Luck<br>

<p>I am experiencing the same issues with my D700, it has about 7800 actuations on it, started on July 11 while shooting a wedding.<br>

Seems to be more common when using by SB-900's it does occur with my SB-800's but less frequently.<br>

I dropped my camera off at Nikon Canada yesterday, and they said it was a circuit problem with the hotshoe, I asked if it is common of course they said no!<br>

I got an NPS loaner D700 from them and it is working fine so not sure I've asked some colleagues and none have experienced it.<br>

I'll post an update once I get the camera back!<br>

Cheers,<br>
