Zoom in to 100% and look at the lights as they move to the right, up the peak on the bridge and down on the right hand side of the peak. This is Canon's own pictures and that is totally unacceptable for a $3000 camera.

Did they do a recall??? No.

Canon doesn't do recalls. Canon does "fixes". They fixed the black dot problem by basically putting a bandaid over the black dots. You can still see where they would have appeared(point light sources, specular highlights). Not a very good fix at all. I would have preferred to get a recall and have it fixed properly.]]>Aug 19th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/"well then buy the Olympus E-620, see if I care!"

then again, anybody under 25 is sure not to know what that is. i don't know why i know that at only 19. chalk it up to way too much online time!]]>Aug 19th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/D5000-Service-Advisory.page) makes pretty clear they simply found additional serial numbers affected.

The problem is the time and effort it takes to take the damn thing back to be fixed every time.
I am really disappointed in this camera and will not recommend it to anybody because it is not reliable at all...]]>Dec 26th 2009 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/
2 out of the 4 cameras wouldn't switch on, so I got them replaced at high street store!]]>Aug 19th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/Aug 19th 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/

They sent me back a different camera. Different S/N, the works. I really, really hope it's a new one and not someone else's refurbished. My SD card from the old camera is taped to the body, so I suspect it was intentional.

Nikon will get a call tomorrow.]]>Feb 9th 2010 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/nikon-issues-statement-on-second-d5000-recall/
I don't quite understand why the turnaround time would be 12 days if they are simply replacing every D5000 that comes in.]]>Feb 10th 2010 10:25AM
