ISO Button (Page 2): I bought my D90 from a local camera shop, and they charged $100 over list. When I bought a D7000 online years later, I checked on the store's price

Sadly, this is the nature of change. We've recently lost a venerated store: http://www.sfchronicle.com/business/networth/article/Legendary-SF-photo-shop-Adolf-Gasser-to-shutter-11040079.php but business is business.

I recently had an old Nikkor lens re greased by their repair guy, but sadly the kids don't want to take over a non-competitive business no matter how good or iconic it was. The world has moved on, no matter how sad that may be.

Do you ever clean your camera?

Your reply is a bit abstruse, Jerry.

Did you check the online price for the D90 before you bought it from your local shop? (or was this before online shopping?)

What was the online price for the D7000 compared with the store's price of $100., over list? Numbers please?

From whom did you buy your D7000 online?

Is your local store still in business?

Do you agree or disagree with my assertions? (You may disagree; I have a thick skin)

Better yet, Jerry, what's your point?

Adolf Gasser was very close to my studio. They billed themselves as a pro store, but it seemed to me at least some of their sales people weren't that knowledgable. The last time I bought equipment at a brick and mortar store probably more than 15 years ago, I went across town to Calumet, which seemed to cater more to pros. There was another place, Photographers' Supply, a few blocks further than Gasser that had better deals on film, paper, and chemistry. I found Gasser most useful for rental equipment. Of course, they're all out of business now.

That was really my point. The market is changing, but it is sad to witness the changing of the guard.

JerryC Thank you for the response. If my comment didn't make you smile your response must have given you some satisfaction.
Life's too important to be taken seriously.

Thanks for the interesting thoughts and advice. Will research camera stores here in Hawaii. If that becomes a dead-end, I will try the fix suggested. Think it's gunk around/beneath the button.

Very clever double entendre. Some caught it and some did not.

Contact Canon. Get an estimate of the repair cost and how to send it to them for repair. Select one of the following options: Send it in to be repaired, set ISO with a menu (slow), operate with a fixed ISO (like in film days), or buy a new camera.

I'm not saying it happened to your camera but it's possible the "dust" was cleaned off using a non compatable cleaner with the plastic of your camera body. That might soften the button and/or leave a stick residue.
