Fellow hoggers, a quick question about a potential camera repair and your experiences.
I called Nikon (Melville) about sending in my D90 in for a CLA as well as looking into the back-focusing issue I am having (I checked my camera on a focus grid with two different lenses and got the same back focus phenomenon). $40 for the CLA...no problem, sounds good. However, the "service" for looking into the back-focusing problem will be $76 - $304...depending on the problem (CLA included). The range is for fixing whatever the problem is, up to and including replacing parts that are not covered under warranty (??? it is four years old...I thought my warranty has expired).
I have taken great care of the camera, so I am sure there is not water, sand, etc. damage, so I think it will be on the low side, but.....
Has anyone had this service performed, and what was the experience and your cost. I kinda do not want to pay $304 for the camera...I think I can get another used one for that!
Thanks for the help!

They will give you a price once the camera is examined. If the price is too high say no to having the work done.
