It was worth a shot.
My only other suggestion would be to separate your equipment to narrow down the issue. Use someone elses (or just a totally different) lens on your body, and use your lense on a totally different body, and see if you can replicate the issue. If it shows up on another combo then the common element should be the culprit. If no issues, it is the combination. If issues with both other combos? Well then it might be time to upgrade.

Agreed... I actually am shooting with an old Digital Rebel EOS (Canon's first digital SLR camera) and am having no issues at all with it. This thing has been in my hands from the time it was brand new and sitting on best buys camera shelves. I got an old 18-55mm kit lens with it. Both have been used (a ton) of times and still remarkable photographs come from this EOS camera. Recently I had to send in my Canon Rebel EOS T2i for repairs because the mirror locked up on me. I've had it for about 5-6 months. Canon was having a sale on them so I grabbed it, now I wish I hadn't of. I am paying 50.00 less to have it repaired than I paid for it.

quote=MT Shooter There was this issue with the D5... (show quote)

A recall was done again in 2010 on other S/N's. Not just in 09... Either way, your link should find it.

Thank you for the great advise. I wasnt aware my camera was recalled. I bought it used a few years back from a friend that never used it.

you can look it up using Google.com. Just go to google.com and search " Nikon D5000 Recall" you'll be swamped in reasons and answers to why.

The Nikon D5000 was recalled due to this issue. It's a power issue. This camera has not been on shelves in the US and Japan for a while now and it wasn't long after it got put on shelves that it was recalled and discontinued. It's a great camera as it does take after the D90 model but the power issue is going to cause some major issues the more you use it.

Good luck! I'd just get a new camera.

Buying this camera online is the only option...
