Seems like you should run right out and buy another one if you had 300,000 on the shutter count.. jmho.
Oh no. Now you're in the same dilemma I'm in - deciding whether or not to send it out for repair right now. Since I broke my little toe today, I'm not in any hurry to go out and take photos. Whatever you choose to do, I'll be thinking about your situation, Woody.

No dilemma, I'll be packing it up and sending it off to Nikon for repair.
