Welcome to Nikonites!

Is the memory card new? What kind is it? When it does work are images being written to it?

Hey, brand new memory card, Sandisk Extreme 16gb, no obvious damage, bought from Pixmania so should be genuine? Pictures are going on just every now and again, does not recognize until I remove and re-install.

It is still under warranty. I would take it back to where you got it and get another one. I would be very firm about that.

You did not buy a defect. You bought a NEW camera and that is what you want. NOT repaired, but NEW>

May have just found issue, down loaded firmware update from v1 to v1.01, mentions some disks may not be recognised,,seems ok so far, will up date tomorrow if this was the problem. thanks all for your support, great to have this forum with really quick help.
