Hi Everyone I have a D7000 it won't auto focus the attached lens. I tried cleaning the contacts with an eraser, no go! I got an estimate from Nikon of $350.00 to repair. I was not sure if that made sense. I did see other repair services online. I have only used Nikon for repair. I did fill out a repair estimate form on a website (VideoCamRepair) I got an email and estimate of $159.00 and the tech is listed as Art Kes Has anyone used them? I also got an estimate from Pro Camera fix in California $122.00 Any comments on them? Can anyone suggest a good repair place? Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you search on eBay for "Completed" auctions/sales of the D7000, a basically "almost new, 500 shutter actuations) with all the original manuals, CDs, boxes, etc... is the range of $285.... Even at $150 for that camera, I'd have to think hard and long before repairing it versus chalk it up to bad luck and just getting a Newer version camera...
