[QUOTE="wev, post: 635085, member: 16783"] I was going to past a query here and on the Tam 150-600 thread about exactly this tonight. After repeated lockups and errors while shooting burst shots, I called both Nikon and Tamron support. Nikon was useless, as it was a third party lens and I could not reproduce it with my 50 or 55-200. Tamron was much more helpful and between us we came up with a bunch of testing to isolate the issue (reset body, reset lens, new cards, etc). In the end it came down to the battery. With any of my three Nikon cells, if I get to less than 10% charge, the camera will randomly shoot two or three frames in burst, then lock up entirely, requiring me to pull the battery to restart. Then the top display will still show ERR and I have to switch to single shot for one exposure, producing no image, but one very loud metallic CLICK, then all is back to normal. As soon as I replace the battery, the issue disappears entirely. A further call to Nikon got a "never heard of such a thing" reply and, as all my batteries are the latest build, they do not qualify for replacement. The only bright side is that I am getting 1525+ shots on a charge, so I am pretty good to go with the three I have. [/QUOTE]
