TS pure and simple.  Go get another one.But if you read his statement he didn't get any information from Nikon except it's not cost economical. That's why I said more than likely they took one look at the camera and said forget it. If you took your car to a mechanic and all he said was, "It's going to cost too much, that one's junk and go buy a new one." it might give you a moment of pause while your anus clinches up, especially if in a relative sense it's a +$100,000 car. You chase after the guy and say "Wait a minute, it's almost new and I'm still making payments. You got to give me something". His response is "Are you doubting me, I'm a car repair god! Now go away".He came here a little pi**ed, then get's bashed about because he's letting off some steam, but so far I'm the only one who's offered the guy some practical alternatives to digging himself out of the hole he's dug for himself.Let's face it, between your alternative of throw it away and my alternative of having another tech look at it, what's he got to lose? And as your photos clearly illustrate, the guts of that camera may be worth some money to a person who repairs cameras. At least it's an approach. That's all I'm saying.And lastly, after looking at the camera frame photos, as somebody else said, plastic would have more durable. Middle photo: middle section with the lens ring appears to be detachable, but no doubt Nikon concluded taking the camera appart and replacing that piece, if you could even buy it, would be very expensive.FWIW Cheers.</blockquote>
