[QUOTE="ejronin, post: 625233, member: 43743"] Well I think that she may also forget that there are many other factors to what is going on than just gear. As much as I loathed the D3000 after I moved on, I sometimes look back and think about the frustration of using a slightly better body (D5300). Bearing in mind, I'm just a hobbyist: It's entirely possible that the she's expecting the focus points to be surgical. I did this quite a bit when I first started playing with the D3000. My first two lenses were the kit 18-55 and the 50mm f/1.8D. I got better results with the 50 and some of those reasons included was that I expected the AF to pe pin point, dead center in the box, and tack sharp every time. Glossing over how I learned the various ways to chase down disappointment. I completely understand how "out of the blue" something seems to have gone wrong. I um...may have attempted to clean the mirror and focus screen with a paper-towel on purpose accidentally. I might also have used some finger pressure to "polish" the mirror in the same way one might if they were cleaning the bathroom mirror. Turns out that was not the greatest idea I've ever had, but I spare no expense at some lessons, once. :/ (like the time I used a lens spanner wrench for the first time... who knew the metal was so soft?) Perhaps, she may have done something slightly out of routine or unnoticed that degraded the overall performance. I've never sent my equipment back to Nikon, but she may get good results by going back and putting the camera in factory default and resetting all settings. Something may have changed and she didn't notice. [/QUOTE]
