It sticks, so you'd take a picture and the viewfinder gets darker and often can't autofocus. I tried some limited bending/prodding to see if I can get it back into place, but no luck.It needs repaired.First thing I did was go to Nikon itself, and the estimate is $200. Fair enough, but I'd hate for an "estimate" to turn out to be an actual bill of $500. How accurate are these estimates, does anyone know? Are there other options than Nikon? This seems like a relatively simple thing to fix but the disassembly would be tricky for an amateur.</blockquote>
