[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 677806, member: 43545"] I think you were unlucky, or some usual condition occurred, possibly even just dirt, that requires the complete teardown. If they have to replace the mirror mechanism and all the post assembly calibration and alignment, that is not unreasonable in cost. It is pretty time-consuming. The D500 has proven to be very reliable and many are operating as new with 300,000 frames. It is one of Nikon's best bodies, along with the D3, D300, and other workhorses. My D90 has 200,000 frames and has been flawless. I needed a focus calibration on my D7000 at 160,000 frames but it was within the 2-year warranty and my D800 needed focus calibration at 150,000 frames and now, 4 years later is still working perfectly, a daily shooter for events, portraiture, and architecture. I don't think my good luck with Nikon is unusual.. Between my cameras, a lot of shots have been taken in harsh conditions. It is certainly worth the further investment in the D500 to keep it working for years to come. [/QUOTE]
