[QUOTE="bmw guy, post: 194466, member: 16533"] I have a very early D7000 which has a problem that crops up occasionally, usually when shooting continuously. I thought it might be the VR on the 18-200mm lens, so I did some test shots with it on, active on and off, and off. They all had issues. Then I did some shots with the 35mm prime. Not as bad on the 35mm, but you can still see how it shifts over the image in about the same spot. My first D7000 did this right out of the box, so I sent it back and got another one. This one has been getting a little worse as it ages. If I shoot 100 images in a session, I may get 3 or 4 bad ones. I'm pretty sure it's just a bad image sensor, but I don't know why it's worse with the VR lens (I usually shoot pretty fast, so I turn VR off) and why it seems to occur more often when I shoot continuous - usually only 2 or 3 frames at a time. And I only do that because I never know when I'll get a bad shot. I usually shoot with a low ISO, "fine" quality, large size, directly to jpg, nothing special about the camera setup, original firmware, purchased May, 2011. Comments, thoughts, helpful suggestions? My comparatively cheap D50 never did this kind of stuff. The D7000 is way out of warranty. Thanks, Michael [/QUOTE]
