Well, to say I am upset is an understatement.
Ironically, my first Nikon, been taking photos for decades with other brands. Never had an issue with one until this Nikon 3300.
First off, I love this camera however 1 year warranty about to expire and, right before we were to leave for vacation, I turned on the camera but it would not turn on, green indicator light would blink and then turn off. Ok, I think, right away trouble but for the heck of it I charge battery. Battery charged, same thing, green light blinks then stops, nothing turns on.
Really pissed, removed battery, memory card etc, etc, tried everything, no power except for the green light which blinks, then goes off.
Sooooo ... even more pissed I turn on and off the switch about a dozen times, camera starts right up and works right through vacation, go to upload my photos, once again, camera will not start up, same symptoms.
Once again, turn it on and off many times, it starts up, up load photos.
Tried it a few more times and seems hit or miss, today it works, tomorrow it may not, suggestions PLEASE!
I HATE the thought of sending it out for repair because I just expect if its working when they get it, they will do nothing and it will happen again.
Will the firmware update help? It doesnt mention anything about this issue in the firmware update.
Thanks for ANY advice!
