Hi everyone, I've come to this forum searching for help with a Nikon D600. I bought the camera in December, and just last month was out hiking and somehow managed to break it. From what I could tell, the lens mount had broken partially away from the body. I'm not sure what caused the damage since it was in a padded camera bag and was not dropped or anything of the sort. So I sent the body to Nikon and they told me the repair would cost a bit over $300. I was just happy to hear that it could be repaired, but when the camera came back to me it wasn't fixed and there was a note that basically said sorry but it wouldn't be economical to repair it.
Basically what I want to know is if anyone else has had any experience like this and what they were able to do about it. Is there any way that Nikon would be able to work with me on this? Is there any market at all for a broken camera body?
I feel pretty helpless here. This was a pretty hefty financial investment for me, and I feel like Nikon has just brushed my issues aside. It would really be a shame for a $2000 camera body with under 1000 clicks to be relegated to a piece of garbage.
Thanks
