Mine is on its way back to Nikon now from San Francisco. Good thing is, at least they're not leaving it as some blue chip companies would! Unfortunate that this does happen, fortunate that Nikon caught on and can fix it. Perhaps they will do a sensor clean while they're at it :) Sure it’s a small inconvenience!

They didn't ask for the serial number of my D5000. - Don't you need the serial numbner? - I asked. - Is it a D5000 bought in Japan? - Yes - Then it's not necessary. We're very sorry for the inconvenience. So, apparently the whole Japanese batch of D5000s has the power button problem, and will be repaired for free. They will send a courier agency to pick up the camera from my home, and will return it back in a week. Just called Nikon Japan.

Man this sucks. My d5000 is affected by this. I purchased it online through Amazon, and shipped it down here. How could I get it fixed? There's one Nikon distributor here, but it's for laboratory and precision equipment, so I don't think they'll be able to help. And I really don't want to ship it back to the states, for when they ship it back, customs here will probably charge me AGAIN. This $/#&$(!g sucks. What if I live in Costa Rica? Man this sucks.

There's a chance that he just helped out a lot of D5000 owners by posting this. Personally, I think this site should include Nikon news in addition to the rumors (as long as the news is related ONLY to nikon. the reason I disliked the news a few days ago is because it included something about circuit city, which is a company I could care less about, especially when visiting a nikon related website). aye, but in defense of admin, I welcome things like this.
