Nikon Customer "Service"

Just shows, it can happen to any brand. I suppose what really counts is the back-up you receive when it happens.

by appropriately do you mean agreeing with you?

this is a similar point of view to the one my ex gf maintained

No, I mean not lording it over me and accusing me of abdicating responsibility me for damage which I had stated in my initial post was down to me, but instead offered constructive advice on how to resolve the problem.

For what it's worth I got the camera back last Friday, thanks to Lehmans for excellent service, zero points to Nikon for service and attitude.
 
The OPs case was slightly different - I certainly don't look into each card to make sure there are no stray pins from my card reader lurking in there...so it could happen to me too, but I'm fairly confident that I'd be able to feel the additional resistance and stop before damage was done - maybe that's the real difference between a Pro and a hobbyist - we're more familiar with our kit because we use it day-in and day-out...[/QUOTE]

You might be right - however, I did notice when I got the camera back that I have to apply a reasonable pressure to seat the card correctly and push the release button out - certainly enough pressure to cause the damage, without being ham fisted.
 
Glad to hear it's now been sorted, Patrick. That's the real issue here. :)

I have to concede that when playing with my GFs Mum's 'pro-sumer' camera that the cards didn't slide in and out so easily...
...or maybe that because I take the cards in-and-out a couple of times a day when on jobs, the metal guides have 'polished-up' a bit from wear - there's almost no resistance on my D3 and D3x bodies until the card hits the metal spring-clips adjacent to the pins...
 
Sorry to go off topic but was Lehmanns good to you Patrick? I'm taking my 500D in for a sensor clean on Friday and I am a bit nervous as I've not had it long.

And the D3/x/s probably has adamantium strengthened utopium pins! ;) (scnr)
