Is it the last one?? I certainly hope so....I know Capitol one doesn't.
There was a D50 at Ado the other day, $50....it said "Memory card will
not lock in place." I figured the spring mechanism was broken, and I could
put a little tail of tape on the card to have something to extract the SD card
with. Well, it came in, and THEY were right, as they sometimes are, about the
defect. THE SPRING was fine, in fact I could bounce the card in and out, doing,
doing, doing.....but it wouldn't lock.
SO I closed the memory card door on it to force it to the bottom of the channel,
but it wouldn't read the card. I started to sweat a bit, I did not feel like retuning
this thing for $50, it will be 1/3 of that just in postage....Then I rolled a piece of
duct tape into a tube and laid it on the top edge of the card, and closed the card
door, and it read the card and it stayed read. Took it to lunch, shot it up real good
and it is still reading the card. I imagine in time the tape will conform and it may stop
reading it, but tape is cheap, and SO was this little camera. I ordered a $25 dollar
lens for it, so for $75 I have a nice small, entry-level Nikon.
Anybody want to buy a small, entry-level Nikon?
