Fantastic turnaround from Nikon service

I sent my Nikon D3x into Nikon on Monday, overnight, arriving in New York (from California) on Tuesday). Today, Thursday, I received it back. Wow! Now that’s service. Thank you Nikon.

I sent the D3x in over concerns about some right-side softness I was seeing. Only shooting the serviced body will tell me if that’s changed, and unfortunately the computer printout doesn’t go into detail on what was done in that regard. Shooting will prove it out. With a 24MP camera, tiny deviations in the lens or camera alignment become important, and that’s not a Nikon thing, it applies to any high-res DSLR.

I also had some trouble with my 14-24 zoom (one reason comparisons have been delayed), and Nikon replaced it. Wow! That goes way beyond the call of duty there, but it does mean I have to test and “certify” the replacement for my testing purposes—some tedium.
