i not sure of that but i think should need to spend few hundreds bucks.
if the dust in the lens doesnt affect the image quality, can leave it there
just my opinion

thanks shutterdll ... btw, for outdoor shots u use how much saturation?

if under warranty, it is free ler...

Speaking about Nikon Service Centre,
is coincidence or luck or wat?

My D5000 is AP model from HK,
i went HK for vacation,
then my D5000 rosak there,
then HK's Nikon Service Centre is nearby my hotel,
n my D5000 is registered in their database,
so i got it fixed in 2 days for free
LOL

then u r so lucky, bro,,
What's problem with ur d5000, so new got problem??

so new got what prob?

i was jz taking pics, switched it off
then few minutes later wanna take pics again
tried to switch on but no reaction, totally dead

problem didn really found out,
cos i explain to the staff im from MY,
staying for 9 days only, n i nid it fixed quickly to take pics
so in the end the problem cant b rectified in the 2 days,
so they changed the whole internal circuit boards & etc

wow... wish we could know the prob... sounds scary...

Hey hey... finally someone merged the threads. Interesting...

around 70-100 %

wow, u are real lucky. If in Malaysia, need to pay much to repair that

when she take pic of the skies...got 1 or 2 dots there..she cant stand with it...
so..... :S
few hundred bucks are not cheap...btw

warranty over jor..
2 years + liao.. >.<

wah...the 18-135mm lens now cost about RM700 market price...if service also a few hundred ringgits... then worth considering buying a brand new lens lor....

btw... D5000 baru masuk included in this thread? how come we cannot merge D80 as well... ptttbbbbttthhh !!!!

18-135mm so cheap oni????
for me..1 dot or 2 dots doesn't affect the pic wel..
it doesn't worth me few hundred ringgit..

how come.....service..
need such exp?

Sell the 18-135mm off to a noob la, buy 18-105VR. Awesomeness in a box....actually, is it really dust aa? Or could be dead pixels?

or can it be dust on the sensor?

she tried sensor cleaning liao...still the same..
i teached her how to check dead pixel...but she nvr tell me..
nvm..i will check wit her again ltr...

thx...

you wont be able to see the dust in the photo if the dust is in the lens loh...

it can be sticky dust which can't be blowed by blower. My camera also got 4-5 dusts sticking to the sensor. not obvious on normal shooting until aperture stopped down to f 20. Just leave it there..

for her case..normal shooting no prob..
but when she shoot sky..then it is visible..
@@
mayb i ask a pic from her..thn i post up here???
