im having problems with my flash randomly going off when its mounted on the hotshoe when shaken a little(some of u might remember i had a thread awhile ago.)

camera : nikon d50
flsah : sb-600

atm its in a service centre(nikon authorised but not nikon service centre uk)

they are telling me that i need to change my camera hotshoe+some general cleaning which is going to cost me about equivalent of RM600 and some servicing of the flash which is another RM130-150+

i would like to know if changing of the hotshoe on cam is so expansive? is it worth the price?

any input would be great. i need to know urgent.... thanks.

i changed the build-in flash including the hotshoe for around RM450 only. Your equipment out of warranty already? Maybe you can clean the hotshoe and the flash connecter yourself and see if things get better.

actually ive done that. its still doesnt work.

anyway thanks for the reply, i went ahead on the repairs already

now i know ive been overcharged for it...
