Just yesterday I planned to shoot some candids and my D70 completely seized up on me. When we removed the lens we found the mirror had locked up. The camera man finally had to gently move it with his fingertip, as taking out the battery and other possible solutions didn't help. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I had it happen on my old film cam, but never a digital. I know I've put the D70 to hard use and it's paid for itself. I just didn't think I'd be shopping so soon for another, which is my only option since there is no guarantee the lock up won't happen again. Of COURSE I fell in love with the new D300. "sigh" Any feedback on this would be super. Jodie

I kid-proofed my house but they STILL get in!!
