I have a D100 that occasionally shows an Errr message when you hit the
shutter. It doesn't actually take a picture but starts. Sounds like the
mirror locks up and then you have to hit the shutter again to clear it. Took
it in but the service guy couldn't make it do it. I stopped at Best Buy last
night and they had a D200 on display. I picked it up, hit the shutter and
bingo, same thing. Errr message, hit the shutter again and it fired and
cleared. Anyone else having these kind of issues? and if so, What is it???
Thanks

Modified "Midas touch" ??? (everything you touch turns to what???)
Some people do seem to be able to create things that no one else
is able to do for whatever reason. I have a .22 revolver that we take
out target shooting sometimes. My wife can manage to get lead
sheer about 30% of the time (where the cylinder has not lined up
perfectly with the barrel). For the life of me I can not make it do
it for me no matter what I do. Strange.

    A bit off topic -- but there are two or three things which you
*might* be able to do to reproduce the lead shear problem:

1)    Pull the hammer back *very* slowly, so if the "hand" which
    rotates the cylinder is a bit worn, you won't have enough
    momentum to reach the index notches. (This could also happen
    when shooting double-action.)

2)    Hold the revolver so the left hand drags on the cylinder, thus
    duplicating the conditions above.

3)    Pull the hammer back very sharply, thus possibly overshooting
    the index notches.

    You might be able to tell whether it is not rotating far enough
to reach the index notches or overshooting them by which side it is
sheering lead towards.

    Enjoy,
        DoN.

I had exactly the same issue with an F80 (film, not digital) a few years
ago; the CPU was finally replaced under warranty by Nikon. At first I
couldn't get it to happen for the service guys, but as time went on it
got progressively worse.
