Nikon D300 pop-up flash tube broken :(

Postby StarForge on Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:19 pm

Hey guys, I took out my camera to take a few photos at a family BBQ and happened to drop my D300 20cm off the floor when the strap got caught... it landed on its top and when I noticed my remote flash wasn't responding I noticed the pop-up flash on the D300 had a piece broken within it... :(

Does anyone know what options I have here in Adelaide to get it repaired or have a replacement bulb that I can install myself? The only use I have of the built-in flash is to act as a trigger for off-camera flashes.

Thanks!

Thanks for that, I gave them a call earlier and worse case scenario it'll cost $300+ (inc. parts and labour) ... I'll have to think about it, might be better buying another SB-800 / SB-900 in the long run...
