YAY! Success! Not sure what the turn-around time would’ve been for a straight-up repair, but my work-around to just return the original purchase back to B&H paid off; certainly faster than the alternate, which would’ve seen me send the camera back on MONDAY, and likely still would be in transit back to Nikon, so the fact that I have the new body in hand today (Thursday), and it is NOT part of the recall, means that I absolutely made the right call. I feel a bit bad, cause most photogs would agree, B&H is one of the best places to buy camera gear, and this certainly was NOT their fault, but in the end, it saved me weeks of NOT having this camera, which likely meant this initial stint that may begin as early as next week would’ve been done without my new upgrade. But B&H was awesome, as always, and thus I can quickly put this behind me well ahead of where I would’ve been had I gone the Nikon recall route. Just happy my idea worked, and I can quickly put that issue to bed!
