Details can be found in the official statement below:
To users of the Nikon D750 digital SLR camera Thank you for choosing Nikon for your photographic needs. On December 29, 2014, we announced that we were looking into measures to address the issue reported by some users, namely that when photographing scenes in which an extremely bright light source, such as the sun or high-intensity lighting, is positioned near the top edge of the frame, flare with an unnatural shape sometimes occurs in images captured with the D750 digital SLR camera. To correct this issue, Nikon will inspect and service, at no cost, the camera’s light-shielding components and adjust the AF sensor position. We plan to initiate this service at the end of January and will announce further details, including instructions for requesting servicing, shortly. Please direct inquiries regarding this matter to Nikon Customer Relations by phone at 1-800-Nikon US (1-800-645-6687), 9AM–8PM EST, Monday to Friday (closed certain holidays) or online here. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused, and ask for your continued patience and understanding. Once again, thank you for choosing Nikon for your photographic needs.You can contact Nikon to request service via this page, or give them a call at 1-800-645-6687.

That’s got to be good value
Nikon FX DSLRs Today, 12:08 AM
£1179, brand new! Got to be said - if I had the cash I’d be tempted by that. Nikon’s official UK price is still £2299.
Never used a D780, they seem to have been lost in Nikon’s change to mirrorless and I had a D850 at the time, but they seem highly regarded.

My Nikon Coolpix S9700 has given good service but has now developed a fault. When I switch it on the lens extends normally but then does not "switch off". It just chatters away until I remove the battery. Can anyone diagnose this and possibly offer a solution?

A couple of my basses

I'm not sure where to post these, they don't fall into any of the general categories. These are my two main instruments, both took me quite a while to get the parts, and a lot of tinkering to get them to perfection.
