Hi Gang

I'm a 73 year old with a Nikon D90 which I've owned since 2008. With only 20K clicks its beginning to behave abnormally: the viewfinder appears darker than usual, I can't get the auto-focus to function properly thus the shutter won't release. But when it did function, it would hang up or behave sluggishly. I've tried 3 different lenses with all the same result. I've lightly cleaned and lightly lubricated mechanisms. I've also tried factory reset (pressing the two Green Buttons simultaneously) with no improvement. As a result I'm looking around for another used D90 body.

Any Other Ideas?

Thank You!

Why limit yourself to the D90? A D7200 is much easier to find in good condition. The newer camera has a much higher dynamic range and is much better in low light.
