I've sent it for a second opinion direct to Nikon but I don't imagine it will get much better. This was a £3500 camera when I bought it and it's stood up to years of abuse to get some mad photos.

Wow, that list is very extensive I understand though that you might just as well check and replace everything on the camera that's possibly faulty or may cause problems in the future.

You'll have a fresh and new camera from that repair - and even with it's 4-5? years of age I think the D3 will beat any sub-1000GBP camera for your use!

By the way, is there no way to get it repaired in name of a company/business? If the laws are anything like in the Netherlands, business investments, purchases (and repairs?) can be declared of their VAT.

Seems like a good idea: I'm not sure if you can insure cameras once they have reached this age, but then again if it's all freshly repaired and checked I see no reason why they should reject insuring your camera and equipment.
