Have you tried taking pictures with flash? Wouldn't it shut off/freeze/go black?

Sometimes, but that has nothing to do with the battery, they skimped on the processor

I, too, am having shutter problems. I have had my D50 camera since 2005 and have close to 18K shutter releases. Now, it completely sticks, gives me an "ERR" message and then I have to click again to release it, but it will not take a picture. I have loved my camera since the moment I got it. Now I need to ship it to Nikon and wait for the estimate. $300 to repair it??? is it worth it?

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

yes, I had the same problem after 6 months of owning the camera. With my camera, the lens froze open while after using the camera. I sent it to Canon while it was still under warranty and they fixed it. But I am worried that it will do the same thing again. I am really disappointed with this product!

I threw away the camera 4 or 5 years ago after one year use. The camera could not be turned on to take photos. It will cost me more to repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

I thought I had the same problem but it seems that this particular type of camera is just a piece of junk. Sorry you got stuck with this!!

Miss Woracheck: I take a lot of my indoor pictures without flash, but always include at least one with flash. Work with the camera settings--"Auto Flash," "Flash On," Flash Off," etc., and check out how the Portrait setting changes things. You have a wonderful camera and it has more features than so far I have used. Best wishes.

I haven't had or noticed any problems. I've taken several pictures and they come out lovely! I haven't tried taking any pictures using the flash, only daytime photos.

I had same issue. Time to get new camera. Mine died just two days after warranty.

I'm getting error99 due to the flash. If I put it into no flash mode the camera operates fine, just the pix are crap.

I know this sounds elementary but check the settings. I could not get a flash and it was the settings. Also if taking a lot of flash photos sometimes the flash seems to shut down. It takes much longer than you might think to recharge flash to flash. Hope this helps.

I have experienced the same thing but my camera is a few years old. Initially I had an awful time with its flash not working. Just as the warranty would expire, the flash stopped functioning. Nikon fixed it once and replaced the entire camera the second time. But now with this shutter problem, I am fed up. I do not trust the camera, and Nikon by extension. I have a 35 year old Nikkormat which is in my attic, which never gave me any problems. Bummer. I am in the market for another camera, not a Nikon.

I'm really surprised at how well the camera does at low lighted events. I usually take both flash pics and no flash pics but find many times the pics taken with available light are better than with the flash. Hope that helps.

Ya It does that, Camera doesn't detect this flash properly, It's uses setting as if your using the camera without flash, I use it only in manual mode or slave, If you use it in shutter control mode, I will try to increase the iso and Open the apature, So Just use manual mode only.
