When I shake : it horizontally, I hear something inside, like a tiny, loose screw, : bumping repeatedly into something. It's audible even if your surrounding : is noisy. The D100's we had at TAFE made similar sounds - we had one fouling up exposures when set to manual when the camera was held in portrait mode which was repaired under warranty - the repairer explained that the noise and the fault was caused by the sensor which determined which way the camera was being held. This sensor supposedly adjusts the exposure according to portrait or landscape mode. I liked that idea (not!) that in full manual the exposure was being altered automatically by the camera! k
