Absolutely. When I was shooting weddings I had two bodies for that reason. Landscapes don't tend to require an immediate back up although of course it is still annoying to be without a camera. Up until now, whenever I have required a service or repair I have used authorised but non-Nikon owned companies and the turnaround has been usually 72 hours at most. Sadly, Nikon need 4 weeks minimum evidently to assess and possibly fix it. If it wasn't that it's the shutter and thats expensive, I would be inclined to get it done elsewhere and just pay for it. That isn't at the moment an option financially. Neither is buying a second body.
I thought you bought this from Ffordes? Isn't there some comeback on them? Surely there's some comeback on the vendor whoever it was, after only a couple? of months???
