Won't autofocus

(joe - 8/24/08)

I like Nikons, but this one is a dud—at least the one I purchased. Brand new out of the box, never would auto-focus properly. All I heard was the motor's whirring sound as the lens feebly tried to capture image. Was mated to an AF Tamron, which cost me $400. Took the outfit back to BestBuy and tried a Nikon 55-200VR and still wouldn't work right.

Gave up and got a refund and bought a Sony A700. Not only a better camera, but saved about a grand.
