No picture details tonight, even though Friday Night Flash did meet. Instead, I'd like to offer some advice.
The next time you buy an expensive dSLR camera, spend a bit more and buy an extended warranty for it. My D2x spit the bit tonight, but I have an extended warranty for it so I'm not really sweating it too much - aside from the aggravation.
Listen, if you're shooting a high end dSLR as I am, you've probably spent the equivalent of what is in Fort Knox. I know I did. (Of course, understanding our government, there's probably nothing left in Ft. Knox. But I digress.)
Yes, I've heard the arguments against purchasing the optional warranties. 
Most of the time I believe they are a waste of money, but there are times when they're worth it.
When you pay more for a camera than you do for a car, I'd say that counts as one of those times.
Right now, my extended warranty is worth every penny I paid for it.

"Extended Warranty Hell"
Well it’s final... Nikon is restricted from selling extended contracts in the state of Florida!
Kinda...
It seems that if you purchase a special Nikon camera bag for a D300 for about $150+ you get a FREE 2 year extended warranty.
I purchased my D200 about 5 Months ago so I'm out of luck. 3rd Party contracts are available for twice the price, but the local pro shop can't recommend any due to trust issues.
Well I guess it’s no extension for me..

I'm going to find out how good the extended warranty I bought is. I'll let you know.
