I was taking pictures one day and i noticed the viewfinder went dark with a coloured tint to it like oil on water (greens,purples) i then took the lens off and the mirror was down plus the little lever to the left was stuck down ??? i can touch the lever and it flicks up to the normal position and take one or two normal pics with it until it sticks down again..... i tried oil but its past that ... am i gonna have to spend 200 fixing it??? or shall i just get a d3000 cos ive heard they're pretty similar and for around 200 quid.. .

Is the Auto/Manual Focus switch turned to Manual? This can easily be moved without realising that you have done so.
If not, get it checked out under Warranty. If you try to do anything yourself you will void the Warranty.
Good luck.

At first it sounds like a faulty aperture blade that is stuck after your first press. However you mentioned that this happened in other lenses as well. Seems to me that there is a problem with your camera (e.g. mirror lockup problem or something else). Pls have it looked at by Nikon
SOURCE: I have a Nikon d50,
Inside the camera is a mirror which reflects the scene up to the viewfinder. It flips out of the way when you press the shutter button. When the mirror flips up, the shutter opens and exposes the sensor. When you look inside, if the mirror is stuck in an up position, you will not see anything in the viewfinder. However, the mirror is super delicate....do not touch its surface or try to force it.

Well if you charge for 24 hours and wait about 2 minuts try it then but if it doesnt get a new camra
