I have not been able to repeat the problem using the 55-200 lens. I have been able to repeat it using the 18-55 lens but just now I shot at least 100 consecutive shots without the problem.
In regards to some earlier comments, no I wasn't wearing a hat and the flash unit was in the full up position.
I'll try it through Christmas beforing giving Nikon another call.
