D600 Do You Have Spot/Oil Issue?

[ageha]

So sad hearing this. :cry:

Why? The D600 comes with a lifelong sensor cleaning service. You just need to bring it to Nikon once a week until the sensor dies.

I believe he meant that as of now, the dust issue of the D600 has not been resolved, and that the only solution that Nikon provides is free sensor cleaning. Exactly how long it lasts is a question, but given that there has been no breakthrough with this issue, a "lifelong" sensor cleaning service seems be the only solution.

Of course, I won't expect Nikon to maintain the free sensor cleaning service indefinitely - they would have to hire an entire team just to do sensor cleaning. After all, the sales of the Nikon D600 can only increase with time. As more Nikon D600 dslr land in the hands of consumers, more D600 owners will claim for this service. It is quite unsustainable.

Cameras and lenses are just adult toys.

I doubt the sales increase, at least here in Japan the D600 seems to be on special offer already coz not enough people want it.

The only way of getting Nikon to find a solution to the residue/ oil problem is to STOP buying its "problem" product since it has been keeping silent about the whole issue!

There has to be some sales lah. Although yes, I have heard that the D600 is not selling well at all. Which is sad, because it is an excellent product that is marred by such a flaw.

I couldn't agree more. Unless they acknowledge it I'm kind of unwilling to give them my money.

I don't think it's sad at all, it's a good thing because that's the only way to force them to look into the issue. So far it looks like they keep producing the D600 with the known flaw and they don't care.

This issue certainly divert sales aways and towards Canon 6D....

Good, maybe Nikon will wake up in a couple of years to send someone over to their subcontractor in China to fix the shutter units.

1st time i got dust spot was around 50-150 SC and it was 2 hard spots at the top middle and left top. After borrowing a blower i was able to remove it.

Now around 450 SC it appeared again and it was around the same 2 spot....
this time it happen to a weekend and am unable to borrow a blower until monday....I can see it when i shoot from F5 onwards even at F5 it isnt that obvious but when shooting the sky can see...super annoying.

I guess i should buy my own Blower since i have to use it so often...Btw can any1 recommend me a small but powerful blower to bring around while traveling overseas???

makes me feel like selling my d600 away....and buy 6D but i m using Nikon lens....lazy to get the mount adapter...

does the 6D has such issue as damaging as the d600 when it comes to anything effecting the IQ?

Not using d600, but you can try gittos rocket blower.

 

[paulboh87]

I would leave the camera at NSC, otherwise it's a hassle to bring it back again and again.

You can read my mind. Why not snagging the D800?

 

[mogwai]

yups, the dust seems to be concentrated in the left field.

it does seem like a fundamental design/ manufacturing issue...but ah well, as long as they don't officially acknowledge it, just clean and clean for now....
