[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 220858, member: 9240"] I believe this is your best bet. I have no inside information with Nikon, but the more stories I hear the more I have to believe that there's just something inherently wrong with the D600 shutter than cannot be sussed out prior to integrating it into the camera. You'd think that you could test for excess lubricant, but what if it only happens under conditions inside the camera body - a little added pressure from a mounting screw or something? And once it's in there, how many shutter actuations do you allow for post-assembly, and how much of a PITA is it to reset all those counters on the chips so people don't freak when they get a camera that already has 40 shutter actuations (someone here was worried about getting a returned camera when there was 25!!). It's likely a problem that was totally impractical to solve, which is why the D610 is here so quickly. So, if the D600 was work $2K, the D610 is as well. Life holds no guarantees, but so far so good on this one. [/QUOTE]
