Several months ago, I called Nikon to check into their handling of the D600. I was connected to a nice, young lady. She was very professional and handled my situation as best as she could, within the guidelines that Nikon had set. I could see that she'd been well trained and versed by the powers that be. Anyway, she asked me for my Nikon account information. Keep in mind that Nikon has a "My Camera Bag" feature on it's site, so that you can register all of your Nikon gear. She looked into "My Camera Bag." She saw all of the Nikon gear that I have. She said, "Wow. You have a lot of Nikon gear, sir." She then told me to send her a pic, which displayed my oil-spot issue. I complied and she agreed that I had a legitimate problem. She wanted me to send in my camera for repairs. I didn't do it. After hearing some of the horror stories of other D600 owners, from this site, I decided to pass. The point that I'm trying to make is that most Nikon purchasers don't have as much gear as WE (Nikonites and other Nikon-deditcated forums) have. We are their bread and butter. We are the core of their market. I deciphered this from her response of my having "A lot of Nikon gear." Personally, I've never thought of myself as being special. She did. She obviously wasn't used to talking to dedicated customers like us. We can take various stands on this issue, on different sides of the fence, be it for or against Nikon. The bottom line is this: Nikon really doesn't have a lot of respect for any of us. We're all customers. If it happened once, it can happen again. I'm really having trouble understanding why we are so divided on this issue. What happened to the Golden Rule? I thought we all live by that. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."
