    Imported Nikons.. a lesson learnt.

    Well I did a foolish thing it would seem. In my ignorance in purchased my D600 from Hong Kong having no prior knowledge of the consequences of my actions. I purchased from DigitialRev (whom i can't fault). The mistake was my own. I simply sort the lowest price for my camera having no...

    D600 Dirt/Oil problem still exist?

    Only had my D600 for 10days and have noticeable dust on the sensor. :( The clean function on the camera had no affect... i don't have a 'blower' yet, i assume i should try a manual clean, something that i have never done before or should i get Nikon to do it?

    ViewNX 2? Worth installing if i have LR & PS?

    Got ViewNX 2 with my D600, which i have never heard of before. I already have PS & LR and have assumed ViewNX offers me nothing new or better than can be got from Adobe. Is this the correct assumption? Is there anything in ViewNX that makes it worth installing for? Thanks.
