[QUOTE="eli, post: 108560, member: 10282"] Some replies: to BackdoorHippie - I can't really see myself purchasing and cleaning a new camera knowing the issue going in. It isn't the way i do things though i would like it if i was more "mechanically" competent in that regard. My car goes to the mechanic even for an oil change. When i purchase a product, say a camera, i expect it to be problem free. And that is my response to Rick M! THough i bought one of the first D7000s sold in my neighborhood, I haven't experienced oil or dust issues. Yes, sometimes focusing is challenging, but i always figured that was as much my fault as the camera's. Regardless, for an amateur like myself, the camera is a tool for enjoyment and not for business. I love playing with ideas and have an ever developing vision for what a camera can do for expressing my artistic side. I don't claim any talent, but i also don't judge anyone for being hesitant about purchasing a camera that has a problem before it is even shipped! Like everyone who reads these threads, we hope our camera purchases help us fulfill our photographic vision. We just don't want it to get in the way with oil or dust that should have been caught by the manufacturer as a product defect. So i will wait until i feel reasonably assured that i won't have to deal with this and then i will upgrade to a Nikon full frame, if that reassurance comes. I hope everyone on this forum continues to enjoy their cameras and gets the shots that fulfills their artistic hopes! [/QUOTE]
