[QUOTE="hark, post: 264409, member: 13196"] YES! I wasn't happy with Nikon's servicing on mine. If you get a refurbished camera, make sure you can at least exchange it within the first 30 days if there is a problem. A lot of the refurbished bodies had their shutters replaced with the same shutters that caused the oil/dust issue so lots of refurbished cameras will still have the problem. It was only near the end that Nikon started using different shutters. If the problem is simply the oil, it isn't difficult to clean. I wound up with something so sticky that neither I nor Nikon could remove it. OR...when they replaced the shutter on mine, perhaps they put the low pass filter on inside out because no amount of cleaning removed the spots--*if* it is possible to turn the low pass filter the wrong way. :p The very first photo after EVERY repair (3 repairs mind you) had spots. :( [/QUOTE]
