[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 220335, member: 9240"] The problem with that is that nearly [B][I]every[/I][/B] D600 owner would suddenly claim "an issue" and the nightmare of replacing all of them would be overwhelming. Even offering those who sent theirs in under warranty service would precipitate hundreds or thousands of additional calls to submit a claim in hopes of being offered a replacement, followed by rage and anger posted in online forums such as these when they have been shut down while others haven't. "Why, oh why?! Mine sucks as much as theirs!!" I do believe that Nikon hoped to resolve the shutter issue, and when they couldn't they continued to simply replace one bad shutter with another, hoping against hope that this one will work, while rushing out a new model, knowing that they could do nothing but take a hit and hope that they hold on to most of the D600 owners, either out of loyalty, out of their investment in other Nikon equipment, or because despite their screw up they have managed to put a working D600 in the owner's hands and they are more than satisfied with its performance and original value with no concerns over resale. Flat out, I've never purchased a camera with the idea of resale value. Same with a car, believe it or not.
