[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 220604, member: 9240"] Nikon warrants each repair for a period of time, and the issue in question either appears almost immediately, or does not appear again. So, if it's sent in for service the best thing you can do when it comes back is to shoot, shoot, shoot, and in my experience, shoot in Continuous mode as it tends to exercise the shutter more thoroughly. In both cases oil spots appeared in under 300 actuations, which I shot in the first 24 hours after getting it back. Shutter #3 has shown no such spots - though dust is there, as it has been on my D800 and D7000. Too many people confuse the two. And btw, my D600 is no "second camera", even with a D800 in the house. It's my primary shooter unless I absolutely need MP's. Best of luck with it. I strongly disagree with the idea that the model is, in and of itself, a lemon, but it does have problems. My experiences with customer service, like VectorZ, have been largely positive. I've found that going straight to the local customer service number, bypassing the service department, got me more timely and more accurate information. [/QUOTE]
