[QUOTE="clarnibass, post: 86431, member: 9831"] It is a small issue with pretty much all DSLR cameras, but LensRentals seems to have experience with many of each model camera they rent and claim it is much more significant with D600 than other models. Having to clean your camera every once in a while, let's say a few months, is not a big issue IMO. But I've seen at least a few people getting a D600 with spots, requiring a few cleanings, both wet and air, to get everything out, then getting significant spots again after approx 100 shots. I'm considering a D600, but if this happens to mine it means I'd have to clean it almost every times I shoot and the spots would almost certainly appear while I'm shooting... so I'm waiting for now. I just checked my much cheaper APS-C DSLR. It's a couple of years since I bought it and I've never cleaned it. I constantly change lenses and never bother to be careful not to get dust inside when changing them.
