Message: <blockquote data-quote="macjim" data-source="post: 93033">I've been reading that the problem goes away after 3,000 actuations of the shutter mechanism. That's all very well but it should never have been at fault in the first place. Either Nikon should pay for the the cleaning up till the problem clears or they should provide a replacement camera for those experiencing this. I've not yet seen this particle problem but in saying that, I haven't been looking for it too. I'm ever hopeful I won't experience it but I'm also trying the ostrich head buried in the ground hoping it'll not happen. I've also read various folk say — live with it as all cameras do this — well, after spending a fortune I expect the camera to work as advertised, and I expect this to work without fault. It's a Pro camera in all but name and I expect the goods to work, of it needs regular servicing then Nikon should include this as part of the warranty and give customers good service. I'll admit that Nikon is not the only camera manufacturer that has problems — I owned a Leica M9 and it was prone to getting dirt on the sensor even without taking the lens off, and they were even complaints that cameras were being received by new owners with dirty sensors — I was one of them and had to pay for a sensor cleaning after a few actuations! This might play into the hands of Canon, as this might put buyers off themD600 and have then buy the 6D instead. I know, if the 6D had been available at the time I was trading in the Leica, and if I'd read about this problem, I'd have gone for the Canon instead even though the D600 was the better camera all round. So, Nikon, get a move on and solve this then we might get some piece of mind and do something about the quality control too.</blockquote>
