[QUOTE="ckm, post: 93090, member: 10658"] All car batteries eventually die. But if I buy a new high-end vehicle and the battery fails and I have to get jump-started every once in a while the first few thousand miles I drive it - that seems like an unacceptable problem to me, especially if the manufacturer hides from it and the dealer wants to take my transportation for 6 weeks to maybe fix it. For some reason the answer "Don't fuss too much, just go enjoy your new car" doesn't sound right. A professional taking 100's, 1000's of pictures a day can't be stopping to clean their sensor while the bride and groom wait. This D600 dust problem got me thinking, for the first time, about what dust I might have in my D200. I haven't thought once about dust in the last 6 years I've owned it and it has never been cleaned - other than I try to be reasonably careful when exchanging lenses. So I got my D200 out and took a few test images as described by the folks testing the D600 and I found virtually no dust - far, far less than any image I've seen of the D600 so far. For me anyway, this tends to make me think that claiming "all camera's have dust problems" isn't an acceptable justification either. It doesn't seem that unreasonable to me for a hobbyist/amateur to be required to clean their camera as frequently as tests so far have shown the D600 is requiring. But, if a person is out trying to close a deal with a client in their new luxury sedan, they really shouldn't be having to dig in the trunk for the jumper cables. Just my marginally valuable (at best) thoughts.... :) [/QUOTE]
