Hello Folks,
I'm new to this site and I just would like to share my experience regarding my new D610 which I bought last March at a local Grey Market shop here in Manila.
I decided to let go of my D7000 to enter the full frame arena. It is a widely known fact that D600 has the oil spot and dust issue. I went and got my eye on the D610. They say that it has the new shutter mechanism and the oil spots will no longer be a problem...But wait there's more.......
Lo and behold there it was again! of all the released D610, I got the bad one - that is the sensor issue.
A few weeks ago me and my family went on a summer get away. I was very excited because I could finally take out my D610 and take some beautiful landscapes and portrait shots. I had hundreds of shots taken and during my processing there I noticed some spots appearing. At first I thought it was just a spec or dirt on my lens or part of the shot I made. Then I told my self, nah this couldn't be, because D610 has solved the issue. So I ignored the spots I saw and moved on my processing because I did not see the spots from the rest of my shots...After processing I started checking some of my photos and returned to the picture that has this dark spot. Then I started comparing it to other shots....
I have soon noticed that the spot appeared on a small F stop (f/16)....Then, I still ignored it and hid my camera.
A few days ago, I brought my camera to take some shots of my son and daughter's summer sports camp. Now it made me realize that I should test this once and for all to settle the doubt in my mind. So I took some shots of the sky (set my cam on manual, and lens). First I shot is @f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/7.1, f/8, f/11, f/13, f/16, f/22....
To my surprise, the spots revealed at f/5.6 then on wards. I could see the spot from the lower left corner which and some from the right corner above...So, I went and brought the camera to the store and reported the issue. They said they will get the camera and have it cleaned....
Now I'm really disappointed with Nikon's reputation. I have invested too much to be able to enjoy photography and now this happens. I do sure hope that I'm the only one who got the bad copy...if not then Nikon should clean up there mess...
