[QUOTE="Kaye, post: 315254, member: 26052"] Hey, I'm new here and could really use some help. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I have waited a long time to upgrade from the d90 to the d7100. So I finally went to Best Buy and purchased the body only. Totally by accident while leaning the camera i shoot a photo using f/22 and when I got home and uploaded the photos I noticed a few dust spots from the sensor. I even quickly tried another lens and retested. Same results. Well Best Buy replaced the camera the next day. I took the new one out a few days later and took some shoots. And yes I checked it for dust spots (was paranoid at that point because I had saved and it was so important to me) and that one had even more dust spots than the first one. Back to BB and they allowed me to mount my 35mm lens on a new camera (3rd one). We checked it before I left and no dust spots. I left the 35mm on the camera and used it for the first time three days later. Got home and the photos were great but tested it and again, dust spots. Cleaned the camera and all was clean and dust free. Went out yesterday (different cleaned lens this time) and took a few family photos which turned out great. Tested it later that night and dust spots again. Did I get a bad batch from Best Buy or is the d7100 just more prone to dust than my d80 and d90? I love this camera. The functions are great and the photos are clear and just awesome. You can't see the dust spots at f/1.8-f/16..so do all the d7100 have a dust issue and people just don't notice or do people just not worry about it since few people would shoot in f/22? Do they just clean the sensor when it gets worse or not have the problem at all? I just find it puzzling that a new camera would get dust in the sensor every time it is used. I also clean my lens and only change lens inside, never outside or in the car. Any advise would be appreciated.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
