I checked the serial number and my camera is supposedly one of those affected. I've not had even a hint of a problem with my 750 but I suppose I'll send it in anyway... *sigh*. On the upshot, the shipping label printed perfectly.

Sure am glad I didn't let go of my D7100...

The page work now. Mine is also affected which isn't a surprise.

I'm still delaying until there's info out there of those having theirs returned. It doesn't bother me while shooting but I rather know what they'll do and if people have complications or not after return.

I not know if you saw the Jared Polin (BroKnowsPhoto) video; he did find the issue on his shoots of Football matches, that was 1 picture in very many taken.
Guess many can live with that + you did show that your D3300 can also have the issue. I guess it is more marketing after the D600 adventure then something else, Nikon takes their customers serious.

It's a minor problem that became a hype. It's as if any new DSLR that hits the market needs to be a failure at some level. When you browse around a bit, you notice that about every cam of every brand has such complaints. Some get picked up, some don't.

It's good that they fix is but for me personally it wouldn't be needed but since I (hopefully) can get a free sensor cleaning included, I'll send mine in. Maybe the AF adjustment might improve its speed too. I wouldn't know if it is related but my Tam is a turtle when it comes to grabbing focus.

But first I wait until I know if the cure isn't worse than the disease.

Thanks for the link [MENTION=31330]J-see[/MENTION] ... This is what I get for giving away my D7000 and spoiling myself :rolleyes:

FYI, I got my D750 back today from the recall repair and it seems to be working fine. I have not had a chance to test for the flare issue yet which was hard to duplicate even before the repair. However I wanted to alert those who sent in for the recall repair that I had to recalibrate my lenses as the focal plane appeared to have shifted slightly from pre-repair measurements done with Reikan Focal Pro. Not a big difference, on the order of 3-4 units for most of my lenses but just enough for me to warrant recalibration.

My affected D750 focuses accurately with 3 lenses I currently have (2 Nikon & 1 Tamron). I believe that it'd focus accurately with my new lenses in the future. If I send it for a repair of the flare I may have to recalibrate for all the lenses I have and will have. I don't think it's worth the trouble.

I'll not be sending mine in. I went to my store and the owner said he does clean sensors and will do mine for free which was about the only reason why I'd want to send it in. So unless they return with dollar bills inside, mine does not need to be fixed.

It does a good job right now and probably won't do a better job after fixing.

Not surprisingly, some people are still bitching about it ignoring the fact that it's almost impossible to make sure every single unit is working 100% but that's what I've come to expect from today's self-entitled modern society.

This shows a huge improvement on Nikon's part compared to the D600 issue.

entitled? Ever pay $2300 or more for a camera? Thats aot Of money for a camera. If all I ever bought was a d3100 and it had the flare issue id probably not care. But $2300 is a lot of money but more than this its my reputation on the line. A lot of pros shoot backlit and a $2300 should work flawlessly. You can downplay if you want but this is a huge defect. This is something that affects how I shoot. Screw jared polin. Hes not a pro photog. He reviews gear. He makes from people buying gear through his sponsored linkes to allens camera. There is a bias to downplay it.

So no one is entitled to get worth for their gear or demand it work 100%? What about smartphones. They cost $800+. What if it had issues making calls? you would be ok with that?
Entitled... Bet your ass entitled! I want that expensive gear to work flawless with no ifs ands or buts.
youre using a d3100 and your criticizing those who payed $2300 for camera and demand it work perfectly.

To expect that every single unit of a piece of technology is going to work perfectly with no chance of any issues popping up in even a few of them is a bit entitled.

No-one made them pay that much, and if they didn't think it was worth it then why would they spend that much? Higher pricing these days doesn't change anything. Every new device, whether it be smartphones, cameras, or anything else is going to have some issues for the first little while after release, it's inevitable. I've been a victim of that very thing with a previous smartphone. Did I bitch about it everywhere, curse the manufacturer's existence and make exaggerations of about their QC, etc? No, because I accept the fact that this kind of thing is bound to happen. As long as the manufacturer is willing to give you a replacement with no hassle or extra fees then there's not really that much to complain about except a bit of bad luck on your part.

If this kind of thing isn't acceptable to you, if you're going to stick to denying the fact that there are bound to be issues with new high-tech devices to varying degrees then there's nothing that can be done for you. Like mikew said, everyone has an opinion.

Oh, I'd bitch up a storm if any of my cameras had this issue. Regardless the cost. I bust my ass for what I have, and it better work properly. If it gets repaired properly and promptly then ok. I can understand that a lemon or two can get out the door.

-no I dont expect nikon to do proper QC I demand it. theyve been doing a crap a while. now. theres nothing entitled about that.

-to pay $2300 for a effing camera, HELLLLLLL YEA!!! I expect the camera to work flawlessly and will accept nothing less. rare cases are acceptable but not the amount that the D750 and D600 have been reported.

-a bit chutzpah from you to criticize others for wanting their cameras to work perfectly. said the man with a $300 camera and youre telling others they feel entitled to expect a $2300 camera to work perfectly and to accept nothing less. chutzpah of you to tell others " no one made them pay that much" said the man with a $300 camera. dont tell others what to buy or not to buy. I guess we should all have low standards and buy D3100 and just be happy. you really should keep your criticisms about what others demand of their gear to yourself. if anyone pays that much for a camera and accepts that it will fail in critical situations (weddings) when your skill is there but the camera cannot deliver its side and they think its acceptable, that person is just a sucker. simple as that. but then again, how many here rely on their gear in critical situations. so only a working pro would agree. all the hobbyists/enthusiasts dont see an issue.

-$2300 in this economy is a ton of money. pros buy it so they can make a living. $2300 is more than what I payed for each of my 3 flagship nikon F5. you didnt even pay$500 for a camera and youre criticizing others? who the heck are you to tell others they feel entitled to a perfectly working camera? there are tolerances to equipment thats manufactured. not in the numbers nikon has been hitting. their QC is crap. did you forget the D800 af issue, the 24-70 zoom stiffness, the Sb900 overheat issue? those piece of gear costs tons of money and if I bought those, yea, you bet your ass I feel entitled that it works flawlessly.

-regarding your phone. if I payed $800 for a phone and accepted its problems, I would be a sucker. I dont accept defects in elite products. extreme RARE cases are fine. but im certain without a doubt the company would replace it with no issues. unlike the deceitful nikon who denied issues with the D750 and D600 and only after the media and threats of class act lawsuits did they announce they would recall. they didnt do it out of their free will. I have only bitter feelings towards nikon.

Allen's Camera is a reputable camera shop. All the other local camera stores went out of business years ago, but this is the shop that pros have used for decades. Just for the record, it's not one of those web sites where they sell the box for an additional cost when buying a camera body like some sites do.

I have no issue with jared or allens camera. jared downplays issues because thats his revenue. so if he says dont touch the D750 till the light leak is fixed it will hurt his pocket and allen as well. he also has "contact" with nikon USA so he needs to tread lightly on noting negatives on nikon.

I wouldnt be a good reviewer because Id say it like it is. I dont round of corners, im not politically correct, I dont kiss ass. I would say "dont touch the D750 for now till they fix the problem and I think nikon usa suck azz because they denied the issue and after so nikon japan did acknowledge it. so they are deceitful" id have more thumbs down, and a lot of hate comments but thats how I am. Ill tell the person in his face that hes an azzwipe. unlike many who kiss azz to get the "like" from others. I couldnt care less. im not fake.

jared is not a pro photographer. hes a reviewer. he makes videos and podcasts and sells different guides but he is not a pro. he doesnt specialise in specific photography. he shoots here and there but nothing else. hes a good photog, but hes still a reviewer.

I think it's entirely reasonable to expect a reasonable degree of quality control.

I also think it's entirely reasonable to expect a certain number of "lemons" to it make past the starting gate.

I think what we are entitled to is prompt, courteous and professional attention that adequately addresses the problem when some of those "lemons" make their way into the hands of consumers; as opposed to the "bury our heads in the sand" sort or response we saw for so long with the D600. That s--t was Pure-T Unacceptable. You know it, I know it and now Nikon knows it. I don't think they'll make the same mistake again.

No, I don't expect perfection; but I do demand satisfaction.

There you go. Any person or organization can make a mistake, but it is how you step up and make it right is the mark of an ethical individual or company. We here a almost all Nikon enthusiasts and naturally expect the best of them. I personally feel that their customer support has slipped badly lately and if they don't address this soon it I'll have a negative effect on sales.
Canon ha people that actually monitor photo web sites and are able to intervene if they detect a problem with a customer. It would behoove Nikon to do the same.
