[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 129832, member: 9240"] I understand your frustration. I had my D600 show spots after 300 shots on the first day I had it. Disappointing, yes, but the image quality is worth the hassle. The reason you can't just take this to a local dealer is that the issue seems to not just dust but something in the shutter mechanism itself that not only exudes oil onto the sensor making the dust stick, but something within the mechanism seems to be creating the "dust" particles you're seeing. So it's not just a matter of cleaning but of replacing the shutter. You can clean it yourself, but eventually you will want to have it serviced. Better to do it sooner than later just in case it happens again (I have not heard that this has recurred after the repair). Mine was sent to Nikon 17 days ago and waited almost 2 weeks for the part to come in (they had run out). It's on a UPS truck and will be in my hands by sundown. A shame to have to wait, but a week from now I won't care (provided it doesn't happen again) because the camera is [B][/B][B][I]that[/I][/B] good. [/QUOTE]
