[QUOTE="woodspiral, post: 585099, member: 42800"] Hi, I'm researching full frame dSLRs to purchase one within the next few months. I've landed on D810 as my premier choice for mainly landscape work. The dynàmic range and pixel count put this camera up against medium format cameras which is truly saying something. Nothing is ever perfect, however. I have a couple of concerns for which I can't find satisfactory answers. 1) In 2014 there was a service advisory on the camera which caused in some cases thermal noise. I think the effect was tiny white rings or something like that. People whose serial numbers fell within a certain range were given a free service to correct this fault - those who did not were not given this service but were told to increase their exposure time (or decrease it perhaps) and increase NR. The latter seems uncharitable and unacceptable and I've found 1 star reviews from very unhappy customers on this issue. Question; has this problem gone away now? Question; if buying a new D810 how can I guarantee it is of a new production batch? 2) Similar to 1) there are a ton of reports about dust on the sensor - even right out of the box. Read some reports that the problem goes away after a few thousand shots. Other people believe this is dust coming from the camera itself - from the shutter or mating surfaces of the lens & body. Question; has this problem been formally acknowledged by Nikon and is there any standard remedial action? Perhaps the problem has been fixed? Thanks! David. [/QUOTE]
