[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 286285, member: 9240"] Just a few thoughts for everyone who is [I]extremely careful [/I]when changing their lenses and always do it [I]in a dust free environment.[/I] As was said, unless you're in an industrial clean room, there is no such thing as a dust free environment. That said, when you put a lens on your camera, what do you do with the end cap? If you're not mating it up with, say, a body cap, you've now got something sitting out, collecting dust, either on your desk/counter, or in your bag/pocket. Do you blow it out before putting it back on the lens? To you blow the lens and body out before mounting the next lens? Unless you're that fastidious, dust [I]will[/I] get in your camera - and even if you are, [U]dust gets in[/U]. Once it does, even with a blower there are often stubborn pieces. [I]Learn to clean your camera!![/I] That said, if you can see something on the sensor stack that looks like it could be debris on a relatively new camera, get it checked by the dealer (one reason why having a local dealer is always a good thing). Stuff goes wrong from time to time with [B][I]every[/I][/B] camera model, so be proactive when you see something - but don't jump to conclusions and expect the worst. As I said in my first post, there's nothing I see in the dust photo that shows any kind of problem similar to the D600 issue (something I'm intimately familiar with) - but that doesn't mean that there isn't an unrelated issue with your specific camera.
