[QUOTE="AC016, post: 166433, member: 9619"] The only problem with this, is that there is a sense of generalization with all the so called reviews online. I find that people do tend to sensationalize things to get attention. Further, people tend to make broad sweeping statements. As you know, with anything posted to the internet, word gets out fast and people start to take what has been said as gospel. I just watched a youtube video where a guy supposedly just took his 7100 out of the box, attached a lens, put the cam in LV and he had this little black spec showing up. Right away he concludes its an oil spot on the sensor. Despite the fact that this spec could have been on his lens and despite the fact that an oil spot does not look like a black spec, he just made a quick and un-tested conclusion that it was an oil spot. He did not test any other lens, nothing. These are the kind of videos that people watch and fall for. These kind of videos are what is dangerous, far more dangerous than whatever ken rockwell may say. I have a 7100 and perhaps there is dust. But, i will just clean it like i cleaned my d80. I understand that it sucks to get a new camera with dust in the sensor, but some people out there go out of their way to find this problem and complain about it. The one thing to avoid is to make broad, sweeping statements about an otherwise great company. [/QUOTE]
