[QUOTE="John P, post: 182959, member: 9693"] First off, hello iAHmad Chances are the spots are probably dust. But there have also been oil issues on some D7100 cameras. I would to take it to a local camera shop. And have them determine what is going on. To everyone else. Please do not be so eager to just tell everyone to get a bulb blower. And learn how to wet clean. I had an issue with my first D7100. Luckily I bought it at a brick and mortar store. Initially I had a horrible dust problem (showing up at F8) The bulb blower had little to no effect on it. I took it back to the store. They wet cleaned it, and fired about 300 test shots. Dust was back again really bad. Wet cleaned a second time, and test fired 500 times. This time it had dust and a few oil spots. They had also taken back 2 other D7100's that week. And proceeded to check thier other in stock models. All had this issue. They then called thier Nikon rep. he chalked it up to a bad batch. They had a D7100 delivered from one of thier other stores. And did an exchange for me. The replacement camera has not had any issues so far. At just over 3,000 actuations I have had to wet clean twice. And I am ok with that. But please don't just write these problems off so quickly. A quick read on some other forums reveal that this is a very real problem with some D7100's. I am very happy with my replacement. But tell everyone to have these problems checked out before writing it off. [/QUOTE]
