[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 35673, member: 1061"] You're absolutely right, Rick. Oil spots on the sensor has been a long-running problem associated with the D7000. I have read from several sources that the problem was first noticed in earlier production runs, possibly through the late part of 2010. I would [I]hope[/I] that Nikon has it corrected by now. Here's a link to the topic on Nikon's [URL="https://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=6811664619&topic=19686"]Facebook[/URL] page about the oil spots. Personally, I wouldn't even bother attempting to wet clean the sensor. If you don't know what you're doing, it will only make matters worse. I would demand a full refund from BB and purchase your D7000 elsewhere. BB probably has some older models in stock, and the next one you get will probably have oil spots too. Try ordering a new D7000 from your local camera store. Even if they have one in stock, make sure they order one specifically for you so that you're certain to get a newer model that has resolved this issue. Even if you order online somewhere else, you never know how old their stock is and you'll be spinning the roulette wheel again. [/QUOTE]
