[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 64097, member: 9521"] Did you buy your camera from a local dealer or over the internet? If you purchased it from a dealer, call him/her up and have them be your advocate. I had a problem with my D7000 and oil on the sensor (well, it's not really the sensor, it's actually the anti-aliasing filter but I refer to it as the sensor anyway) and I had read that Nikon has yet to acknowledge the problem. I called my dealer and explained that my sensor was spotted with oil, he in turn called his Nikon rep who authorized an overhaul. I didn't even have to do the sending, my dealer took care of it. The camera returned with a complete new mirror box as well as multiple other items changed out or serviced. I re-tuned all my lenses and so far it's worked wonders. The moral of this story is that I will always buy my gear from my dealer, even if it costs a little bit more. Having a concerned human helping me deal with the intangibles of camera repair is well worth any extra $ it takes to buy from him. [/QUOTE]
