D600 Do You Have Spot/Oil Issue?

[Vipers7]

I found quite a number a spots on the top left region. Drop by NSC awhile ago and they performed sensor cleaning for me that took about 20 minutes. No time to test yet. hopefully everything is good after the cleaning.

Well... despite all sorts of cleaning and changing parts/mechanism(basically the cam went thru a few major 'surgery')... The problem was still there the moment i clicked my shutter.. The service centre kept claiming that it was dust until I proved to them that it wasn't.. So was it faultless?? Hmm... But I did my part to fight my case and I am very happy with my current 'faultless' camera in good working condition.

People had different tolerance level... Guess i am tolerant as of this moment...

I salute you for insisting the right as a customer. That servrs us an inspiration...

Hope you get what i mean there...

There is no way we can get away with oil issue. Without oil what will happen to the gears?

Why would i jumped to canon if my cam is not faulty?

Id rather use 1 second spot healing brush than 1 week spot removal....

Maybe the oil spots or dust is just like peanut.
This is for me is very common issue an anytime just clean by own for free.

Cheers!

Looks like self-cleaning via vibration of low pass filter doesn't help.

With oil? Of course not, why should it...

If you guys were to look at some of the pictures taken in Flickr in the D600 group discussion on this topic, I will say only 1 truly have some problem which may be related to oil. The rest of the examples, well they are just dust, and people gets carried away saying they are oil spots.

That said, compared to the DX cameras, this camera does gets dust more easily. Same for the D800, and it's been discussed all over the place. I guess we users just need to exercise better care when changing lenses. Dust is inevitable in DSLRs

They could seal the mirror box like Sigma does with the SD series or Nikon with their own Nikon 1 J series.

DSLR mean the lens can be interchangeable.
Dust you can block for fews weeks time an shoot more and get more dust or some oil spots.

I don't think it is a big issue.

That looks cool. I believe they already have the technology to do it, but they keeping it for the next model, D600s

Yes, they do. It's called "Dust Shield":

Doesnt the dust shield create an extra optic barrier and degrade IQ some how ? however minimum .

According to tests it doesn't. The Nikon V1 has no Dust Shield but produces exactly the same output than the J1.

Anyway, if it would degrade the IQ I highly doubt Sigma would dare to put it in their Foveon X3 top model SD1:

As for people with oil spots problems, it is not new. Having problems early in the product cycle is common for many camera models before, and will happen to many other camera models in the future.

If you choose to be an early adopter to be the first few folks to own the latest and greatest, you need to bear the risks as well that there will be some faults and defects that come with any new product releases. Each camera comes with a warranty and that is what the warranty is for. Getting the problems resolved involves going through the right channels and not having a nasty attitude in the forum and laying that bad attitude on others in the the forum.

This serves as a final warning to everyone. If you face a problem, you can talk about it and discuss. But do not cross the line by insinuating violence, and/or having a very nasty attitude that start affecting other members in the forum, neither is bad language (in acronyms or in full) tolerated.

Please read the Forum rules again if you have any doubts on what is acceptable behavior.

Infraction served to BTBFM2.

Infraction reverted to deregistration.

This forum do not tolerate any trolling, if there is any issues, let's discuss it in a civil manner.

Not sure about this design. If a dust shield have to be added, does it mean that the sensor have to be pushed further back into the chamber? Will it change the flange distance, making all current Nikkor DSLR lens useless? :dunno:

Did you even read the last couple of posts? As I said before, the SD1 uses a dust shield as well, that answers already your question.

Hmm.. okay.. but I guess there must be some concerns that's why it wasn't really implemented with other brands?
