But that wasn't his question.

No signs of bird flu or radiation from the camera yet... Should be safe lah...!
Seriously man, if you want it, just go get it. If you are freaked out by the dust, then don't get it.
I just got to handle a D600 recently, and while the spots are annoying, they can be removed with wet sensor cleaning. No sweat there.

Nope, not at all and that's not the only compact camera with dust inside after a while.

Dust creeps inside everywhere sooner or later. But we're talking here not just about dust you can blow off, it's about sticky stains of lubricant.

Went to buy a D600.
Serial number high 803... 50 shots, no dust.
Tested a 804... just came in this week but I found 1 black spot on top left corner.
of course take the 803 one although it could have been an old batch.

No dust and lubricant spots on the sensor so far.
It's a great little full-frame camera.

Did you do 50 clicks in a shop in Singapore before you handed over the cash? And the 804 had one spot right out of the box?
I think the 803 appeared in December last year in S'pore, the 804 in March this year. No need to worry about the serial number as long as it produces clean images.

50 clicks, no bro. thats not nice to do at the shop right? I did 5 clicks and saw the black mole!
Mine is 8039XXX. The 804 I saw was 8040XXX (remember a lot of 0). So not much difference in serial number.
Might as well do a mini review as a D90 + 16-85mm lens upgrader.
1) Overall exterior quality. Miss my old set up. not as sturdy and not sure how long the rubbery grips on body can last. All the caps quality also not as good. MIC D600 kit lens, a world of difference.
2) Image quality. OH MY GOD. 2 things.
a) colour... There is a world of difference in the colour. No wonder my D90 DSLR shots like cannot make it these days vs pro-sumer compacts these days.
b) ISO 3200 rocks! Breathing techniques.. what is that? haha
3) Shutter. I have an obsession for the solid clicking sound, if not Canon would most likely by $7k richer (total $ spent on camera over the years). Very solid. No wonder got dust problem.
4) Weight: So far non issue. In fact, somehow I am holding the cam better. Do not even need a conscious effort to ensure horizontal Horizon.
5) View finder: Better. I don't know why but I could not see the whole view finder in my D90. D600, no issue.
Last words: Fuji XE1... try harder... hehe..
PS:by the way, I am selling my DX set up

With the D600 + a modern lightweight full-frame lens from Nikon [using AF-S 18-35mm G right now] I see no point for most of the mirrorless cameras, especially not APS-C. I feel like I should sell my m43 and NEX gear...
I think the D600 image quality is great, at least with a modern glass. I like the contrast and colors. My serial starts with 203 and it's clean as well.I have not seen mirrorless images, but i guess its good for ppl who do not require FF. but rather just want a camera that can take good clear shots. A camera with good iso perf and low shitter lag for casual shooters.
Even tho the d600 is small, its still substentially bigger than mirrorless and might prove to be heavy and tiring for ladies.

As long as a camera + lens doesn't fit into my jeans pocket only weight matters to me. E.g. a Fujifilm mirrorless X camera is as much bulk to carry as a lightweight DSLR and both require a separate bag to lug around. Of course there are many other reasons to take a mirrorless system with you instead. I still like the joy of using my Canon FD glasses on my NEX for certain occasions and if I need more reach m43/43 and Nikon 1 is perfect for my use.
Anyway, I guess it's getting too ot.

Love the D600's weight.
Packed it, bring a 50mm and 17-35 f/2.8 along, no grip.
Light, convenient and not eye catchy at all. Best of all, I don't have to lug a D4 dual charger along, it can be helluva heavy for casual to moderate photography trip.
Went up to ISO5000 on some shots at f/2.8.
50mm on f/2 at ISO800-2000 performed excellently on the D600.
Didn't even use the sling strap I brought along cos it was light enough to be held by the handgrip of the camera.
