Hi all,
Thus far my D600 at About 1700 SC Spotted only a dot of dust n minor bit of oil during 1000+ Sent to Nikon for sensor cleaning in between now The dot was on right side N now a new dot found, on d middle left This kind of dust is not more likely from the shutter issue right? I wonder how frequent 1 can send it for cleaning by Nikon SC during warranty? This post has been edited by dinozilla: Oct 17 2013, 10:41 PM |

I don't think there is a limit on the number of times you can send it in for cleaning, but while doing that you are missing a lot of shots |

QUOTE(Agito666 @ Oct 17 2013, 11:34 PM) Free, you can clean it as many time as you want for free within the warranty period. Not sure about after warranty period. Nikon for being the ass it currently is, pretty sure they gonna charge you if warranty over. |

I know Canon screw its customers too, but not this fast No, the difference is that Nikon screws the people who buys expensive prosumer models, while Canon does so with the 5XX-7XX D range which is consumer range.Nikon used to be very innovative, keeping their innovations and upgrades for higher end products and slowly passing them onto cheaper models. But this time we're seeing a D600 refresh just to fix the oil problem while the newly launched D5300 actually has a whole list of proper upgrades. (Wifi, GPS, bigger screen, non-AA filter sensor) I still prefer nikon's products due to the ergonomics, but I have lost all respect for the company behind these things. |

One thing for sure, even if I'm D800/D4 user I also not happy. Improved LCD and viewfinder on D7100. Built in WiFi, GPS and non-AA sensor on D5300. Yes we get the AA removed on D800E but we pay another premium for it. Those stuff are negligible to most, but if we really need it we have to pay so much more to get it. Which is shitty.This post has been edited by Silverfire: Oct 18 2013, 12:27 AM |

I'm not saying upgrades are a bad thing, but at least treat models in the upper range with equal or better upgrades also mah. Canon can release a 6D with wifi built in, while nikon's response is to say "Our D800 customers do not want Wi-Fi" Sad man, seriously. |
