Well I just received my RMA# for B&H Photo to return my 3 week old D600. Last night, while shooting into the sky around dusk, I noticed something on the left side of the image. I thought it was on my screen. So, I zoomed up and there were a bunch of pretty nasty specs. Nooooooo. I compared the image to what I have seen on forums concerning the dust/oil issues and it's very similar. So, as much as I hate to do it I have to return the camera. Normally I would stick it out and clean the sensor, but I am a few days away from 30 days and didn't want to deal with it after B&H's return policy time was up. I am sick about it because, aside from the dust/oil issue, the images I have taken over the three week period were incredible. This could really be a superb camera if Nikon could ever resolve that nasty issue. ISO performance was EXCELLENT, and Image quality was great with manageable files.
I actually thought the dust oil thing was blown out of proportion. Now I have to decide what to do. If I want to go FX, my only other reasonable option is the D800, but that's really a little too far out of my budget. I am a lifelong Nikon user with Nikon lenses so Canon isn't an option. The 7100 looks like a great camera, but I was really hoping to go FX. I am a little hesitant to get another D600 because the issue seems like a REAL issue and I don't want to deal with sending it back to Nikon numerous times after spending that kind of money. So, looks like if I want to stay with FX, I better prepare to spend more money and get the 800. What a bummer.
