How long has this camera been without a body cap? Wondering how much dust has gotten into body, laying on the sensor.

When I bought mine, it sounded as though it was a personal sale and not a company so I don't know how many of these the person has around. I'd ask the seller how long it has been without a cap. As for the one I bought, the outside needed a good cleaning but it functions without flaws. No damage to sensor , the inside looked really good. I have had no issues with picture quality and shoot almost on a daily basis. Hope that helps.

Hardly ever. However needed to buy a replacement body lens cap and for not much more money found this one. It's novel if nothing else. I have used it a few times for mediocre pictures but it's on my camera body a lot

Yesterday I returned from a photo shoot and while processing my shots I see about 8 dust spots on the photos. My heart sank a bit wondering if this will be "the issue". Using the camera's sensor cleaning did not help. I loaded a fresh battery and proceeded with the manual cleaning using my Giottos Rocket Blaster.Thankfully, this cleaned off the spots.I might add that these spots appeared virtually overnight. I compared images taken just five shots prior (earlier this month) and there are no spots at all on those.In conclusion, I consider these an ordinary digital camera artifact. This is just under the 4,100 image on the camera. Yesterday I returned from a photo shoot and while processing my shots I see about 8 dust spots on the photos.

I do. The camera is incredible and has helped pushed the limits in tough shooting situations like only a full frame can do. The ONLY 'flaw' has been a dusty sensor in the beginning. Cleaned myself and all is well. In the age of DSLR any serious photographer should be comfortable in cleaning the sensor as it comes with the territory eventually. I love my D600 and dollar for dollar I personally would choose no other body on the current market.

NikonRumors.com did a survey in September 2013 based on 13,000 respondants. http://nikonrumors.com/2013/09/30/nikon-d600-sensor-dustoil-survey-results.aspx/Roughly 2/3 of the D600 owners experienced the dirty sensor issue. I am really lucky to be in the 1/3 camp. Excellent camera.

I recently purchased and have only used the camera for about 1 hour. Sorry that I couldn't be more. helpful.

I do not agree with J. Gland. You can have a weather resistant lens and a Rebel body. You can clean your camera sensor a lot easier than the internals of a lens. Also, your camera body depreciates in value as fast as a new car or computer...you're lens will hold it's value... One way to really avoid dust is lenses that do not extend while zooming.I've had mine since May 2007 and have used it at the beach, in the Rocky Mountains, at home, in Italy twice, etc... If you look into the front element there are several specs of dust (5 or so) if I look hard enough. They have no effect on image quality. Great lens, wish it was built a little more like an "L", but it's the best compromise for zoom range, 2.8 and IS. I do not agree with J. Gland. You can have a weather resistant lens and a Rebel body.

I have this camera, and the dust problem is for real. I'm trying to fine a solution.

That is correct. Had mine about 2 years. Camera works great. No fogging or moisture intrusion. Even at night the image is pretty good without led lighting.

Well, the laptop bit the dust and I never used the camera so I can't really answer that question. I tried to get the laptop fixed but it is D.O.N.E. - cannot be fixed. It's headed for the trash heap. It was good while it lasted.

If the dust is on the lens, you can blow it away with a blower, or clean with a lens cleaner. But, here's something to keep in mind. I also noticed a lot of dust when I used this camera. Here's a picture with the example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blokh/7556804584/sizes/l/in/photostream/ The dust was actually on the sensor and I didn't see it before. So I cleaned up the sensor and it is gone now.

Just tried removing battery from the grip.(with priority to battery grip) and the camera shut off once I pulled the battery.If battery was set to priority to body and removed the battery grip the camera stayed on. Not sure if one can tell which battery the camera is using during recording (new user to camera) Haven't had the battery die on me yet with a normal day use.

Yes, I can confirm it that the D610 has the same problem. I had my D600 replaced with a D610 (after being sent back in 4 times). Been using the D610 for 4 months and I have hundreds and hundreds of oil spots on the sensor. It's the exact same distribution as the D600 mostly in the left upper corner, perfectly round spots. This is not random dust. It looks like the same darn stuff as the D600

I could be wrong, but it sounds like some thing might be dirty... I'm not sure if that camera has a sensor or not..

No, it's not dust in lens. It is moisture condensation. Now, the camera is dry. Every picture it took is great without the ghostly translucent round spots. Guess the problem I have is different from yours.

thank you for your reply. i am expecting the camera to arrive in a day or two. lets see what is it's condition.

The answers here are good, the dust may be on the camera sensor, not on the lens. If the dust is truly inside the lens, you will need to have it professionally cleaned. If you just bought the lens, the cost of that should be covered in your warranty. Talk to Canon. I had another lens cleaned recently and their turnaround time was just a few days.
