Are there any d600 owners that did not experience the shutter/sensor issues? What percentage of owners had this problem?

I purchased a nikon refurb d600 and have had no dust problems in the last year of ownership, shooting several weddings, lots of long exposure / astrophotography, etc.

Mine got worse with age. What was a negligible problem at 2,000 clicks became a serious problem at 4,00 clicks. A new shutter made it worse degrading seriously after 1000 shots. I have been without the camera 5 weeks waiting for a supposedly different part number shutter to be installed.Update. Nikon replaced the camera in April with a D610 body. That camera seems fine.

I am lucky not to have this oil problem. I have tenth of thousands of shots and the only issue I have is from a cheap lenses I purchased (the old Nikon F1.8D which I traded in for $50, I know low price). On my last convention of 4 days, 3 nights, I just snapped through more than 6000 shots with a Tamron 24-70mm, F2.8 lenses.

The D600 has had a known issue with the sensor; recently a class action suit was filed against Nikon, and the judgement was that Nikon needs to repair those units and Nikon has recalled them. i believe by doing so, you will be getting the new D610, which is an excellent upgrade. I do not see the D610 vs. XT-1 as an either or - they are both excellent, but different, and the D600 will still produce superior images due to its sensor characteristics. I love my XT1 and I love my Nikon D700, and D800. Different tools is all.

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

It's my favorite camera ever, and I also own a DSLR. That said, I discovered a small piece of dust or debris on the sensor through a photo of the sky shot at f/16, focused at infinity. Otherwise I wouldn't have discovered the dust. I sent the camera back to Ricoh repair services for warranty service about a month ago, and it's in transit back to me now. This is not a common occurrence, and I was told by a Ricoh product specialist that the dust most likely entered the camera during the manufacturing process. A clean room where the cameras are assembled probably became temporarily contaminated.

I can't say for sure, but the D600 sure did and still does. What scares me though is Nikon not owning this issue with the D600 and blaming the customers for "improper usage of equipment". I wouldn't blow away $2,000 plus on a product I am not so sure still has any QA issues. Cheers!

I use this on a D200. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a D600. I also want to add that for the money it's been a investment investment. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Tom Nolan

Ronald if this question is directed at me I cannot help you. I no longer have the camera, didn't experience any lens or sensor problems and do not have one for sale. Sorry.

I have not had the camera for that long, only about 4 months, but have not had the problem occur. Before buying this model, I did a lot of research about the problem and was confident enough that it had been fixed, to shell out almost two grand for the camera. The Ken Rockwell website is a good source of information on Nikon and Canon cameras. I relied heavily on Ken Rockwell's opinion. On another note, I absolutely love everything about this camera.

I'm sure there will be a variety of responses for this question but personally I had sent mine back to the Nikon Repair Center in NY (for the 5th time) when they offered me a refund. At that point my D600 only had a month of the 1 yr. warranty left and I pretty much had demanded they either FIX it or REPLACE it. They said they could "keep working on it" (didn't really say they could FIX it) or they could refund me so I took the refund. So basically I just gave mine back to them "as is".

Nikon has fixed the issues, but Nikon has not ever mentioned any problems either so just double check if you order one. I brought one less then a month ago without any issue tested and passed. It was found that one of the alignment stations was not calibrating correctly and about 20% of the models were effected according to Thom Hogan.

Yes, I have most definitely had my share of problems with the D800 body as well as the new D600 body. D800 is in Melville, NY even as I type this being "repaired for left focus issue, oil on the sensor, and dust/dirt on the mirror and focusing screen...and NO, I did NOT take it into the Gobi Desert during a sand storm, :o) It was being used carefully for normal shots at the zoo, in the back yard, at a balloon festival, etc. At this point, I cannot recommend either of these bodies. And, that is the first time I've said that since my first Nikon F2 purchased in 1976!

Did you end up buying this camera? My D7100 did horrible in low lighting. I got "Banding". My D7000 did much better.

Recently returned one because the shutter would seize half way when the battery inside the grip went low. Instead of switching to use the battery inside the body, it didn't seem to do so, and I had a lot of problems. Missed a few shots during a wedding reception because of it.

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

Wish I could help but I had to send my Canon 720 IS in for the same problem three different times after purchase. The third time it was sent in for the same problem, they said it wasn't warranted anymore and wanted $90.00 to fix it. The Canon was replaced with a Nikon that has been picture perfect for three years.
