Well that rental company had the same experience DUST.

Yup, on 20 cameras.  Do you have any idea how insignificant that is relative to total production? They also have no way of knowing how those rental cameras were used.  I've worked in rental departments before, and let me tell you it is awful.  They also did not say they did the exact same degree of testing on all of their cameras.

I was going to buy a D600 - will now hold off until Nikon has sorted the problem.

Why are you ignoring all the problem free D600's which you are FAR more likely to receive? I know of several thousand, and I am just 1 person.

Who wants this sort of hassle? I am not going to take the chance.

It takes less than 60 seconds to clean a sensor, and you can easily test for this problem in-store.

I am sure Nikon knows what the fault is by now!

If they do, it isn't significant enough for them to issue a statement or service advisory. That is normally only done for safety issues or widespread problems.  At this point, obviously the numbers are so small that they are handling it through warranty or free sensor cleanings - the same way every other manufacturer does it.
