Nikon UK position on the D600 dust issue

Lately, Canon did acknowledge issues reported on the internet and fixed it. E.g the light leek issue on the 5d MKIII, even though the cameras with issues were only taped to fight te problem. But they knew which cameras were affected, and the problem in the factory was solved to prevent future cameras to suffer from the same issue. Also Canon responded to the focus issue on the 40 mm lens, bringing a firmware upgrade linked to a general upgrade ok the MKIII.

Thus, Canon at least shows they are listening and are fixing things. There is no such thing happening in the Nikon quarters.

My D600 has been at Nikon for dust, and the coating is coming off. The more I look at it, the more it looks like they actually did a paint job to obscure the issue. Never mind, the coating is rubbed off again and the sensor is full of dirt (dust or oil, whatever).

At the moment, the retailer has left the issue to be solved by Nikon. But Nikon is in no hurry and sofar refuse to respond to me or the retailer.

I'm a generous guy. I like to help those in need. Nikon is not in need. On the contrary.
If they do not fix it this time and for good, I will ask for a €2000 refund because this is just not acceptable.

So MAIS78, my advice is to wait. Wait until they solve these issues. If it takes a year or more, so be it.
