Low battery could cause that.

I agree....very cool shot.

Beautiful. I love the lighting coming through.

That could explain why I've not had any dust problems since new (September 2012, first batch).

As a non 4/3 owner, my choice would be the new E-P5 over the OM-D based on my readings and what I'm seeing.

But when will it be released?

That shows this forum represents a fraction of one percent of their sales.

Very nice sharp photos but I prefer more isolation of subjects. If these are shot wide open then that's a major drawback. Seems very versatile though.

No DSLR dashboard found in the App Store.

I do own a D600 (September 2012), the dust problem is real for some, but mine has no problems. After a 1000 shots I looked out of curiosity and found only two spots in the left upper sensor seen...

Very nice indeed.

That's good to know. I've had mine since September (first batch) and I still can't find any xs dust. The question is, do I still send it in for cleaning just to get a new shutter before the...

Mine stays ON for all handheld or even with monopod. The only time I turn it off is on the tripod.I've read so many varying opinions but I do what I feel gives me the best results.

I guess I'm very lucky too. After a 1000 shots, only two dust spots seen at 200% crop. There is a Poll on Nikon Cafe but these are not accurate as thousands of D600 owners never visit a forum.

I own a D600 and I've seen enough samples on the net to say the problem is real but variable.  That said, I have a good one because I have not noticed any spots in my photos. But  after 1000 shots...

Both are very nice but I prefer the one by the 28mm more so on composition. My favourite genre.

I do. But for some reason, I'm unable to enter the D70 in my past gear.

That's very impressive Sandy, in many ways.

Based on the samples just posted by Camera Labs, the new 80-400 betters even the 70-200/2TC.  http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Nikon_Nikkor_AF-S_80-400mm_f4-5-5-6G_ED_VR/sample_images.shtml

I use mine exclusively for close up / macro and that means on a tripod, VR off and manual focus. But I have seen many handheld close ups using VR that are amazing.
