Yes, I think you should also be aware this is not a Fuji camera
problem.
This can happen on any camera unless it is hermatically sealed. If
air can get it then dust can get in and eventually it will get
somewhere where you don't want it to be like the sensor, the EVF or
inbetween the elements of the lens.
Check all the forums including the SLR forums and you'll see the
same story. In fact it's worse for the SLR guys as each time they
take off the lens they have a big hole in front of the sensor. Same
problem for lenses, lots of guys in the Nikon and Canon SLR forums
shelling out big money for lenses with dust in.
So that's the situation unpallatable or not. If it came like that
then Fuji should so something about it. It it happened after
delivery then they don't have to do a thing but speak nicely to
them and they probably will help you out.
If you want the truth, that's it.
If dust can easily get behind the lens under normal use, it clearly
shows there is a design fault. The fact that other makes of cameras
have the same problem does not make it right.
The trouble is these days there are far too many people who just
accept poorly designed products as the norm. Personally I don't,
and never will let any manufacturer fob me off with some lame
excuse, or even worse blame their shoddy workmanship on the user of
their products. The only way we, the consumer will get good quality
products is by complaining when things are not right. Nothing will
change all the time the vast majority sit on their backside and do
nothing.
If you want everyone to say they
have the same problem: they haven't. It's not very common, and if
you want to make a fuss and complain at Fuji, then you'll probably
be stuck with it, have to pay for a cleaning job or unload it like
you did your 6900.
Sorry Ian, but on the issue of dust behind the lens of 602's I have
to say you're quite wrong. I've personally have had two (out of the
box) 602's with the same problem, so it's more common than you
think.
Best regards,
