Now problems so far. Yes, I have had a speck or two of dust but I'd expect that in normal operation.

Having a bit of a moan. I bought the D600, I was told it wasn't affected by the dust/oil issue as it was a later one. It is, I have to clean it every time I use it, but I knew it was a risk I was taking on, as I said in this discussion thread. Nikon UK have said that I can send it in and IF it turns out to be covered by the original warranty issue then they will clean it (big deal, I do that) or POSSIBLY replace the shutter, but only IF and POSSIBLY. They also want my camera for 4-6 weeks, they can't do it faster. I can't be without a camera for a month! I'm trying to earn a living here. So, I'm stuck with spending a fortune on cleaning swabs whilst I save to replace it.

Don't know why I got a double post. Latest offer from Nikon is minimum two week turnaround, could be up to four weeks. And then they won't say it's covered or that they'll do more than clean it, which i can do myself. Whatever, it's too long and if they charge me for a repair then it's probably not even worth doing. Guess I'll start saving for a D800 and hope I don't get one with the left focus point issue.

Oh dear, sorry about that Jan. I suppose the problem with rushing them, might be they decide a quick fix is all they can do. It's also one of the problems of putting all your eggs in one camera basket. I was reading a very good logical and informed review of the D850 yesterday. The reviewer likened the 'bar raising' of the D850 to the launch of the D3....which I wholeheartedly agree, was monumentally groundbreaking at the time. But one person made the equally compelling arguement that a D810 plus a D500 didn't add up to the price of the D850, yet covered most of its functionality. The one thing he failed to point out, was that the two camera option was not only cheaper, but gave flexibility AND if one had to be repaired.....you still had the other to carry on using.

Absolutely. When I was shooting weddings I had two bodies for that reason. Landscapes don't tend to require an immediate back up although of course it is still annoying to be without a camera. Up until now, whenever I have required a service or repair I have used authorised but non-Nikon owned companies and the turnaround has been usually 72 hours at most. Sadly, Nikon need 4 weeks minimum evidently to assess and possibly fix it. If it wasn't that it's the shutter and thats expensive, I would be inclined to get it done elsewhere and just pay for it. That isn't at the moment an option financially. Neither is buying a second body.

Surely there's some comeback on the vendor whoever it was, after only a couple? of months???

I will have to discuss it with them, although I imagine they will only offer to send it away in the same way that I can.

If you bought something defective from a retailer you have a legal right to have fair reparation. Under 2015 consumer rights you have 30days to get full refund. After 30days..... " You're entitled to a full or partial refund instead of a repair or replacement if any of the following are true: 1. the cost of the repair or replacement is disproportionate to the value of the goods or digital content 2. a repair or replacement is impossible 3. a repair or replacement would cause you significant inconvenience 4. the repair would take an unreasonably long amount of time." See points 3 and 4!! At the very least, they should be incentivised by this, to loan you a camera for the duration!! Go bite their legs, girl!
