Does that still apply on used goods?

That aside, you raised concerns with the seller at the time of purchase, they apparently stated that this camera wasn't affected, which persuaded you to purchase, it has happened, so it seems to me they should sort it.

Jan,
If your camera is giving oil then check what the shutter count is.

This problem was meant to go away after 6000-7000 actuations.

Luckily my D600 has been trouble free on this front but it does need cleaning more often than my other cameras but that is because I like my sensors pristine.

Well I did wonder and I guess yes. So how long before the shutter then fails/sticks due to metal on metal?
I guess this is why Nikon either replaced camera with D610 or put in a new shutter.

It beggars belief that after 100years, or whatever it is, manufacturers still find a way to mess up the basics. Change for the sake of change has a lot to answer for. My own hobby horse is the changing eye cup. I would have thought they could have evolved the perfect shape of eye rubber after all these years....ideal viewing needs have been known for sometime!!! But virtually every new model has a variation in some way. I can't help thinking with all the component complexity they have to deal with, standardising some components across all their models would be a welcome simplification.o.O

But then more things would be interchangeable and you wouldn't need to buy so many accessories.
Manufacturers like to make you buy overpriced accessories.

I've cleaned the sensor again.
Now I'm going to do a day long shoot and see what the results are.
I'm not going to do any dust reference images, or cloning, and if its bad then I am sending the images to Ffordes for comment.

You are absolutely right about the different accessories. Batteries are the worst example of built in incompatibility. But you would think, or should I say, I would like to think, that the market sale value of a rubber eyecup would be minuscule in terms of revenue from after sales. So why change that in every new model? The tooling for making different mounds, or however they make them, must be an unnecessary expense and the perfect eyepiec3 design must have been perfected after 100 years. o.O
