Where's my D600 comment?

[outonalymm]

On the 13th Feb 2013 one of the main items on the NPhoto intro screen suggested that the D600 dust/oil spatter problem on the sensor would disappear after a couple of thousand shutter activations.

I commented that the reports actually suggested 3000 or 4000 shots and this represents quite a few months for an amateur. I also suggested that Nikon's blatant refusal to accept that there is any common problem in the face of evidence to the contrary was nothing less than an insult to their customers.

Whilst I accept that NPhoto would review any comment before posting it, it's still not showing and of course time has moved on and the report is now a page or two down..

I can assure you that my comment was fair and in moderate language, and also based on my own personal experience with two D600's, so why haven't NPhoto posted it? Is it cynical of me to suggest that their advertising income my be threatened by anything that might be regarded as negative comments?

As someone who is potentially going to upgrade to a D600 I have been watching any developments on this issue and appreciate the opportunity to read comments and experiences from other users. I thought that the Nphoto page would be a good place to 'research' so was surprised to hear that your comments had not been posted.
Thanks for sharing here.

The D600 isin every other way a wonderful camera, but I couldn't accept having to clean the sensor around every 200 shots.

Jessops, bless them, were good enough to first replace it and then with the second one, give me a full refund. Having by then invested in a few lenses I bought the D800 with which I have no problems at all. If Nikon had accepted the issue I'd have persevered whilst they fixed, or sought a solution to fix, the problem.

Might just be worth your contacting Nikon before taking the plunge, to see if by now they have indeed accepted the solution, but I haven't heard anything and I wouldn't hold my breath!

The comments section on the main site pages is separate from the fourms, so moderators cannot look into it. I have seen comments not show up after no errors on entering them.

Thanks again.
From what I've read it seems like a great body, and ideal for my first full frame camera.
I must admit though that the sensor issue has put me off a bit. I did consider the D800, but the price and file size put me off a bit there too.

I'm still pondering so no decision made yet.
