Maybe the store you bought from has older D600 inventory.
I would return D600, get your cash back & buy D600 from another dealer with cash back return policy.
I read thru a few Nikon forums and D600 oil issues have been resolved with newly made D600.
I agree D700 is a fine choice if you can find a legit like new example. Having two D700 inhand keeps me from having to buy the newest nikon dslrs.
Once you have a great dslr inhand you can wait and buy when Nikon's QC becomes important for Nikon to care about.
Originally posted by eagle_fly Hi people,
I've had tough luck with the D600.
It is wonderful but got the dreaded oil spots after a week of mildly-intense shooting.
I can still return it, but then what?
I need an upgrade NOW (I have a one year old daughter) and have not upgraded since D40.
I have Nikon glass, however I might consider going Canon, I know the 6D seems to be a bit crippled in terms of features...
I don't feel like doing QC for Nikon (no time and not really sure one more try would change anything) and the oil issue seems very real and widespread (from personal experience and forum news).
And to me not acceptable on a 2000 USD camera.
D800 is too much in terms of price and MP.
So not much choice really. Or?
Cheers
