Send to Nikon. They will replace shutter plate. Just don't expect to get the camera back spotless
John, let us know if you get more dust in operation or oil.

I will give the question a lot of thought and will definitely use JL whichever way I go.I think you've a more fundamental question to ask yourself. Stay DX or go FX.
The D600, is a fantastic camera, but the dust issue is a real concern (as I've found out).
Given the excellent customer support, John Lewis provide, I think you would be safe "risking" the D600 purchase.
Does anyone know how large i can print my image's from the D600 before the quality starts to fade ? I've been asked by a local company how big i can make some prints for them and to be honest i wasn't entirely sure . A1 ? A2 ? Thanks
Depends on the sharpness of the image, but massive is the answer.... I've printed at A2 and had outstanding results.
I have only taken 200 odd shots and have some oil or dust but pretty much expected it. Only shows up badly above f18 and only a couple of spots so not going to send it back just yet.
Had a nightmare shooting day today. Luckily it was just of the wife riding. Didn't realise I was shooting spot metering...
Black horse + white sky = mess!!
Still not convinced on my 28-75 tamron, but will give it another workout tomorrow with correct metering!
But it doesn't take 3 - 4 weeks. I sent mine in on 12th Oct (posted on Saturday) Nikon confirmed arrival on the Tuesday 15th (as did Royal Mail), had the camera back by the 22nd (dispatched by Nikon on the 21st) which was basically a week. No need to send it in over the festive period either, it's not as though it's going to break or anything and unless you are shooting everything above f16 why worry until the New Year?Your right the IQ of the D600 is stunning, I'm just not willing to part with something for 3-4 weeks to have it fixed (especially over the Festive Period) - will be taking back to John Lewis tomorrow.

#1 for me. The 2nd just looks a bit cold.Hmmm...not much activity here... hope you guys are not counting dust bunnies...
Here's one I took recently and processed into two versions.

Just sent mine away for shutter replacement going it doesn't take long!!
To be honest I've hardly "bonded" with this camera because of these bloody dust issues. D90 was great, D600 I've just never felt 100% happy. So I'm hoping this puts my faith back in it. Treated myself to the Nikon 24-70 as I was made permanent at my job. If that combo doesn't please me I give up
About 3000 and it's been away once already.Peter, what's the shutter count on yours for that image?!
The report Mentioned repair, replace shutter unit, check and adjust. Clean mirror box, mirror mechanism and sensor, performing precautionary measures to reduction entry/dispersion of dust particles.I might have missed it previously, but did Nikon replace the shutter or was it just a sensor clean only?
Quite frankly, that seems unacceptable to me. If that's (the image) the result AFTER all that you've mentioned above has been carried out, I'd be fuming!
I'm presuming that the D610 has a new shutter design that can't be implemented within the D600...?
