Interesting colour scheme there John - yep I'd say they have replaced it.
Certainly looks like it John. Fingers crossed mate.Sorry to bring this up again - but my D600 is still at Nikon for the dust problem and I sent a letter with the camera and an email using the advice from this thread and today I got this email from Nikon
"Dear John,
Thank you for your email.
I can see that your case is currently being investigated by management. Whilst I couldn’t guarantee at this stage that we will be replacing your camera, please be assured I have passed on your request for a replacement to the relevant team.
As soon as we have any further updates, we will of course be in touch.
If you do have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask."
The tonight when I checked the Nikon repair website instead of "Waiting for repair" like it has said for days it now says
"Thank you for choosing one of our exchange offers (16/02/2015). Your selected equipment should be exchanged within 5 working days of this acceptance. . "
Does this mean they have swapped it for the D610 ?
Looking good John. Expect a nice new shiny D610 any day soon
Yeah I hope so... so is that what happened to you. Did it say the same thing on the Nikon repair site ?
In my case, it just stated awaiting repair, then a new d610 turned up. Communications not exactly Nikon's greatest talent.
You are getting a D610 soon I guess.Sorry to bring this up again - but my D600 is still at Nikon for the dust problem and I sent a letter with the camera and an email using the advice from this thread and today I got this email from Nikon

My D610 is oiling like mad. I clean it all the bloody time.

Mine too - cant say I enjoy cleaning the sensor though.
I was going to bump it for a D750 but other than better AF its very similar and I've got an artic butter fly and sensor swabs/cleaner that do the trick.
I've got a D800 and love it, but there are times 24mp is better than 36mp
I've just got the sensor swabs - PITA removing those oil streaks - use the blue visible dust liquid followed up by eclipse. seems to do the job but god I hate it. D750.....mmmm.
Actually I'm after a mint D800 and a Nikon 14-24mm for my trip to Iceland - bank manager refused the 'loan' however - have to make do with the D610 and the Nikon 20-35.
So the D610 have dust problems to ?
D610 is still a top drawer body. There's a few 16-35's coming up for sale on the forum. I've got a Zeiss 21mm but tempted to get a 16-35 as a spare or ultrawide zoom for when 21 just won't do.
Yes, I've seen a few on here but still a little out of reach for the time being. I'll have to make do with the Nikon 20-35 which is surprisingly good given its age.
Well looked what arrived today
Very happy and hopefully the start (again) of some great work together
Thank you to everyone for your help and advice and especially THANK YOU to anibap for all your help I reckon your letter did the job

Awesome John. Glad that Nikon sorted this for you with a brand new D610 and you found my letter useful. Happy shooting with the D610 and hoping to see pictures of your wedding shoots here.
No D4 then ?
Happy Days John
Ive not had any dust or oil problems on the 600 s. I do have a problem with every 200 images or so one body fails to write an image to card.
any one had this where it fails to write to card. Only one frame but every 200 images or so... Very odd.
On a side note does anyone know if the Meike grip (MK-D600) which I bought for the D600 also works OK on the D610 ?
Never had a write failure on my D600 or D610 - the D610 is a marginal improvement on the D600 (ignoring the oil issues). so yes I'd say it's worth havingso not just me then?
Is the D610 worth getting?
John,Well I put my grip on and it works fine
so not just me then?
Is the D610 worth getting?
John,
whats your feedback on the grip? I never used any hence appreciate your views on using a grip on a D6XX including advantages and disadvantages.
