<p>Way back when, I wrote about the dust problems we were seeing in Nikon D600 cameras. There was enough of a furor about it that when the Nikon D610 was released I assumed that the dust problem would be fixed. But I'm rather the paranoid type, and I never like assumptions, so as soon as the first D610s were delivered I thought it worthwhile to just double-check that assumption.</p><p>I set up a fairly simple protocol for the first twenty-five D610 bodies delivered:The first image taken with each camera was our standard f/16, white-wall shot with contrast enhancement to check for sensor dust.The cameras then went to a tech for testing and checkout, which involves about 20-30 shots being taken, then back to me for a second sensor dust image.The cameras then went out on their first rental and when they returned I took yet another sensor dust image.Just like I did in the first article, I then stacked the images for each stage in Photoshop using the 'darken if' action to make a single image of the dust on all the cameras.</p><p>The results are pretty clear, and for those of you who hate to read, they indicate the sensor dust issues have, indeed, cleared up (I love puns) in the D610.</p><p>Remember, when you look at the images below, this is not the dust on one sensor; it's the total of all the dust on 25 sensors.New Out of the Box</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/11/08/nikons-d610-gets-dust-free-green-light/">Keep reading...</a></p>
