<p>Nikon's release of the D610 was met with a bit of hostility from many of the D600 users who were and still are dealing with sensor spot/oil/dust (whatever the heck you wanna call it) issues. But it looks like at least a few D600 owners have been treated to a nice surprise from the company service center.</p><p>According to Nikon Rumors, reports have been coming in of D600 users who were given a replacement D610 when they sent their "dirty" models in. The replacements are, for the most part, costing the user nothing out-of-pocket with the exception of some French users and it looks like people in Europe and the US have been getting this treatment.</p><p>Apparently, the 'standard procedure' for Nikon over the past several months has been to replace the shutter mechanism on the D600s they receive. We have no idea why they would take a different approach (and only for select users) but if you're dealing with ongoing sensor spot problems, now may be a good time to send the camera in and cross your fingers.</p><p>(via Nikon Rumors)</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2014/01/28/nikon-replacing-problematic-d600s-d610s-little-nothing/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=5509&news=nikon+replaces+shutter+mechanism+in+my+D600+comes+back+pretty+clean">Nikon Replaces Shutter Mechanism in D600</a> (Digital Camera Review)</p><p><a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/01/28/is-nikon-swapping-some-oily-d600-cameras-for-d610s">Is Nikon swapping some oily D600 cameras for D610s?</a> (imaging resource)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dZip_RGZKqY_WKML1ByYTPEZT0LSM&authuser=0&ned=us">5 additional articles.</a></p>
