If You Buy A Used D600

[bob_h]

<p>If you buy a used D600 and you are then not the original owner, is the shutter/sensor cleaning still at no charge by Nikon, or it that taken off the table since you are not the original owner?</p>

<p>As far as I know, Nikon will service that particular D600 shutter/sensor oil/dust issue essentially forever for all owners. Of course, parts will eventually run out or the repair is no longer economical, and Nikon may choose to replace it with some D610 or future D620, D630 .... And there could be some debates about whether one particular problem is covered by this service advisory or not.</p>

<p>If you want to be sure, it is best to verify this with Nikon directly, especially if you end up with a gray-market D600.</p>

<p>I actually called Nikon with just this question about a year ago when I was considering buying a used D600. They indicated that shutter sensor servicing would still be honored on a used D600. I would call to double check that it is still the case. I ended up buying a used D610 in the end though due to the price differential being fairly small. Best of luck! </p>
