D7000 low-pass filter oil spots
The Nikon D7000 is a wonderful camera, but some suffer from an unfortunate issue with lubricating oil from the shutter or mirror mechanism getting splattered over the righthand side of the low-pass filter that covers the sensor. This results in bright splodges with dark rings around them appearing in photos. Annoyingly Nikon is dragging its heels about officially acknowledging this issue and is making it unnecessarily difficult to get affected cameras repaired. My D7000 is currently being serviced by them for the 3rd time due to this problem. All they did in previous services was to clean the sensor, so the oil spots quickly reappeared after I got the camera back. I'm pushing to have the camera body replaced but I don't know what my chances are. Not a happy camper.
