Hello guys,

I've owned a D7000 for almost two years. It has the oil spot problem discussed on several forums. Now I'd like to switch to D800 but I'm quite disappointed reading that's a common issue of this wonderful camera as well.

I wonder if it's a "serial number specific" problem (e.g. mostly tend to occur to the early versions only, or also may occur to the ones with higher serial number)?
Is it true that the splashing of oil would leave off after a couple month of use?

Thanks for your answer,
Zoltan
