I could not agree more! Although as soon as GAS comes into play it is not so easy to stay to such commitmentsIt no longer pays to be an early user - they had issues with the D800 AF etc.
Advantage of waiting….. the price usually drops once the hype is over.
This has been my mantra for some time now. As a matter of fact I bought the D600 at an excellent price after the D610 was announced, in the full knowledge that I'd probably have to send it in for shutter replacement. Sure enough, 4,600 images later, back it went. Nikon U.K. turned it around inside a fortnight and I continued happily along for several more months. My only two frustrations with the camera were the A.F. system in low light and the absence of a one-press 100% zoom-in for checking focus. When the D750 came out I broke my own rule and dived in early. So far I've been delighted with it. Although I've had no instance of the flare issue so far, despite quite a few shots into the low winter sun, I'll probably send it in for inspection when the time comes, if only so I can say it's been checked out when I come to sell it on for ' the Next Big Thing!'It no longer pays to be an early user - they had issues with the D800 AF etc.

So true!You're welcome Cam. Unfortunately internet forums can have a way of making mountains out of molehills, so it's nice to get the facts from time to time!
Cool, thank you, Ario!To replicate the issue it is not difficult at all, using LV and a desk lamp it took less than a minute to see the dark band at the top of the display.
This does not mean that it will easily occur under normal shooting conditions.
Slightly above the frame, but in any case in LV view mode it is quite easy to get it tilting slowly the camera upward until the dark ban shows up.Cool, thank you, Ario!
Desk lamp in or out of frame?
BTW, the IR articles mentioned it only happened with some lenses... Do you know if it affects the Sigma ART? I've been having him shoot with that, exclusively, as all the rest are bulky zooms.
I have just checked with the Sigma 50/1.4 Art and the dark band is there under similar shooting conditions (desk lamp slightly above the frame).Cool, thank you, Ario!
