Was the key reason for me to go Olympus back then. Would have been such a cool picture. Any chance in cloning that away?

This is a total disaster. Suppose a working wedding pro comes home with that and has to.clone it all away... I am sure he/she wishes to have used something else, even if some other aspect is inferior. Can Markus' image be helped by the Nikon dust map software?

To be fair, however: things have certainly improved since the D70. The image was shot in shutter priority mode at 1/30s. The aperture chosen by the camera is f/22, which simply reveals such dust spots, that remain mostly unnoticed otherwise (I usually shoot in the range up to f/9 only and have no issues here). The camera has more than 43.000 actuations now and the sensor has never been cleaned so far. Try that with a D70... or D3x... or M9 <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Cloning out shouldn't be a problem. -- Markus Another one bites the dust - mst - 02-05-2012 [quote name='joachim' timestamp='1328428203' post='15489'] Why does anyone buy one in that case? This is a total disaster. [/quote] Well, it's not a total disaster, IMO. Using the D3x requires a little more discipline regarding regular cleaning (just as with any other DSLR in the years before). It is, however, certainly annoying, yes. Anyone with F mount lenses who actually needs the high resolution of 24 MP has no other choice than the D3x (at least for a few more days, it seems). A wedding pro would most likely prefer to use a D3s, though, because of the much better high ISO performance. -- Markus Another one bites the dust - anyscreenamewilldo - 02-05-2012 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1328428676' post='15491'] Well, it's not a total disaster, IMO.
