Nikon D750 Shutter issue goes beyond previous estimates

From dust on the sensor to oil spots , Nikon's entry level Full frame cameras seem to be jinxed in one way or another . The D600 , which stirred up controversy back in 2012 was probably one of the more recent production line issues on a camera to date , the D600, which was hastily replaced by the D610 was also affected to some degree with a mechanical issue where oil was squirted onto the sensor - which was mostly an inconvenience rather than a serious issue. Nevertheless , Nikon did send these units out to repair and in turn announced the Nikon D750 - a serious FX camera suited for wedding and Nikon video shooters , the camera , which was named as one of the best selling DSLR's last year however has not managed to escape the Nikon production line woes as it is now under recall due to a shutter issue .

The extent of the issue is still not known , but so far Nikon has advised that all cameras produced from July - September 2014 and models from July 2015 to September 2016 could also be affected , this means that the chance of your camera being affected is pretty high unless it was produced in a later batch (no reports from post - September 2016 batches yet) . The issue , which is reported to have been addressed first on the 9th of July 2017has now expanded to add the above mentioned production years .You can also search if your camera is affected by this recall by typing the serial number here Link to U.S repairs .

So what is this issue about , well for starters , the flare issue (internal reflection issue has around but wasn't a major concern (Nikon did recall the model though) , but now the issue is with the shutter as it creates shading in images .This is a serious issue as black bars while in use indicate that serious production issues exist with the company responsible for the mechanism . Currently all models sold will be covered but if you purchased your model from a cheap Grey market dealer , it will basically be a game of Russian roulette if your model has an issue . So if you are a potential buyer (I'm a Nikon user myself and I was to buy one myself this August ) its advisable to bite the bullet and buy the D810 when prices go down (or a D500 if you don't mind the crop) or wait till the smoke clears to see what happens next (who knows, Nikon might launch a new camera too).

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
