Is there any tool within Lightroom that can do this?[/quote]
There's the spot removal tool and the adjustment brush tool, but they are not efficient in this role.
I would first try to recover the photos with recovery software. There's tons out there, just Google file recovery software. Then I would format the card IN THE CAMERA a couple of times. Check it with some test shots to see if it acts up. Also make sure you don't have a photo protect/lock function on your camera that would prevent viewing.Bottom line is I would have another card handy if this one acts up.

My D600 has over 6000 images taken, I did have some spots during the early days on a few images, the problem has not recurred. I have one of the early ones, maybe from the first batch into India.
It's a great camera and it makes a handy companion to my D7000, love them both.
I am sorry to see several users facing the dirt problem, I believe it should clear after a couple of clean ups and some use. Wish you the best and good shooting.
Not acceptable, but not a fatal flaw re oil/dust either. The majority of the spots appear at f11+ and some have seen the problem completely resolved after wet cleaning around 3K actuations. Hadn't heard anything about the screws until I read these posts. I'm going to wait until the ser.#s get up there before I buy and they include any firmware updates. Even with these issues the D600 is getting rave reviews.

While this pisses me off to no end, I have neither the money nor the energy to fight it. I think I'll just stick to the drag strips where they ask me to take photos. Thank you everyone for your input.
I hear you. A couple of things come to mind.
Start a blog,any blog. Call it My Town & Yours.com or something like that. This is so your recreational pursuit has a purpose--a 1st Amendment purpose. Next visit/call the nearest ACLU office and let them know about the situation (you may want to keep a log). Next stop should be your county's state's attorney and let them know what's going on. State's Attorneys don't like to waste time with BS arrests the police saddle them with.
You might want to write a letter to Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and Attorney General Lisa Madigan and copy your State Representative and State Senator. The state's attorney's report to the Governor and the AG is an activist with full support of her father House Speaker Michael J. Madigan.
And finally, write a letter to the Illinois Arts Council. They make state grants to photographers and wouldn't look kindly on harassment of same. The IAC don't have enforcement powers, but they are influential. IAC's Executive Director is Tatiana Gant and the Chairwoman is Shirley R. Madigan who is, you guessed it, wife of the House Speaker.
All the addresses are available at www.illinois.gov. Good luck!

Saw this post some months ago, and while I am not a wedding photographer, it rang true to me. It will give you a sense of what you need to aspire to.

It also echoes the advice you've been receiving from others on this post. Also if your camera was bought new it should have Cannon software included that will read its RAW files. If your computer can't handle that software...well, it's time for a new one. I believe that your level of experience is going to require you to shoot RAW so you can extensively adjust photo settings in post processing.

I have research this and can not get it to work. Any body with a nikon D300s how do you turn on the over exposure "blinkie" Everything I have read say to go to the play mode and click the up/down thumbpad. Does not work, do I have one of the menus set wrong.

I currently have a Nikon D3100 with the 18-55mm lens and have bought an additional 55-300mm lens to use as my main walk-around lens. But now find myself house/bed bound for approx. the next 6 weeks having undergone a vein bypass operation last week. And like many of those who can't get out and do to much physically, find myself contemplating replacing my current gear and getting a used Full Frame camera. Like an older Canon 1D Mk II or III but not knowing much about FF bodies or Canons in general. I was just wondering what the overall thought on doing something like this would be.

Since you already have Nikon equipment and are familiar with it wait for the new Nikon D600, It is supposed to be full frame and be competitively priced.

Agree with your thoughts. It's supposed to be out by September and priced between $1500 and $2000. It's rumored to be D7000 size/weight.

Going to New England in September for foliage. Currently have Nikon 18-55 lens kit and Tamron 70-300 lens on my D3200. Thinking about a more diverse 'walk-around' lens, something with more range but not as heavy at the Tamron. Looked at Nikon 16-105. Have read reviews on lots of options but want opinions from folks in the field. Any recommendations, pros/cons, does/don'ts will be welcomed.
I've had excellent results with the Nikon 18-200, but you may have a more compact lens in mind. If your body has a focus motor (D-80/D90/D7000 and up) the Nikon 28-105 is good and has a micro feature as well. Obviously the 28-105 doesn't have the same range as the 18-200 or VR, but it's a lens I have experience with, performs well and is economical (you can get good examples for <$150 at KEH). It's also FF if you ever decide to go that route. Have a great trip!

#3 looks pretty good to me. Talk about handheld!

No. But before light meters were readily available at a reasonable price one looked at the material that came with the film. That material was in essence a manual on how to use the film.
So people could save $10 by visiting the site instead of buying film. A photo and money saver in one!

Betcha walked 5 miles to photography school too, both ways uphill!

Gee he just wrote down what a meter does and you can use the meter and not have to memorize or carry around the article in order to take a picture. Also, you can find an old box of 35 mm film and inside it is a a brief set of instructions on how to set up your camera to take a shot at the given ASA or as the newbies call it ISO!
Then you don't need the link.
