Nikon told me wet cleaning the sensor myself would void the warranty when I had the same issue with the D7000, so I had to send it in to them for cleaning. I've done it myself on older cameras like the D70 when that got filled with dust after motorboat or helicopter shoots. Never had an issue with the D200 or D300 especially when changing lenses in a clean wind-less room with the body pointed downwards. So you're saying a camera shipping with spots on the sensor is normal these days?
Yeah, the AF fine tuning didn't seem to work even at -20 with my D7000 that also has this problem, so I figured it was the same issue. Tested a D800 which also had focus problems and a D300s which was perfect, so I think I'll just go back to a D300s for now... while I send the D7000 in for repair on its focus problem. I need to have at least one body that works while the other is being repaired.

I'm in a dirty air city eventually the grime sticks. When 2-3 sensor shake's can't knock it off. Wet clean time! And as far as Voiding warranty. Unless you bear down as hard as you can to scratch the sensor. No proper liquid will ever leave any residue or trace of its use. Heck even 3rd party lenses will "void your warranty". And plenty of people use those.
