More Thoughts After 5 Days With The D600

After 5 days shooting with this camera I remain very impressed with the image quality and handling of the D600.  The colors are very nice, a little pop but not overly-saturated.  Excellent sharpness and detail...Nikon did a fine job of doubling the pixel count from the D3/D700 on the same size sensor with no loss of image quality.

A nice little surprise is that although it seems like I can't shoot uncompressed RAW with the D600, the lossless compressed RAW format is very economical on disk space.  Uncompressed RAW files from the D3/D700 were eating up around 18-20 megabytes each where so far, I see the lossless compressed files from the D600 to be around 21-24 megabytes each.  NX2 v 2.3.5 seems to handle them pretty quickly.  This is good because I love shooting RAW.

I have been very pleasantly surprised as to how sharp even some of my older glass is with the D600.  The 28-105 is especially sharp.  I haven't had the opportunity to shoot with too many other lenses with the D600 yet, but I am happy with the sharpness and how the AF speed of the D600 is still very fast and accurate with this older  lens.

I am really liking what Nikon has done with D600 so far...
