Don't be hard on yourself ARB1. A Nikon is a great compromise for people that can't afford a Canon. :)
-
I owned an X-100 for just over a year before I sold it. Build quality is excellent. Lens quality is too - as long as your subject is more than a metre away, and you don't want to focus quickly....
-
Nicely lit, nicely composed photos that were quite clearly taken on rubbish gear. People have been trumpeting this concept since the "it's possible to take great pictures with a pinhole camera"...
-
Can I ask how you know this? If true, it would mandate urgent replacement of those pins or even the entire shutter mechanism I would've thought.
-
A quality control issue is one where components fail due to more units being produced than the production line can cope with. This is different. It's a design issue. The D600 camera was obviously...
-
Yet Canon don't seem to have the same issue. The two recent design issues they've encountered (hand grip on 650D and light leak on 5DMkIII) were quickly acknowledged, and fixed.
-
Finally someone with the right "can-do" attitude. In keeping with the "breaking in a car" analogy, it would also make sense to only use slow shutter speeds - slower that 1/100 sec or so - for the...
-
This doesn't really look like a quality control issue though. Quality control is more about the occasional dead pixel, loose circuit, dud flash etc. etc. What is happening here seems to be an...

Don't switch. I've just been through the same process, nearly traded my Canon L series lenses and bought a D600. Instead I bought a 5DMkIII. Never been happier with Canon as a brand.

1.So you are saying that if Nikon offered NASA a hundred billion dollars to take a competent, but potentially unreliable camera (like the D600) into outer space, they wouldn't do so - correct? 2....

Absolutely true Mark, and if sh*t does happen, particularly if you're a company like Nikon, you should acknowledge it and fix it. Trivialising or ignoring the issue will only serve to alienate...

Sorry Nikon boys - the fact that Nikon were "chosen by NASA to go to outer space" really should not have any relevance to anyone here. Firstly, it was almost certainly nothing to do with camera...
-
And the light leak was a misnomer. It was only relevant when shooting literally in the dark, and anyway, has long since been rectified. To Canon's credit, it was also quickly acknowledged.
-
Well really, the D600 itself should've been released in the first quarter of 2013. It's apparent that a few more months of pre-release testing were in order here, that had it happened, would've...
-
It's about more than just the odd spot. A greasy film over the sensor will reduce overall resolution, contrast and clarity too.
-
Two things need to happen to make this right. 1. Nikon needs to acknowledge the problem, and look after its existing customers. By all accounts this isn't happening (yet). 2. DP review - the...
-
Actually I think they can. I've spent more time than is healthy over the last six months examining the relative merits of each brand, as I was upgrading and evaluating whether to switch. I opted...
-
I agree. My "travel" lens is a 24-105 f4 L series Canon - which is the lens I use most of the time anyway. That said, the quality of the Sigma seems pretty impressive - and I'm sure will find wide...
-
You'd basically be crazy to buy one now. That said, I did have a very enjoyable day testing one, and came away thinking that the autofocus was the camera's only achilles heel in an otherwise...
