I simply don't believe you that your D40 never had any spots after 5 years. My D200, which was never known to have dust issues needed periodic cleanings, especially if shooting in dusty...

Updated mine last night, it could not have gone smoother. The auto-focus "seems" to pop into focus a little quicker and the focus touch-up is less evident. I tried 5 different lenses, two AF-S and...

The D600 with the 85mm f1.8G. Still think you need a f1.2??? Shot RAW, but straight from the camera. My 2 year old granddaughter, just up from her nap.

Thank you for the comment! She is our pride and joy, and was eating a strawberry at the time. Mark

The sale price on the 85mm f1.8G was too good to pass up, and on the D600 produces spectacular results. Shot this of my 2 year old granddaughter the other day. BTW, I had to wet clean about 3 spots...

she might want something on the very wide end also.

I picked up a D600 the second day it was out from a local shop. The dust issue came to light when I had about 1K clicks and when I looked found 3-4 spots in the upper left. I bought Sensor Swipes...

the Tokina AT-X pro 28-80mm f2.8. I bought one 10 years ago and liked it a lot on my F100, but it was always soft on my D200, it back-focused too much. On the D600, with fine tune set to +15, it...

Not really a great photo, just a balloon memorial for my neighbor's daughter who was hit by a SUV one year earlier. The extra DR can come in very handy. Shot at ISO 160, Tokina AT-X 28-80 f2.8 at...

Agreed, the noise floor is changing, but the net effect is that the total tonal range at ISO 100 is 4.4 times greater. There exists information that otherwise would be lost in noise. One could...

The base ISO DR advantage for the D600 is 2.13 stops or 4.377 times as much light. Anyone who thinks that this is not very significant is fooling themselves. At ISO 400 the D600 still has a 0.87...

I'm not sure 2 stops of dynamic range is a "slight" advantage.

however, the D200 has a much better UI and is faster to operate. Don't like the ISO button position, although with the latching function enabled (easy ISO???), it is much better. Really miss the...

The basic sensor pitch is about 6uM. The max resolution at Nyquist would be about 12uM, assuming a perfect anti-aliasing filter. So in theory, the D600 has a resolution somewhere about 12-13 uM for...

From the translation:The difference in brightness between the images 6D Canon and Nikon D600 gives know that in 6D ISO values do not coincide with the ISO value in Nikon D600. Very obviously, the...

It states that ISO's did not match. They estimated that ISO 200 on the D600 was about 160 or less on the 6D.

Not entirely true. This is only a problem with the "G" lenses. Any lens with a manual aperture ring will allow this. There are only about 50 million such lenses in existence. The rumor is that a...
