Nikon D600

Hi, I have a nikon D40. It has around 30k shutter count. I have been using it for 4 years. I have a 35mm f1.8 DX, 50mm f1.4 AI-S and a Vivitar Series-1 70-210mm f3.5. I normally shoot in manual mode. I installed a microprism split screen  to my D40. Everything is okay except the low light performance. I practiced macro (reverse lens) and night photography and in the end I'm not very happy with the resulting images.  I want to upgrade to get: Better low light performance Higher resolution...

Hi, I am going to buy Full Frame DSLR and narrowed my decision down to two models: Either Nikon D600 or Canon EOS 6D.  These are my findings both camera models which features are very important to me : D600 Positive:+ Better Autofocus than 6D (39 autofocus points)+ Built in flash+ AF assist light D600 Negative:- Kit Lens quality (compared to Canon EF 24-105mm F4 / same price range as D600 with 24-85mm kit lens))- Canon 6D feels better in my hand These would be the point I would go for...

Hi users I need your help! The question is: what would you choose and why if you were starting afresh? I'm in the rare position of restarting my equipment collection from scratch after losing everything in one go. :-( By habit I'm a Nikon user but looking to restart collection thanks to insurance and before I plunge back in again I'm taking a moment considering switching to the Canon pool.  The final shortlist for body and principal lens is: 1) Nikon D600 + Nikkor AF-S 24-120mm f/4G VR 2)...

Evening All, Recently I purchased a Nikkor 20MM F/2.8D anticipating that I would be able to use the aperture ring on the lens. However the only configuration the camera will allow me to shoot in is while the lens is locked at F22. I wanted to use this lens to manually control the aperture rings for more consistent daylight time-lapse. I have tried using all manual modes, manual focus, etc. with no luck. Anytime move the aperture ring the camera reports an "fEE" error. Am I misunderstanding...

Hi, I recently bought a D600, and i am using Capture NX2 version 2.4.1 on an iMac on OS 10.7.5. I could not get images from  my D600 to open in CNX2. I corrected this by updating to version 2.4.1.  I can now open my NEF images, but after editing, and wanting to save the image, CNX2 gives me a dialog box stating " CNX2 cannot save file"  I called Nikon about this after reading various things online.  Nikon suggested to start at version 2.3.0 and then upgrade to 2.4.1.   I started by...

Background: Recently moved to 70-200 f4 VR with TC 2.0III, as I just have found 2.8 lenses too heavy for long hand held walking/ hiking & shooting. At f5.6 with 2.8 lenses the focus was great with D800E. Traded my backup D7000 in for a D7100 knowing that the D7100 will focus on center focus point at f8. However,  I have found in initial shooting in outdoors & bright Spring light that the focus is not as fast as I would have expected. Please note that this is a rather specific series of...

Last night I was walking in the park and I took this picture.  To my horror I noticed these spots which are not all in the same "spot" in every picture.  They can't be sensor dust but can't tell what they are...Guessing it's the reflection back into the camera of the lens/filter dust? Anyone has any ideas? Nikon D600, Tamron 18-270, f/9, 1/8 sec. --Alex Spots in night pictures !

Hi all! Finally I've decided to buy the D600, I hope "It's the beginning of a beautiful friendship" :-) And I bought a Tokina 16-28mm lens with it for landscaping. I did some test shots at F2.8, F4.5 and F8. At F2.8 the corners are quite blurry and it's a bit strange to me. I've posted this question in the Third party lens talk as well, the photos can be viewed on this link: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51347632?image=2 So my question is that is this normal or it has decentering issues...

Hi! I've just bought a Nikon D600 with a Tokina 16-28mm. I did a few test shots at F2.8, F4.5 and F8. The corners at F2.8 are quite blurry. At F8 the corners are much sharper and I don't know if this blurriness s normal for this lens at F2.8 or it has any issues. Decentered elements or something. If anyone who knows this lens more as any opinion it would be really helpful for me. Thanks, Barney  F2.8  F4.5  F8

Hello fellow photographers After a lot of consideration, I finally bought a D600 last week. Of course, it's an awesome camera, and I'm very happy with it. However: I was aware of the dust/oil issue but I just thought to myself, it will not be something I can't overcome :) Now, I have made some shots, and I noticed especially with dusk/night shots there are quite some green/white spots in the picture! Luckily, they are only really apparent when you fully zoom in to 100% ...but still.......
