Nikon D600

fantastic in every way.

The only drawback I found is that the autofocus area is in fact that of the D7000 and therefore it is a bit small and concentrates only on the centre area of the sensor. There has been some complaints about traces of dust and oil too on forums, but I tend to have fewer problems than with my former D7000. A dust blower once in a while works wonders. No more action is needed. Anyway, I try and focus on fstops 2 levels above max limit so that you maximise bokeh and DOF and sharpness. I'd say the ...

The files you get out of the d600 are the best you can get from a 35mm DSLR.  It has plenty of resolution for huge prints, has DR unimaginable a few years ago, has incredible ISO performance.  There has been much made of the dust/oil issue.  In my experience, the problem abates after a short while, while the ability to clean a sensor is something that every DSLR owner should know how to do anyway.   The combination of low price, great IQ, rugged yet light-weight build, and good AF ...

i have been using D600 for over 3 months now!!! i upgraded from D5100 and let me tell you the difference is immediately noted in the handling department!!! D600 is so light and has most of the controls very well laid out making it easy to use. The IQ of D600 is mind blowing!! 24 MP and a class leading sensor surely shows in RAW mode which is what i shoot msot of the time. everything about thsi camera seems to me superfine!!! the oil dust issue is surely present but it was a no brainer for me. ...

After spending ages writing a review of this camera, DPReview crashed and it was lost to the ether.  Anyway, I will now write what I originally wrote in less words ! Compared to my Nikon D300 - it's lighter, a bit smaller, plasticky but solid, grip not as limpet-like. Things bad:  reversal of + and - zoom buttons, grip can get uncomfortable - prefer larger. Things good:  IQ amazing, big bright viewfinder, lighter. Things that are even more amazinger (!) : behaviour of pro glass on a 24.3 ...

The D600 is the best bang for the buck in so many ways (yes I bought it during the free lens deal).  Nikon cheapened the AF system and it does produce a lot of dust (nothing that I'm not used to cleaning); but overall I'm very happy with the landscape shoots that I can capture with this great tool.

Hello! Today was a very exciting day for me because I finally got my Nikon D600 in the mail after a long and grusome 2 day wait! (ok not really a long wait at all)... The camera feels about the same in the hand as the d90, neither is better or worse to me, just a slightly different feel. Do take note that I have sort of small hands so I never really have a problem with rips on any camera that is of any decent size. My first smiling moment was the viewfinder, so much better! Now I can see why ...

The good: (1) Outstandingly good image quality, especially using a RAW converter. (2) AF in non lowlight conditions is outstanding- very fast and accurate.  Tracking is excellent. (3) Camera operation is very responsive, and gives an impression of low lag.

I have been using D600 for about two and half month and have shot about 5000 images. I thought I should share some of my thoughts and experience of this camera with everyone. I will not discuss Image Quality in any depth. Long story short - D600's IQ lives up to its reputation, it is that good. For specs and technical information and test image comparison, I assume readers would read DPR and DXO's reviews. My review is divided into two halves, first half will focus on a few specific points ...

This is not one of Nikon's best cameras even though the reviews are stellar and there are some VERY nice images being produced with it. I knew what I was getting into concerning dust and oil. Within 300 photos I experienced very large dust and it was easy to clean with air. I got up to about 1500 images with no oil 303xxxx serial. The 305xxxx seem to be the least likely to have the oil issue. Overall the D600 didn't feel like a major upgrade from the D300S. I thought I wanted a lighter ...
