Nikon D600 review

Full-frame, as it's often described, is the pinnacle of DSLR photography as it offers a large- frame sensor the same size as that used by traditional 35mm film. The Nikon D600, the little brother of the D800 , offers this FX format which, as Nikon likes to call it, is a sensor size at a snip of the...
Pros:
  • Excellent image quality
  • small and light for a full-frame camera
  • weather-sealed
  • most affordable full-frame DSLR to date
Cons:
  • Limited AF point coverage (it's too centralised)
  • don't like mode dial lock
  • limited movie controls compared to D800
  • don't think image quality is better than D800 (despite lower resolution)
  • no live aperture control in movie mode

Nikon and Canon have recently squared off against each other in a new segment of the digital SLR camera market that they've carved out, both bringing out their cheapest, smallest, lightest, simplest full-frame DSLRs.
Pros:
  • Excellent image quality
  • Near-perfect compromise between ease of use and functionality
  • Impressively low price tag
Cons:
  • Inferior in some ways to Canon's competing 6D
  • Some artificial impediments versus the D800
  • Minor design niggles

Nikon D600 Review: Images This Spectacular Have Never Been So Cheap

Earlier this year, we fell in love with the Nikon D800 . How could you not? It's a 36.6-megapixel hulk of a professional camera. But not everyone has $3500 to spend on a camera. The Nikon D600 sounds like an ideal compromise: the camera you can still afford with many of the professional specs you...

Nikon D600

Some of the D800's best extras carry over to the cheaper D600: One feature the D600 gets that the D800 doesn't: It's compatible with a $60 Wi-Fi adapter that lets you wirelessly send images to your iPhone, iPad or Android device, or use your device as a remote control to snap a photo.
Pros:
  • Full-frame sensor for less
  • Beautifully detailed images
  • Great features and usability
Cons:
  • Pricier pro cameras outshine its autofocus
  • dynamic range
  • Partly plastic body

Semi-pro

The much-anticipated Nikon D600 ($2100) is a new prosumer DSLR that provides a similar, albeit slightly watered-down set of specs compared to the lauded D800 for roughly a grand less, while also undercutting the competition from Canon and Sony .

Nikon D600 review by 3cameradog

As Thom Hogan said, "A D3X in a D7000 body at 1/3 the price." I was compelled to buy it. It is what I have been waiting for ever since Kodak marketed the 12 megapixel 14n crammed into a Nikon N80 for $5000. I could not, not buy it. I could care less about live view or movies.
Pros:
  • Full frame digital at a reasonable price
Cons:
  • None so far

[REVIEW-NIKON D600 DSLR]

With this 24 megapixel DSLR Nikon lowers the price of entry into the full frame DSLR category. With the same processing engine as the D800/D4 cameras and the same ability to record uncompressed video you get a lot of camera for the money.
