Having owned numerous Nikon DSLRs this is without doubt the best camera produced so far for the semi pro photographer, pro graphic artist or serious amateur market.

Outstanding stills with lush "analog" feel; Excellent low-light shooting; As sophisticated; flexible as you want it to be

Even "affordable" full-frame cameras are still very expensive; Heavy; bulky; Delivers quality movies but not the finest available

There appears to be a move towards increasing the number of camera models with full frame (ie 24x36mm) sensors. Sony, for one, has even released a fixed mirror DSLR model with a full frame sensor.

Getting closer to the mainstream 35mm SLR, Nikon's D600 carries a lower price than any full-frame predecessor, and delivers the high image quality you'd expect from a Nikon full-frame camera. With an interface more like the D7000 than the D300, the D600 is tuned for the enthusiast photographer.

[...]This is an awesome camera, got mine a few days ago and cant be more impressed. When taking into consideration the intended customer and the price point, there isn't a better camera on the market today, so if this camera meets your needs, buy one without reservation. [...

I loved this camera. Got it in early November and instantly fell in love. This was my first Nikon camera. I have used Sony previously. Ergonomics of D600 is very good and I experienced very little friction in learning the controls and ways of this camera.

11 fps? It's not a D4 or a D800E; check the cost

The Nikon D600 is a really good camera for the money, as long as you're willing to shell out for the lenses that can do it justice.
