It is hard to describe the D600 without superlatives. This 24 megapixels full-frame DSLR simply delivers the lowest image-noise and highest dynamic-range from any digital camera to date. Add to that the lowest street price of any current full-frame camera and we have an easy winner.

Class-leading image noise; Class-leading dynamic-range; Good color-accuracy after tweaking; Speedy autofocus; Generally fast and responsive; Ultra-short black-out; Flexible self-timer and exposure delay; Very sharp LCD; Highly customizable with plenty of controls; Dual memory cards can provide

Under-exposure more frequent than usual; Light entering OVF skews metering; Increased softness at ISO 3200; Strong anti-alias filter; EC button placement not ideal; Indistinct ISO button; Poor Live-view; not; Bizarre; Exposure Delay; No 16:9 guidelines for time-lapse; Slow playback mode; Only one

The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money.

I was happy with Brandon, He was amazing to do business with. He was knowledgable and took his time explaining things before I decided which camera to go with. My order came when he said it would and it was all packed properly. I will defineately order products from Abt again.

Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; High ISO Performance; Large Clear LCD; Quiet; Tilt /Swivel LCD

I've owned and shot Nikon's D100, D200, D300, D700, and the D4 (my current work camera) as well as numerous point and shoots and even a mirrorless 4/3rds camera over the last 10 years, so yes, I am biased towards full frame sensors.

Excellent image quality and high ISO performance; Very wide ISO range; Excellent video quality; Light-weight, robust body, weather sealing, lower profile than D800 or D4; Generic scene modes, and programmable U1 and U2 settings; Ittl control for on camera and off-camera Nikon speedlights.

No aperture control in video/live view; new zoom in/out button position makes them feel like they're reversed compared to the D4; 39 point vs 51 point af sensor; max 1/4000th shutter speed; no 10-pin remote terminal but MCDC2 port provides same function with different cable; and dust issues early on

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...

Excellent image quality; small and light for a full-frame camera; weather-sealed; most affordable full-frame DSLR to date

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

The Nikon D600 is a new full-frame 24.3 megapixel camera with full HD video recording and a weather sealed body. The camera shoots at 5.5fps, features ISO50 to ISO25600, and a large 3.2 inch screen on  the back.

Printed manual; Excellent image quality; Excellent noise performance; Auto shutter speed control for auto ISO; Wide-strap; 2 year warranty; Compact full-frame body; Headphone / Microphone socket; Quiet shutter mode / Mup function

Price very close to higher spec D800; White balance performance could be better

The D800's little bro packs most of the same awesomeness, but with a more manageable number of megapixels and a more palatable price. On paper there's a ton of power per pound, with that 24.3MP full-frame sensor, a built-in flash, dual SD card slots, 39-point autofocus, 5.5fps continuous shooting...

"The times, they are a-changin'…" A year ago if you were a Nikon shooter in need of a full-frame camera with more than twelve megapixels, your only option - other than switching over to Canon - was to buy, hire or steal a $7,000 / £5,000 Nikon D3X.

A breakthrough price for a full-frame SLR, but you'd never guess from the features, performance or quality

The D600 isn't perfect, and perhaps this is because it's a blend of so much from two distinctly different camera markets - pro and enthusiast. Certain elements of the camera feel clunky, but then you're dazzled by the blistering performance elsewhere.
