Nikon's new D600 offers an appealing upgrade path for consumer users. We put it to the test to find out just how good this full-frame, entry-level model really is. Read the Nikon D600 review...

Prior to the release of the Nikon D600 ($2,099.95 direct, body only), full-frame cameras were marketed squarely at pro shooters. Well-heeled enthusiasts might put hard-earned dollars towards a D800 , Canon EOS 5D Mark III , or even a Nikon D4 , but those cameras are packed with features that...

No GPS, Wi-Fi, or PC Sync socket; Compressed control layout; Must initiate autofocus manually during video recording

Parts of this article discuss video capability of the D600 and uses terms inherent and understood by

Decent feature set; good value; clean HDMI video out; excellent image quality

Focus point area too small; hobbled exposure bracketing; no live histogram; shrunken HDMI output

I also own a D700 and overall, the at high ISO are better on the D600 which is good (sharper and less noisy at hight iso like 6400). On the other hand, I got difficulty controlling the exposure. Somehow the camera seems to slightly overexpose when compared to D700.

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.

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

Love the full frame capability of this camera. You get what you see. I have found that it is 100% frame coverage in every shot I have taken. No more crop factor as long as you are not using DX lenses. Impressed with the noise levels at high ISO. 6400 is just as clean as ISO 800 on this camera.

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.

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.

There's a lot to like in the Nikon D600 ; including a great set of shooting features; comfortable and intelligent design; and excellent photo quality and performance

Photos display some unrecoverable clipping in the highlights that you don't expect in a camera of its caliber

Nikon D600 24.3MP SLR (Black) (Body Only) is available at Snapdeal at discounted price. If you have seen this SLR online then you must get it online especially if you have shortage of funds. Snapdeal is a popular and known as a good online store and you can buy it just like me.

Easy To Use; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; High ISO Performance

Noisy At High ISO; Poor Image Quality

Expect no less from Nikon DSLR especially a under 2000 dollar full frame! overall I would keep this camera with me forever. no intention of selling it or whatsoever. one flaw i must have to point out is the oil spot on sensor! after around 500 shots you will notice.
