As I have pointed out in the beginning of this review, the Nikon D610 is what the D600 should have been when it was initially launched. Without fully acknowledging the dust issue on the D600, Nikon released the D610 as if it was a whole different camera.

The Nikon D610 follows relatively quickly on from its predecessor, the Nikon D600, with good reason. Despite the Nikon D600 being the most affordable full-frame DSLR of all time on launch, it has its flaws, the most noticeable of which was that after a certain number of shutter actuations – around...

First-class handling; Great performance from the sensor; Impressive AF performance

No native Wi-Fi; Too closely-grouped AF points

If you scour the internet you will find a series of complaints about some Nikon D600 owners experiencing issues with oil on the camera's sensor. It's not an issue we had with our camera, but the sudden arrival of the D610, with only a modest bump in features, suggests that it's a solution to brush...

Excellent image quality; small and light for a full-frame camera; weather-sealed; fair price for full-frame DSLR body

AF point coverage is too centralised; little is new compared to D600; default JPEG processing can be a touch harsh

Features Handling Performance Verdict Specification The Nikon D610 is this years update to the Nikon D600 , shooting at 6fps, which is quicker than the 5.5fps of the D600, and features the same 24.3 megapixel full-frame sensor, full HD video recording, ISO50 to ISO25600, a large 3.2 inch screen, and...

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; Slightly improved continuous shooting speed; Printed manual

Price close to higher spec D800; AWB could be better under tungsten light; Competitors are cheaper

The Nikon D610 is a full-frame digital SLR camera featuring a 24.3-megapixel FX format sensor, 39-point AF system, 14-bit analogue-to-digital conversion and a glass prism optical viewfinder with 100% frame coverage. The new D610 is identical to the previous D600 model apart from three new features.

Reviewing the D610 is a challenge because it's essentially the same as the D600 with only a handful of improvements. Nikon introduced a new shutter mechanism with the D610 and with it came a slight boost in continuous shooting speed - 5.5 fps to 6 fps - and a new Quiet Continuous mode.

Outstanding high ISO performance in both JPEG and Raw files; High quality JPEG images at default settings; Wide dynamic range in Raw files; Consistently pleasing metering and white balance results; Solid build quality and weather-sealing; Responsive camera when adjusting settings and handling; Dual...

Small coverage area of AF array compared to its peers; Slow AF in live view and video modes; Rear LCD prone to glare in bright sunlight; No 'live' aperture control in live view or video mode; No histogram in live view; When shooting in live view; rear screen is blacked out until data is written to...

Nikon's D610 comes only 13 months after the D600 was launched and provides only three updated features: improved auto white balance, an upgraded shutter mechanism that boosts the continuous frame rate to six frames/second (vs 5.5 fps on the D600) and a new Quiet Continuous mode which shoots more...

The Nikon D610 offers the same professional image quality that you'd find in a camera many times its price. For that reason alone, it's an excellent choice for those who need professional-quality images, but aren't quite ready to splurge on the more expensive options out there.

A good price puts professional image quality in reach for budget-conscious shooters

Battery life is below average

Item received working probably but original packing was not in a good condition I believe due to Shipping. Also no international warranty card is included in the box.

Every thing is Good

No warranty card included

Great camera, with lots of good features. Gave 4 star as it doesn't come with inbuilt wifi and it has multiple focus point, which can cause problem.

Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Large Clear LCD; Quiet
