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

By and large the Nikon D600 was warmly welcomed when it was announced in September 2012. It was designed to be the natural progression for DX format users wanting to dip their toes into FX (full-frame) photography and, as well as having a control layout that sits comfortably within Nikon's...

The Nikon D600 scored highly (84%) when we tested it last year (AP 13 October 2012), and I've been a big fan of it. However, the problem was that after around 3,000 shots some users started to experience dust/oil spots appearing in the upper-left portion of the frame.

This is an excellent camera, arguably offering more bang-for-your-buck than any other full-frame DSLR. It doesn't have the image resolution of the D800, but it has more manageable file sizes, a faster shooting speed and two custom user modes.

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...

This 24 megapixel full frame DSLR has a couple of improvements on the D600 released last year. Burst mode speed is increased from 5.5 to 6 frames per second; auto white balance has been tweaked and a Quiet Shutter Continuous mode (which is not all that quiet) has been added.

Nikon has a rich history in producing ultimate cameras that defined photography of the era. Its entry in the full-frame sensor camera market has been late but very fulfilling. Nikon full frame sensor cameras use the same f-mount, a legacy that the company has been proud of using in every camera they...

Brilliant image quality; Fast controls; Weather proof; Backlit control panel screen; Dual memory slots

Low highest ISO; Heavy

I purchased this product with the interest of entering photography, I was very much a beginner, since purchasing this camera I have learnt so much and grown so much as a photographer. It was definitely worth the money.
