Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

For a part-time photographer, I use this camera a few times a week. So far, it has been a perfect upgrade from my old D60.

Amazing images.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

I'm a professional photographer who was looking to upgrade my secondary camera, specifically something lighter than my D3 to use for weddings. I went with the D600 and have used it for the past few weeks. It seems great... but there are a few drawbacks that I wish weren't there.

1. The battery is different/smaller from my D3, which is to be expected if I wanted a lighter camera.
2. The memory card is not the same as the D3, which is a HUGE negative, in my opinion. If the D600 is supposed to be a professional camera, I wish it took the flash card like my other professional camera. Keeping track of two different batteries, two different battery chargers, two different kinds of memory cards... it's not convenient.
3. I will have to upgrade my Lightroom software and my Photoshop software to edit the RAW images.

I have yet to edit the images from the past two weeks, but the camera seems to work wonderfully. If I can get past the totally different size memory card that this camera requires, I could end up loving this camera. I needed to upgrade my software anyway...

THANK YOU to B&H for sending me the right size memory card with my order... without you I would have had a major problem!

I use this primarily for landscape and other "nature" photography. With 24mp it provides amazing image quality and lets me make tack-sharp prints up to 24 x 40 (limited by my printer) even from cropped images. As always with Nikon, well designed and laid-out controls, comfortable grip. I chose this over the D800 because of lower price and lighter weight.

I am a videographer with two JVC HD video cameras. While the process is very different, I am pleased at the quality.

My first camera was D3000. I upgrade to D600. This is very big jump for me :-) . This camera is perfect, excellent. I use with Sigma 24-70/f2.8.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

I bought the D600 in December just prior to Christmas. I was by very happy with the pictures taken with the camera. Took many pictures of gymnastics in gyms with very poor lighting. Even with ISO as high as 6400, I was very impressed with the photos taken by the D600.

Then I went on vacation and took many landscape photos with aperatures at f10 and above, that's when the oil spots really became noticeable. Some pictures that included a lot of sky and clouds had spots littering the upper left third of the frame. Shortly after returning home, Nikon officially acknowledged that the D600 had some sensor spot issues. I contacted Nikon, sent the camera to them to fix the problem. After being promised to have my camera back in 6-10 days, it was finally returned to me 5 weeks later.

The first thing I did was take a picture @ f/22 of a white poster board, pleased to see no spots, problem solved right? Not quite! About a week and 250 shutter releases later I took another landscape with sky in it @ f/16 , more spots in upper left third of the frame. Another picture of the white poster board showed new sensor spots since the Nikon service!!!

After a few angry conversations with Nikon customer service, my D600 is on it's way back to Nikon, with pictures of the new sensor spots. I will write a conclusion to this story when I hear back from Nikon

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

This is the best of my four Nikon DSLRs, and my first full framer. It has solid build quality and takes fantastic photos. Low light capabilities are wonderful. The feel is great in your hand. However, be aware that the reported instances of D600s coming out with oil drops on the sensor are correct. My first one from B&H was like that, but B&H provided its usual good service and replaced it very quickly with another one that was fine. Nikon has had a real slipup here in its quality control. If you get one, check it out immediately.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

So far, so good. I have had the camera for about a month with no incidence of oil/dirt on the sensor (yet). This is my first experience with B&H, and I was very impressed with the company's overall service.

This product is the best camera i have ever used . After using it for a while it feels like it is a part of your body. İmage quality and sharpness is more over than what i expected

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

After my entry into the digital camera market with a simple point and shoot, I chose a DX camera and loved it. So I stuck with a DX for 6 years. I had a fun time working on my photography skills.
Then this year I decided it was time for an upgrade. I reviewed tons of websites, include ADORAMA, and finally chose the Nikon D600. WOW!!! Really...that's my initial impression. I love how the colors are sharp and how easy to use its features. I would absolutely recommend the D600 to anyone thinking to take their photography skills to the next level. I'm there and the camera makes me feel like a more confident and experienced photographer. Give it a try...you won't want to put it down. I haven't yet.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

The ergonomics of this camera makes it very easy to handle. Almost the same grip as the D7000 which made it easier for my wife to handle.

I purchased this for a Disneyland and San Diego beach vacation and it performed extremely well. More specifically it allowed me to take shots in very low light with ISO 6400 and the pictures are all keepers. I used the video feature for the first time as well and I was more than pleased with the output.

My only issue is the clustering of the focus points. It's tad tighter than the rest of the Nikon models.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

This was an upgrade to my Nikon D5200, and what an upgrade it has been. First of all, the thing I am most impressed with is how easy this camera is to use, myself being generally new to photography. This is a semi-pro camera that can quickly be used by a newbie or "pre-ametuer" photographer like myself. Great resulution and crisp images.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

I brought this camera for use in a documentary. In all instances where I was to use this camera, I wanted to shoot with available light which I found the camera handled well. It works well in low light, backlight and direct light. However I returned the camera because I didn't like the color (I'm very particular that colors be reproduced as close to the original as possible - precise color of subjects cannot be reproduced in Photoshop). The color is greenish and dull.
I also needed this camera for video which I found to be of terrible quality. The moire and overall quality of the video was also a big factor in my returning this camera.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

I have owned a D2H and D2X for years, but really wanted a camera with good high ISO performance. The D600 looked like it would fit that bill quite well.
Two weeks and 600 shots later, all I can say is WOW - this camera far exceeds my expectations. Image quality is absolutely stunning, and I can finally take pictures with ISO values above 500 without having to worry about noise. In fact, I just keep it on ISO-Auto and just forget about it! All the way up to ISO 6400, results are incredible - that's low light photography at its best :)
I got the Nikkor AF-S 28-300 f/3.5-5.6G ED VR with it, as I wanted a light travel kit - loving every minute of it, after years of lugging around a D2X with several lenses :)
For critical work, I will continue to use my trusted AF-S zoom trio (17-35, 28-70, 80-200, all 2.8) which I've had since my F5 film days. Even my 10.5 DX lens is still usable as the D600 automatically switches to DX mode when DX lenses are mounted.
I can now again enjoy real wide-angle with this FX body, and after years of DX bodies, I'm really finding depth-of-field of FX much more pleasant.
Other plusses: awesome LCD screen, 2 SD card slots, U1-U2 user settings (loving these!), Live View.
On the minus side - ruggedness doesn't come close to the D2X, but I didn't really expect this anyway - Nikon has the D3/D4 if that's a requirement . Dedicated AF-ON button is missing (but I can assign this to the Fn button), and the SD card door is maybe a tad too easy to open accidentally.
No issues with the AF system - I'd read several complaints about the AF points being too much grouped together in the middle, but so far that's not been an issue at all.
Bottom line for me - I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

I use this camera for mainly landscape photography. On a recent trip to Barcelona, Spain took many great shots. Camera is easy to use, has great color rendition - shot mainly in shutter priority. Fill flash is fabulous, vastly superior to my D90.

Greatest things about the camera, picture quality, sharpness, color and weather resistant.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

This camera feels spectacular in the hand and has control placements that allow the photographer to focus on the shot, not the buttons and dials.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

Soooo happy with this camera that I bought 2 of them. Great performance and other than a couple minor quibbles it would be my dream camera

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

This is my first FX camera and I love it so far. Great quality and amazing detail. The AF clustered is not that big of an issue for me so it fits my needs perfectly. I recommend the optional battery grip if you will be using heavy lenses. ISO is amazing. Shot photos with ISO 3200 and couldn't believe the results that came out.

Comments about Nikon D600 Digital Camera (Body Only):

I love everything about it. The full format is wonderful. The 6400 ISO is fabulous. The lightness of the camera is excellent since I use it a lot doing wildlife on mountain trails.
