Nikon D600: Full frame for the masses....

[Lost Canadian]

What they heck...

A 24 megapixel full frame sensor in a D7000 'like' body for around $1500. What do ya think?

The D800 is just too rich for me.

The D600 sounds just right.

yeah seems to be nice especially if it has dual card slots

if it comes out at that price range I think they will have a hit on their hands

guess we will find out in Sep will be fun to see all the new stuff

guess someone else who saw one ? said they are quite small though more like the entry level models
again cant wait to see new toys in Sep

Small sounds like a good thing for me at least. I played with a D800, and besides being too expensive and too large of files to handle in the field, I'm none too sure I want that large of a frame to lug around everywhere. My D300 is quite heavy enough after 8 or 10hrs around me neck!

$2100 though ?

Pro site I am on most are not stoked to many holes for pro use but lots of nice features for most folks so should be a great camera

Way to go Nikon! They seem to be pushing all the right buttons lately .....as far as tools for the landscape/nature enthusiast.

... What do ya think?

At $1500 with a magnesium body I may have to rethink the D800.

Should be good, but I'm still thinking about picking up a used D700. Would be an easy transition from my D300 (which is starting to get long in the tooth). Hopefully this will push down the price of the D700!

At $1500 with a magnesium body I may have to rethink the D800.

$1500 was the rumored price, $2100 is the actual, and it's only partial mag alloy. Same build as D7000, plastic front and bottom. Specs are still pretty strong for $2100.

A couple cool promo vids shot with the D600.



You can see the behind the scene making of "Chasing the Light" on Nikon's site.

Looks like a really cool camera and one my wife and I would have bought if we already hadn't ponied up for the D800. These new full frame cameras are pretty incredible. Lately we've tasked with shooting lots of pics in horrible light, and we've been blown away with the high ISO performance. Nikon seems to be on a roll.

I heard they may come out with a 16mm or 18mm f/1.8 AF-S prime, something I want badly. [Nevermind, this appears to be for the "1" system only]
