  Rumors are flying about the Nikon D600.

  Any thoughts? I just ordered a D800, but am debating waiting.

  Thinking out loud....

  Having said that, the D600 is an interesting development.

  Affordable full-frame. I'd argue this is geared towards "just keep shooting" than anything else and stripping back the gadgets in favour of light-capturing wonderfulness.

  Excited to see samples

  Right. But the D800 is $1000 more (supposedly), which is a lot. 24+ mp is plenty for almost anyone (600 rumors).

  Dealers around here are skeptical, though, as they think it would suck most of the buyers of the 800 away (like me) and think it would be stupid if Nikon released something like that so soon.

  Hmmmmm

  Dropped my magnesium alloy body more than a few times on shoots. Earned a few scratches bu still fully functional. Just had a few lens rings pop off. Depends on what you need to do and how fast it has to happen. If you're generating revenue from this equipement, go as high as you can and just deduct that shit on your taxes. Lowers the income anyways.

  I'd much rather have 2 D600's than one D800.... but I like 2 bodies, switching lenses all the time on my gigs risks the dust from hell...

  • starting to understand this logic.– jaylarson1/3

    and that's partially why the stores around here think that there won't be a D600, not anytime soon– formed2/3

    (it would kill sales of the D800 - 2 D600 for only a 1k more, full frame, etc., etc.)– formed3/3

  don't know much about nikon and i'm not very keen on the idea of 36 megapixel but not a medium format...
  can the transfer speed handle the file size and fast continuos shutter? plastic body?
  perhaps i should read more into it...

  I just don’t see the results of 36 meg Camera.

  I studied this thing back and forth, and the megapixels of the
  Nikon D800 just are not doing it for me like I thought they would.

  I love nikon, though, but the D800 is really just hype.

  • Huh, then we must be ready totally different reviews– formed
