Nikon has finally announced its $2,099 (body only), full-frame, 24-megapixel D600. The new DSLR costs considerably less than the D800.
“As such, the D600 — which offers similar build quality and operational ergonomics as the popular DX-format D7000 — is hugely significant,” reports Digital Photography Review.
“It matches or exceeds the pixel count of every other full-frame DSLR bar one (the D800) at the sort of price point that up to now, has been almost exclusively the preserve of high-end APS-C cameras.”
The review notes that users will be impressed with the new camera’s “5.5fps shooting at full-resolution, 100 percent viewfinder coverage, full HD video capture with an option to record uncompressed footage via HDMI and customizable 39-point AF system.”
The review provides detailed specs and side-by-side comparisons to the D7000 and D800.
“It’s interesting to note, too, that with the D600, Nikon has significantly undercut Sony’s recent full-frame offerings — the SLT-A99 and Cyber-shot RX1, not to mention presented a daunting challenge to arch-rival Canon,” according to the review.
