We're in Kiev at the presentation announced just this morning
Full-frame SLR camera Nikon D600. There was a rumors for a long time. Spy photos and technical characteristics appeared long before the release.
And here it is, in our hands one of the most anticipated cameras - for advanced amateurs and professionals.
Predictors of the tea leaves told us about fantastic price in 1500 American presidents.
Drink your coffee by yourself,
but in real life this amount was $ 2,100
Is that a lot? Let's see:
- It's $ 1,400 cheaper than the Canon 5D Mark III - for $ 900 cheaper the older brother Nikon D800;
- for $ 900 - the older brother Nikon D800;
- $ 700 -- than just announced Sony Alpha 99 and mirrorless compact device
Cyber-shot RX1 At the same time, Nikon D600 cost is $ 100 higher
than the moral and technically obsolete Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D700
As a result, Nikon D600 with it's price
flats on the back totally all others. Now, let's see what he've got under the hood.
Actually D600 is slightly trimmed D800 in D7000's body.
Top and rear plates are made of magnesium alloy, the front made of polycarbonate.
Against D800 body from fully magnesium alloy.
Full-frame 24-megapixel sensor actually put it on the 2nd step of the cameras podium with the highest detailing
after the D800 in its price range. The sensitivity of the sensor varies in same range from 100 to 6400 point
In Advanced mode - from 50 to 25600.
As might be expected from the sensor with higher size of light-sensitive cells than
in the D800, the new sensor shows excellent image detailing in favourable conditions.
In dark light sensor also looks perfect.To ISO 3200
you can forget about the noise. Higher values are not a problem for the full-frame sensor too
but here you have to think it over.
To compare it right to the D800, in addition to the reduced resolution at full-frame shooting,
decreased amount of points in DX mode - from 15 to 10 megapixels
Also lost weight and features autofocus - 39 points to 51. And just 9 of them are cruciform against 15 in D800.
Notedly simplified measurement module.
Really unpleasantly that maximum shutter speed is only 1/4000 vs. 1/8000 in D800.
But, the continuous shooting speed in 600 even more -5.5 vs 4 frames per second.
Controls already known by other modern mirror Nikon cameras
and repeats their locatons in D7000 and D800.
Two SD memory card slots replaced SD and CF pack in the D800. From interfaces simplified just USB port,
its version dropped from 3rd to archaic 2.0.
External microphone input port for audio monitoring through headphones and HDMI video output with no compression
left in its places. Gorgeoous 3.2 "screen with resolution of 920
thousand pixels moved here without changes.
It's nice that the battery remains the same - EN-EL15
as at D800 and D7000.
Guaranteed number of shutter releases decreased from 200 to 150 thousand.
Videographers wasn't left behind too - there is everything for their needs
Full HD recording at 30/25 or 24 frames per second with manual volume adjustment
outputs to headphone and microphone
nocompressing HDMI, manual controls and excellent video quality.
As a result, Nikon D600 - a simplified but in any case not a stripped-down copy of the elder brother Nikon D800
It has a huge functionality potential for both professionals and advanced amateurs.
With high probability we can prophesy for D600 a bright future and a good sales
