quick questions from a Canon user thinking of switching

1. can the D600 act as a flash controller to control another flash?
2. does it have a single button to zoom in 100% on the focus point?
3. does nikon usually reduce the prices of new launches few months down the road?

thanks !

1. Yes - Either CLS or TTL activation
2. Yes - need to configure this in menu options
3. Yes - even more drops towards EOL.

One more thing, how does the shutter sound to be compare as D800/D3s?

Thanks

d3s has a louder solid 'clack' sound. the newer cameras shutter sound are quite 'polite'.

You meant like a similar to D7000?

cause I have notice my D800 the clack sound quite louder than D7000.

That's why I just asking it

Anywhere Thank you so much.

I love the muscular d800 sound! Pity doesn't have the quiet shutter mode unlike 5d3 for more discreet shooting situations.

If the menu options is similar to D7000, then it doesn't have it.

D700, D800, D3, D3s, D4 all have it

Oops don't have meh???

Ha ha never used the quiet mode...

Go back home and check it up

 

[rain5533]

Have quiet mode. Only not like 5d3 as silent mode.

Quiet Mode

Unlike the excellent, quiet, fast and very usable Silent mode of the Canon 5D Mark III, the Quiet mode of the D800 is useless.

The D800's Quiet mode, selected with the top Advance mode dial, is slow, blanks out the finder for a second after you shoot, and isn't any quieter than the regular mode anyway.

The D800's Quiet mode isn't very smart either: it mutes the stupid beeps if for some unknown reason you have them turned on in the menu, but it isn't smart enough to turn off the AF assist light.

While the 5D Mark III's mode is great, all the D800's quiet mode does is annoy you, and it's just as noisy.

D3100 also has it. Even my older D2X also has that.

Tried with the D4 Q mode. Not really that quiet.

 

[daredevil123]

D3100 also has it. Even my older D2X also has that.

But D7k don't have it.

Yes thanks for helping to clarify... i should have said that the d800 "quiet" mode is not as effective as the 5d3

Looks like we have quite a few fans of shutter sound here!

Actually I find the entry level Nikon bodies already have quite discreet sounding shutter...personally d90 shutter sounds quite "polite" (as one other forumer mentioned earlier)

Just side track bit - this week really exciting with many new product launches... wife already complaining of being neglected, lol.

Hi, how does the front (lens mount area) of the D600 feels like? i shoot landscape and long exposures often thus will be mounting the 14-24 f2.8 on it with tripod for long period of time. Can the body actually support the weight of the lens since the front is not alloy like the D800?
