Perhaps to compete more effectively against Canon's newly released 6D?

I think all have the potential to develop it. :) However, it's only for 2 days but I guess after Xmas the price will fall further anyway.
 

For Nikon that being order from online ... if need to service can we still send to Local nikon Service Center ?

Why not? Can always order online using cgw etc:D

Haha, I mean I do not need to have 2 sets. 1 is more than enough for me :)

I bought at much much higher price, but I have got no regrets buying it then as I have made full use of it for the past few months.

DSLR is like any other IT or electronic gadgets, depreciates the moment it gets onto your hand. However you get to enjoy it earlier. There is never a good time when to buy it, but rather when you want it.

Never look back, always looking forward. :)

I've taken so many beautiful moments with the camera. A few hundred dollars is worth it for getting it earlier when I needed it. :)

Yup :D that's awesome!
 

Was in Orient Photo yesterday. Asked for a 3rd Party battery grip for Nikon D600. Was quoted $99 for the Pixel branded batt grip. FYI.
 

Stick with ori for batts
 

Hi D600 users.

Anything you really like about the camera or anything you felt can be improved further?

(Let's not talk dust).


For one, I wished the VF is 100% and also uses the same design with VF cover like the D7/800/single digits D.

If the design is same, we can use DK-19 for eye-cup.

I thought the D600's Viewfinder coverage is 100%? From this link:

The D600's viewfinder offers 100% coverage and 0.7x magnification, offering the same viewing experience as the considerably more expensive D800 and D4. Viewfinder accessories for those cameras won't fit though - the D600's finder is framed with a rectangular eyecup, like the D7000 and D300S.

As for somebody who's coming over from 5D, I actually wish Nikon placed the direct movie shooting button somewhere much more convenient / easier to reach & press. It being on top -- and sometimes out of sight from some viewing angle -- can make pressing the button difficult.

Actually whats the use of the eyecup? Issit just for comfort? Never used one so im not sure...

I think i had mentioned this small problem before, the d600 8-way directional pad is too small, its hard to press the diagonal directions.

I cant tell if the sensor self-cleaning is working. Doesnt seem to have sound during cleaning :/

No matter how much I tweak the lens AF fine-tune, doesnt seem to have much effect (maybe im doing something wrong, but according to the menu seems quite straight forward)

Other than the body, its also hard to find a soft screen protector for d600. I dun really like the hard kind tat came with the body. I prefer those handphone kind of soft ones. Anyone knows where to get it?

Problems aside, the camera Image quality is really amazing! Ironically, sometimes i think the MP is too much, it takes my laptop a long time to view it at 100% when doing pp in lightroom (duo core 2.5ghz, 3gb ram, underpowered i know)

for the price i really think nikon has done a great job squeezing as many features as they can at this price. Doesnt feel like an entry-level fullframe body with its numerous AF points and af response.

On a side-note, i feel theres quite a bit of learnit curve coming from d80. When using 35mm @f2, the dof is really so shallow tat sometimes by recomposing, the focus has already shifted. Anyone has tips for me?

have you tried assigning the AF-L/AE-L button to "focus lock only"?

Hmm, i dun get u. How does locking focus helps in recomposing without going out of the fous range?
 

Maye i should explain my problem in more detail.

I use the center AF point to acquire focus. Once focusing is done, i recompose and release shutter. Becos the distance has changed ever so slightly during recomposing, (and due to the shallow dof @ f2), the resulting image ends up slightly out of focus.

I can use a smaller aperture like f2.8, but i feel this is not the way to improve my "shooting techniques" if u know what i mean
 

90% of the time I use centre point AF and recompose too. What I did was to hold down the AE/AF lock button before recompose. So far results are good, except when my subject moves.

Ok shall start my nit-pick of this camera:

1. The rubber grip sometimes feels like it is about to come off after full day out shooting, maybe 400-500 shots. It didn't though, it's just a feeling.

2. There were few occasions whereby there is a delay when I switch to video live view mode. My longest was about 15s-20s. Brought to NSC to check but was given clean bill of health. Not much of concern since seldom video.

3. This camera makes me much more addicted to photography compared to my previous cameras, and time is not a luxury for me :(

In summary, an awesome camera. I guess I might be one of the few that have made many many trips to NSC for reasons obvious, but I can tell you even with that factored in, it's still the best camera ever for me, and I can't be happier with it. With LR 4.3 supporting this camera fully now, it has further increased my love for it. Those who have not explored the new LR4.3, go pull out your older RAW files and see how much difference it makes :)
