Someone had to speak about this. Thank You Martin. So true. Nowadays people have become better at gear collecting than photographing.
Thanks glad you agree
What about the D 610
@@coachkimandme4634 Hi, D610 are a slightly faster shutter which runs to 6 FPS, as opposed to the 5.5 FPS of the D600, and a new 3 FPS Quiet Continuous (Qc) shutter mode, better (newer) auto WB algorithm. And they say that it eliminates shutter problems of D600.
Man o man you are speaking facts about Cameras vs Photographers... Like you said a bad photographer can't do better with a expensive camera.
Haha thanks 🙏
Thank you for this quick review Martin!
The Nikon signature Grain was what pulled me into changing my system from Canon to Nikon.
And what bonded me with the ecosystem is the ergonomics, everything makes sense, at least for me.
absolutely! I have seen countless 'photographers' usually trying to get you to subscibe to their couses, praying on people who don;t know any differant. with thousands of pounds worth of equipment behind them or a full range of lenses along with 20 different top spec cameras to choose from, subscrib to this buy that get this magazine or that book as though money is on a roll in the back garden and you just need to peel it off,
Years of experience behind them, top models on the books, huge corporate investment. several books written etc etc. Trying to tell beginners how they can teach them to be successful in the industry when they don't really care one way or another if you do or not. add a few video's and charge you an extortional amount just to make them richer.
I find it so welcoming to see someone like Martin a real person telling people the reality of begining at the bottom. Well done Martin you are a hero in the amatuer world a real person down to earth telling it how it is very inspiring thank you.
My first Full frame camera was D600. Then D700 then D750. As you said I didn't like the color and focus of D750. D600 was better and spot on and loved the color. My clients loved my work too and most of them were taken by D600 with 85mm f1.8. I sold all DSLR Nikon gear and lenses. Switched to Sony A7iii. Then I regreted and got Z7. My honest opinion is that still D600 files are better than Z7 and A7iii files. I will get D600 again.
I landed here because I was considering trading my old D600 but you've reminded me what's important. Thanks for that.
Thank Mark you are welcome
The D600/610 is the best value, highest image quality, budget full frame camera you can buy. Don't listen to people on gear forums, they are full of sh!t and will always justify whatever "more money than sense" purchase they just made.
This. The Canon 6D is it's direct Canon equivalent. The D700 and 5D classic are also equivalent bring 12 megapixel full frame chunkier cameras that have stupendous colors.
@@mikafoxx2717 exactly, even though I shoot nikon, I recently told a friend of mine to get a Canon 6D (because he had a bunch of Canon glass passed on to him). He wanted to shoot aurora australis and other night photography and I said he'd get everything he wanted out of the 6D. He got one for a few hundred dollars and he is now very happy with what he can do.
@@slooob23 superb camera
Really enjoying these reviews on older DSLR bodies. By far the most informative videos on TH-cam, especially coming from a professional’s perspective. Thanks
These are all great points and it makes perfect sense. These have always been great cameras and like you said in the beginning, professional photographers get the workhorse cameras and use them forever. Not the newest and most feature rich machines. Those are for youtubers who review cameras... 👍📸
Thanks David, that’s it, as a pro you need a workhorse nothing more. Although I think weddings would be more fun to shoot with the latest mirrorless cameras!
@@MartinCastein Only if it worked as good as your 5D... 😆🤷🏻♂️ But I get your point completely. It would be cool for a while, but there is some confirt in knowing how to manipulate the camera completely bu memory and changing all the time to newer versions never let you get really familiar with the machine before the newest one comes out. It still would be fun though😬📸
Brilliant, well presented and thoughtfully explained about using a camera correctly and with a candid, detailed sentiment to your own personal approach. All the best, Gav.J
I love your review, your honesty and advice.
Thank you for your honesty on the Nikon D600 Camera body! Looking at the D600 for my Basic FX Landscape Photography!
Quality video! Covered everything I needed to hear, thankyou! 👍
Glad it was useful!
Great review Martin. Totally reassured me to stick with my D600. I love it and the images it produces are fantastic combined with a Sigma 50mm art.
What a sensible and instructive video, thank uou Mr Castein.
You are very welcome
Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks!
Great Video! I am using two D610 for my wedding work since it came out. My first D600 have some sensor issue and after using D600 for 6 years Nikon replace with new D610 with free of cost. I still can shoot with these camera for next 10 years. Great Camera!
I think they are perfect for wedding photography what more do you really need
Thanks for that tip on the preview button being used for spot metering, I never had a use for that button and definitely will start using this to help expose better!
No worries Kyle, its a great feature on the nikons in this price range. The camera can meter on the focus point so you can spot meter a face for example. Even the 5d mark iii couldnt do it, not sure the mark iv could either. The D600 can do more than a lot of other cameras that cost a lot more.
Nice thoughtful video Martin. I shoot interiors and try not to get caught up in the new gear obsessions too much. I think it's very positive that working professionals demonstrate that there is still professional value in older cameras. I personally don't shoot Nikon professionally. I'm a Canon user but I do own a Nikon 7100 which I love using for spontaneous snaps because of the ergonomics and colours. I've thought about getting a secondhand D750 as I'm not happy with DX lenses for 24 or 35 mm equivalent. But you've inspired me to have a look at the D600. Keep up the great videos.
Hi Jon, thanks for the comment I think the only advantages with the d750 is the tilt screen and the exposure preview it’s worth bearing in mind the d600 has no exposure preview in live view but it’s otherwise really good and to my mind ha nicer colour than the d750
Honest and on point video, thanks!
Thank you for posting this, saved me a lot of money :)
Glad it was useful!
Exxelent video.. thank you for making this about the D600, i have one of those , got it when it first came out and it's still treating me well! And i learned quite a bit from this video.. thanks again!
Thank you, its great to get feedback like that.
I spend a lot of time with a headache about my d610. Just because some local wedding photographers said to me that the camera is old! And I must to buy the 750. But I did a 2 weddings with it, with a sigma art 24mm and it’s a monster camera! No doubt about it anymore people!. Yes Yes, the 750 have a better autofocus in low light, but after a various VS, I don’t see too much difference in the quality between both cameras. I’m gonna sell my 7200 to buy another 610 with a nikon 85mm 1.8. A very very strong arsenal!! Thank you for show respect in this camera!🙌🏼
Nothing this camera can’t do as a stills camera and it’s perfect for weddings really, glad you are enjoy using it and don’t worry what others say they don’t matter.
I've had second hand gear only and now saving for a D600 (or 610). Nice video!
This was a really we done review and bit of advice.
About to get back into the industry after 10 years off and the camera I’m borrowing is the D600. I’ve only ever shot Canon so this will be a learning curve but after listening to you I’m excited for the journey:)
Ah well I hope you have a lot of fun with it and get fully back into photography it’s a great camera stick with it for a while.
Not a wedding photographer and use the 610 almost the same, but my take from your vid is that I agree that we have to begin by asking when is good enough good enough and not chasing the latest for so little better!
Such a great, honest video. Thank you
Thanks!
Beutiful wedding shots! Thank you for a real world view on camera gear, and talking about costs. I go back to shooting weddings, and studio work with film cameras, and had to make the digital transition a number of years ago. Started out with Miniolta 6mp gear that turned into Konica/Minolta that turned into Sony. They made a couple really great semi pro level cameras, but then Sony abandoned the SLR market. Turned to Nikon and never looked back. I just now in 2021 purchased a used D610 to upgrade a D7000. Started testing and I'm very happy with what I'm seeing. The pictures you show created with a D600 are stunning. I was a bit worried at my choice, but not any longer. .
Don’t worry about your choice just get really used to the camera, they are excellent just make sure you are familiar with it
Most definitely. Already figuring the camera out. Similar to most Nikons with a few new, better surprises.
How are you finding the autofocus compared to the D7000?
Yes, the D600/610 is still a great camera! I use one for years with no problems and I'm happy with this Nikon. Thank's for this video👍 Have a nice weekend🖑
PS. I spend my money for glas...give me more for the bucks.
Thanks and you are right to spend the money on glass!
Damn this is such a good video about the D600 and also in general.
Thank you glad you like it
Excellent review from a very practical perspective.
Thanks Brian
Nice review was looking at upgrading my d3100 to either d5600 or d600 you have explained perfectly ..d600 it is Cheers....
Great Video! Thank you
12:40 This. Resolution has been more than adequate for giant poster sized prints for years now. I started looking at getting into photography as a serious hobby in 2009. I decided to go with the Nikon brand. The used bodies from that era were the D70, D70s, D80, and D200 (and D2 but that was not in my price range). But the D90 had been released just the year before and was the current "enthusiast" body. I was leaning towards a used D80 until I read the reviews of the D90, so I splurged on a new one. I still have and use it today.
Looking back I think the D90 was the first DSLR body that was not made obsolete by the release of a new model.
Concidering this as a cheap vacation and family documenting camera with a 50 1.8 on it, while also being able to use it for the occational work-shoot. You are definitely right, our photos are not going to become better with a more expensive camera. Thanks for making this.
Thank you!
This is a very refreshing kind of talk and I'm glad you choose to make it publicly. Sometimes I am just disgusted by the heavy consumerism that goes on in this photography business.
Thank you, i know what you mean.
Just starting my wedding photography journey down in London and discovered your channel. Some fantastic tips and pointers (not just on this vid, but many others of yours) that really resonate. I also had a D600 and loved the images, but the only downside for me was the small buffer which would occasionally prevent my shutter from firing while the images were still saving to the card. I now have a D750 (not for the buffer but the slightly better low-light performance) and D810 (for the buffer). The latter is a heavy old brute and you're right, 36MP is overkill for wedding photography and all those pixels need a higher shutter speed as any camera shake is ruthlessly exposed in the images. Also concur the 85mm 1.8G is a wonderful piece of glass!
Hi there thanks, yes the buffer can be a bit small, I’m just attached to the d600, the d750 is a better camera. I’d like one again but it’s only a bit better.
I’m in London too I hope you do well just go for it
I'm still rocking my D600 in 2021 and I find it is still more than enough for most type of photoshoot situations. good video.
Yeah it’s really good can’t really fault it
Do you have any issues with the dust on the sensor??
Just got a 610 with 85 1.8, 35 1.8 and the older 24 2.8. Very lightly used. Should b a great upgrade from my 10 year old D7000!
Best value and probably the most underrated camera right now. Got one last year for $280 usee with 80k SC and added 30k+ SC to that and still working like new.
Got a
Yeah I’d say it’s about the best value out there right now
Thanks for the video. There isn't many recent videos on this camera. I have a d5100 and was thinking about upgrading to a d600. I do a little photography on my spare time just for fun lol 😊
Hi Christian thanks for commenting I hope you have fun with it!
upgrading over time..the way to go
日本から拝見しました。U1、U2設定の便利な使い方を始めて知りました。あなたの結婚式撮影に対する熱い想いに関心しました。私もD600、D610を使いましたが、色の再現性がソフトな印象だった記憶があります。これからもいい写真をたくさん撮って下さい！
Today I bought my second D600. It has just over 6000 clicks, the other D600 has 13000 clicks.. They are great camera's. Easy to use and very good image quality. Thanks for the tips!
Great to hear!
Great review. I just push the button on a used d600. Been using the d7100 for 5 years now and love it. But I wanted a full frame camera. Got the d600 for $450.00. Thought that was such a good price for a full frame Nikon. Now I am researching what I did 😁. You eased my worry. I bought a Sony A7Rii a few months earlier but taking pictures just seemed lifeless?for shooting people. I will use it for product photography. Thanks again.
Glad you found this useful the d600 is really good I’m sure you will be happy!
Martin, Thank you for a brilliant review of the Nikon 600 series. I have just purchased the Nikon 610 and I am looking forward to seeing some great results. Perhaps, if you would. Make some lens recommendations for this camera?
Thanks Kevin I’ll be using the d600 a lot on this channel shortly, a lens video is a good idea thanks I will do that
Digital cameras have really been excellent for over a decade. Yes, every few generations cameras gain significant improvements... better face recognition, higher ISO, etc. However, in most situations, those options are not game-changers. I think most TH-cam "influencer" channels are there to sell products to hobbyists rather than pros. Pros use their cameras as tools, not toys. Naturally, specific photographers may need the latest and greatest. Most of us can produce professional results with cameras "from the past." I love my 5D III and IV, they have never let me down.
Thanks for the comment Mike! I agree none of it really amounts to game changing, only for video really.
thanks man!! very reasonable explanation especialy in terms of affordability i fully agree....im doing paid jobs 3 years on nikon d 3300 ...so for me that will be massive upgrade even in 2021....i think d600 is perfect for me and its amazing camera
It’s excellent if I were to shoot weddings again I’d probably still use them
I really couldn’t agree more. Thx for that video. Nowadays it seems normal that amateurs spending thousands of bucks on pro gear and lenses and they have litterally no clue what they are dealing with. Also the color output is a good point. There is just something magical to it. It’s just pleasing to the eye straight out of camera. I had a d7000 and was absolutely in love with it. Unfortunately i dropped it so badly that I had to buy a new body and I needed one real quick and cheap. So I got a d3300 in 2016. I’m still shooting that little beast and it offers great results. I’m also searching for a cheap ff option lately and ran into a d600 for 449 bucks with 1 year warranty. So I searched for some reviews. Well…..you might have convinced me now!
The only thing you need to be aware of with the d600 is that lack of exposure preview in live view, its got an excellent sensor in it though
thanks for the effort and the sharing. your preferred wedding lenses for the Nikon D600/610? thumbs up!
well said. Cheers!!!
Just tested the D600 with extreme ISO and have to say, wow. Though there is what some would call “noise” to me the word “noise” means unpleasant but the D600 is not that. It definitely produces a film pleasing look. It’s really nice look. Definitely get urself this camera.
It’s a great camera one of my very favourites
At last a decent sensible and real world review . I 'upgraded' to a D800e and its bit of a pain to use, its like using a medium format camera as its so slow.
I'm going to go back to the D600/610 very soon.
Yeh I think the d600 is more responsive and the megapixel thing is all a bit silly in my opinion. I’ve only needed more megapixels for a couple of commercial jobs.
Great video. Plus I picked up some tips. I love my D600. As a rather new photographer, my 3 prime lenses (24, 50, and 85) all serve me well. I’d love to replace the 24 manual with a 24 auto but beyond that I’m happy. Such great photos and it allows me to focus on my craft without chasing the specs.
Thats good and glad you found some useful tips, the 24-50 and 85 are an excellent range of focal lengths, i agree with getting an auto focus lens, kind of of, depends what you shoot but wider lenses are harder to manual focus.
@@MartinCastein maybe I’ll stick to my manual lens. It’s an old vintage lens (I’d imagine a good 12 years old more more) but it does the job for interior shoots where I need everything in focus. So I usually just set it to the infinity zoom setting. I’m really never messing with focus beyond that. So maybe I should just keep it. I’d looked at a new a Nikon 24mm manual lens because I wanted something fresher, and I’d be ok with that too.
Yes if that’s your use I’d just keep
It there isn’t much use for autofocus to shoot things that aren’t moving really.
nice review.
Thank you!
Great video as always, Martin. Thanks! Question - how would you compare the D600 with the Fuji XT2 for wedding?
i would go with the d600 personally, better battery life and more predictable focus system and better image quality overall.
@@MartinCastein I understand. Thanks for the answer!
i just purchased a d600 secondhand with a 24-85mm ED lens for 450 AUD. Super impressed with it for food photography and sceneries for personal use
very good deal that is for sure im sure you will be happy with it
Every word is true!
Per your recommendation I went ahead and bought a D600. Just ordered it from Japan. $369, looks clean. 30,000 shutter. And got a Nikon 85mm 1.8 from MPB for $189. This will be my portrait and landscape. I’ll still keep
my Fuji XT3 for video work. Thx 4 video.
Excellent, hope you will enjoy it!
Great explanation, cheers to that!
Could you please tell me - is it going Nikon d610 with 50 mm 1.8 g to be good enough for street photography portraits & product photography, not professional
Yes
Hey Martin, tx for another great video. How did you find the autofocus of the D600 compared to the Canon 6d?
Focus is better on the d600 generally but the center focus point is excellent on the 6d
@@MartinCastein tx for the reply Martin. So would you say the 6d's center point is better than the D600? If so is it only in certain light or overall?
@@alwynsmit3546 sorry missed this, the 6d center point is a bit better than the d600 one but really the d600 focus system is a lot more practical.
@@MartinCastein tx Martin. I had the D7000 with the same AF system & hated how inconsistent it was, especially in low light. I believe Nikon tweaked it when they put it in the D600, but always stayed clear of the D600/610 because of my experience with the D7000. Pity though, because I still believe to this day, the D7000 had the best APS-C sensor ever made. Thanks for the response
Good review. I’m curious if the screen & live view is good enough as an aid in manual focusing?
That’s so subjective it’s hard to answer I’d say yes and you could turn up sharpening on your jpeg settings so it looks sharper but you have to remember there is no exposure preview in live view it’s just auto exposure. You can still photograph in manual mode though you just can’t preview the exposure
@@MartinCastein Appreciate it, thanks!
I have a D600, bought it new with the 24-85 VR kit lens and still only at 5600 shutter count because I don't get much time for using it. For travel I use an OMD-EM1 and a GM5. Now my daughter is getting married soon and for cost reasons I am thinking of doing the wedding photography myself. I am not very fond of the 24-85, don't know why, sharpness maybe, I don't find it exceptional. I am looking at getting a used 24-70, non VR version, or the 24-120. I have a 50mm 1.8 as well. How would you rate the 24-120 against the 24-70? I was actually thinking of getting rid of all my camera gear and starting again with a Z6II and 24-70 lens, but your video made me reconsider, the D600 still has one of the highest sensor scores on DXOMark and I am always amazed at how much I can recover from blown highlights and dark shadows.
I dont know how the z6ii autofocus would do at a wedding the reception. i had the z7ii and the focus was odd on it, it could be excellent, but in moving low light with changing or unusual lighting the hit rate was pretty bad. It would confirm focus, look like it was going to be in focus and then looking on the computer its hit the nose or ears, even though in the viewfinder it confirms on the eye. I never had issues with the d600 in low light as id use the assist from the flash. So its hard to say, regarding lenses definitely a 24-70 2.8.
I just bought mine recently.. and I am so eager to use it for snapping weddings with my 35mm lens. Thanks for everything there is to know about the camera
you are welcome, hope you enjoy it!
@@MartinCastein I haven't even started using it but it looks promising the way you describe it. But I took some shots with it, did some adjusting with the white balance. The pictures came out quite nice with it's depth of field
Im lovign my d600 only had oen wedding with it so far got a few this year. looking ot buy nikons 28-70 2.8 afs
glad you are liking it, have a look at the 24-70 used, i dont know where you live but some 2nd hand stores give you a 6 months warranty, the extra width on the 24mm is often worth it.
Thanks Martin for your valuable info on the D600. 6 months ago I bought my first DSLR, the D610, near new, very low shutter count. I use U1 +U2 to store frequent settings but I find it's easy to inadvertently change the shutter speed or aperture when I don't want to with my thumb or index finger when I am ready to take the shot. Is their a way to lock the these settings so it doesn't happen? Thanks.
There is an option in the menu for shutter and aperture lock you can google that it will show you
My D600 with 24 mpx and "older" auto focus system etc etc etc....is better than my D800...it truly is.
You nailed it! Also, do you find that that generation of Nikons (D7100, D600/610, D800/E, Df) have the most pleasing out of camera colors than any other generation? The d7200, D750, D810 were just a step down for color performance.
Hi Robbie, yes i would agree with the overall id say, thats been my experience for sure.
i just got one with 44k shots, 2 batteries, 2 32gb sd cards, third party grip, all for 260 euros.
Hi Martin. I just bought my first Bayer DSLR in about 7 years and it happened to be the D600. As I'm not much into changing lenses, I'd like to ask for an advice, which lens do you think is the best "fit for every purpose" for this beast? Thanks a million!
For a bit of everything is get the 24-120f4 if you can pick up a used one from a shop then even better. It’s a very good lens it’s not perfect but will do everything pretty well. I loved mine will buy another soon enough.
@@MartinCastein Thank you. I did not have this one on my radar yet. What do you think of the kit lens 24-85? Seems to be an affordable all-in-one lens but opinions differ quite a bit when it comes to quality.
Not been convinced by the reviews personally and seem very low uptake on it which would put me off but I’d add I’ve never used it. You could try it and see
I think I’m going to buy one of these or the 610. 24mp is perfect for me. I have mirrorless cameras and while they are nice, they eat through batteries. I’m always charging batteries and trying to keep track of which ones are charged and which ones aren’t. It’s a bit much. And I don’t need animal eye focus and all sorts of ridiculous features and endless menus.
d600 is enough for most people, mirrorless is a real upgrade for those that do video and photo and probably for wedding photographers NOT on a budget
Thanks Martin for this video, I don't have much budget to start my studio (again)... Do you think this camera with 50mm 1.4f lens would work well for product photo for social media? I appreciate your help! Greetings from Mexico!
Depends what the product is, if you know 50mm is ok you could get the 50 1.8g
@@MartinCastein Food, drinks, cosmetic... Thanks a lot!
Could you please explain how to set up the IOS sensitivity/minimum shutter speed on the top preview button. My brother has given me a load of kit and in the box was a Nikon D600 with a new shutter with only 765 actuvations on it. So now need to get it set up and I would like to try your way with the settings I do love visiting churches and find them intresting. Thanks for the video
Hi Bob thanks I have a video on my channel how to do it if you get stuck just reply look for : Preview Button Trick | Auto ISO TIPS Wedding Photography Tutorial Nikon
@@MartinCastein Found the video very helpful and I followed your settings and it is all set up ready to goand have pinched your settings for wedding as I think they will be helpful in the churches I visit. Many thanks you have a new disable follower (me) take care and stay safe and healthy.
@@bobbowring1702 thanks Bob and welcome aboard 🙂
its knackered, it still works fine...
dude pick one
Amazing, does these features work with the D610
Yes it’s the same camera really other than oil spot issue fixed in d610
Thanks for the video.... any still use d600 for wedding? can you put your website
you can look at my instagram @mkweddingphotography 90% is the d600 on there. i dont have a wedding website now.
What make of monitor and lap top do you use for editing
I use a MacBook Pro 2018 15 inch I’m not sure what the monitor is but it’s 32 inch and quite good. I’d probably get the new Mac mini now.
I'm considering to trade my Sony A7ii to Nikon d600/d610 and I saw this. Thank you for sharing your opinion sir. I just felt uncomfortable with A7ii and If I get d610, I can get nikon 50 f1.8g and the old Tamron 90 f2.8 macro with it.
Just remember you have to live exposure preview on the d610 other than that it’s excellent but it’s very much a dslr rather than mirrorless so you have to take those limitations into consideration
I traded and I definitely love d600 more than a72, it makes me feel more enjoyable when taking pictures and pictures from nikon are easier to work with
well said, so you prefer the colors of d600 over d750, because I am between the two
D750 has better focus better iso and nicer grip and flippy screen and live exposure preview in live view. I think the d600 has better colours which are easier to work with. Most people should buy the d750 a lot of my sticking with the d600 is sentimental but also the colour. D750 is a better camera overall.
As per my review though most of the upgrades I’d the d750 made no real world difference for weddings for me. I didn’t get a higher keeper rate for example but did find the files took longer to edit due to colour being harder to edit
@martincasteinphotography would you recommend this camera instead of the Sony A6000 ?
What do you intend to shoot?
@@MartinCastein weddings and portraits mainly on a semi pro basis !
Sorry for late reply didn’t see you had replied.
Thanks for getting back to me.
@@MartinCastein I currently own the Sony A6000 and the Sigma 30mm f1.4 but wonder if the full frame D600 would be better in many ways ! Better battery, dual card slots, better low light performance, built better etc
@@MartinCastein what would your educated opinion be on this matter. Don’t wish to push but I need to make up my mind asap.
Thanks so much
Scott
I'm looking into getting a D610, but I'm worried, that according to the specs, the af detection range only goes down to -1 EV. Could this be a deal breaker? Did you have any trouble with af, in lower light situations? Thanks!
thats really hard to answer because i dont know what conditions you will be working in, when i used the d600 and its very dark ive always used flash with it which has a focus assist beam, its pretty good at focus in low light but obviously has its limits too. Partly it depends on the lens as well as some just focus better than others too. Its hard to answer definitively.
@@MartinCastein I mainly shoot street portraits, and my D7000 has been struggling, with night shots. Using the assist light is a no-go for me. I have a better idea, now. Thanks!
@@NormanZealandMalana Maybe I can shime in here
I don't find any major issues in low light with the D600
Even in low light and with no af light assist it works well
This sensor is a little sensitive to contrast so just make sure to have good contrast between your subject and the background.
Also in post because this is an amazing sensor you can recover easily - 4 to +4 stops without any loss in information.
I have shoot in the streets and works just fine. 😊
@@Decimalminimal Thanks!
What gimbal is best for nikon d600?
Not sure the d600 would be all that good on a gimbal it has no focus in video really
Is the D600 good for street photography as well?
I have a D3400 wich i love but i whant to get a FF F mount.
Yeah it’s fine for pretty much anything I think
@@MartinCasteinthank you for the support

@@MartinCasteinI bought one d600 😊
I am amazed how good it is dispite it age
The grain even at high iso it's like fine film grain
Color and contrast is very good
Thanks to you I bought a good used camera for a fair and good price
Now it's time to shoot 🎉
@@Decimalminimal excellent!!!
Just curious. So would you say that the D610 does not render colors as well as the D600?
It’s exactly the same
@@MartinCastein Thank you. I'm getting ready to move on a used D600 or D610, but didn't want to risk the oil on the sensor issue. I figure if they're selling their D600 there is a higher chance of that being an issue.
@@Man_Cave yeah might as well get the d610 now really
could the D 600 be my number 1 camera for paid work? I have a Cannon 6 D now.
yes of course, no reason why not.
@@MartinCastein Thanks man, I found a D610 on Island for sale should I look for a D600 or should I grab the D 610?
@@MartinCastein Mahalo for your quick response.
@@peterkim7571 Go for the d610 if its a good price.
My d600 has become my stunt camera. I’ve bought newer, so-called better cameras, but I absolutely f***ing love the images I get from the D600.
Me too it takes brilliant photos just taking mine to the lakes in a couple of weeks time
@@MartinCastein sounds awesome.
I’m obsessed with colors like you and I check out the files of almost every camera and I never thought to check the D 600 until you mentioned it do you know how I see the D 600 it looks like a five the classic by 24 megapixels in better auto focus. That beautiful brown skin tone. It’s great in natural and OCF lighting. Can I ask you how the Af I’d compared to the d750. Also I like to set the record button as my ISO button so I can change iso quickly on my d750 do you know if that reprogrammable here.
The D600 focus isnt as good as the D750 for sure, especially on the outer focus points, but at the same time at that wedding I shot which was super dark at times, i shot on primes and the number of keepers from d750 and d600 shot side by side was id say the same. I couldnt say that either camera missed anything much really. So the d750 is noticeably better for focus but doesnt really amount to that much. I think that might depend how you shoot though. You cant set the iso button on the record button unfortunately, but like anything you get used to it.
what are your thoughts on the Nikon D 610?
It’s the same camera exactly other than shutter oil fix so same opinion on that
@@MartinCastein Nice
I found one with over 1 million shutter actuations. Should i get it? And im not joking. Apparently it was used in a factory, so thats why its so high. Normally, they would use the camera to shoot several images of each products, amounting to thousands of images per day.
Personally I’d say no as a million is a million there are lots around with far fewer actuations but it’s impressive that it made it that far!
@@MartinCastein yeah but this one is the cheapest that i can find. 😂 Going half off the used market price. Thank you, I'm gonna sleep on it and see how i feel when i wake up later.
If you like the price go for it if the shutter breaks you can have it replaced I think still and it’s new camera
Wedding photography... because a woman has a dream of being a princess for 1 day... 😆
Wonderful beautiful shots!
I have a Canon 1Ds (batteries are dead unfortunately), a D5300 and a D600.
BTW, thanks for calling it Nee-kon. It drives me crazy when 'Merricun testers all say Nai-kon! 🤬
Haha thanks Mikael just for you I will pronounce it the American way in the next video 🤣
@@MartinCastein 😭
For wedding photography which camera between nikon d4 & nikon z5 are better?
Either are capable, but for me it would be the D4 due to the ergonomics and overall handling and build quality. Thats assuming you are doing a lot of weddings.
Yes, but I have Nikon D7100 with 18-105 basiic kit lense & 35 mm 1.8 g . I hardly require large prints, I do mostly for conventional 12inch x 36 inch wedding album. I need a camera with decent low light capabilities. Sometimes I do street photography . Please suggest a camera & lenses.
I would actually go for the D4 and then id get the 35 1.8 85mm 1.8 and 24-120 f4. OR 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8or f4 other camera to look at is d750
@@MartinCastein Thank you very much for your guidance.
@@MartinCastein I can use those lens with a nikon D600?.
Does it have the oil issue still
No I think that was a bit over stated I’ve had 4 none had it
That is what scared me from buying it😁
Getting sick of all the new sterile image quality these days. Might go to DSLR because I enjoy the optical view finder. Especially living a life behind to many screens
this is an issue, the sterile image quality is real but there is also a real need for a lot of people to do hybrid work so they still need these new cameras. ideally own both if you need the new features. I prefer the optical viewfinder too but prefer the rear lcd on the mirrorless cameras.
For me the D750 worked better in low light when shooting with flash indoors. The D600 struggled for finding focus fast in low light at indoor events do to bad lighting at venues. Parties, Receptions etc... I have both still.
Yea the d750 is the better camera I think I became very attached to my d600s over time and never really missed anything. I think certain cameras we bond to when we use them a lot even if others are better
d600 or the legend d700? i own a 5d, 5d mkii, and a bunch of sigma dp/sd cameras
It’s a hard one, the d600 is the technically better camera, no doubt but the d700 has something unique. However the d600 sensor is IMO a bit special too actually. Hard choice ideally both
@@MartinCastein what it may come down to me is the autofocus system. is the older but better af system on d700 much better or at all?
I’ve not really missed shots with either but the focus point spread is better on the d700.
