You know every time I watch one of your reviews I am more impressed than before. I love the way you deliver information. You sir are a Rock Star waiting to happen.
Great review! I pre-ordered the D600 also and waiting anxiously for it. Thanks for pointing out all the potential issues and the definite pluses on it!
Very helpful and so well done, Chris. I also appreciate your upbeat nature throughout your videos! I'm not in the market for another camera yet, but this D600 will definitely be in the running when I make my next purchase.
The 2012-2013 was a great period for full frame cameras. Six new models were announced. The Sony α99, Nikon D600, Canon 6D, Sony α7, Sony α7R, Niko D610.
Also the iso / video / things changed so much back then, and nowadays they dont. Im getting a d610 today bc colors and most of things are same as newer cameras, and sometimes better colors. 900$ for a d610+grip+bag+ alot of other things in adorama
Man you guys are awesome! I go on youtube after hearing that a new camera was just announced and what do I see? TheCameraStoreTV with a hands-on preview before anyone else. Not just that, but your videos are very helpful and informative yet enthusiastic and entertaining. Keep up the amazing work!
Chris, thank you for this vid. I've been using my D800 (which I LOVE) for my weddings and a D300 as a back up. I finally decided to upgrade my D300 and I WAS going to get a 2nd D800, but now.....after listening to all of your points.....I think I'll save the money and go with the D600. I've been agonizing over this decision for weeks and you helped push me over the edge. THANKS!!! **Subscribed**
SUPER review. Covered A LOT of details. He had a GREAT knowledge of this camera! I just purchased the D600 and absolutely love it compared to my old D7000. Has many little improvements and some BIG ones too. I went from the D90 to D7000 to D600 and this is truly the best!!! My favorite is the ISO range is WOW!!!!!! I recommend you buy the D600!!!
I've been loving the FS700! The dynamic range has been a huge advantage over the AF100, and I'm really happy with the images coming out of it! Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
The new Sony A99 supports an XLR input attachment, so I think it's only a matter of time. Personally, I'd love to see Nikon and Canon add an XLR battery grip as optional accessory. Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
I got mine today, and love it. Upgrading from a Nikon D90, and he is not lying about the high ISO quality. I did some shots at 5000 and 6400, amazing. You will be impressed.
We were unable to test dynamic range as RAW support was not yet available. Looking at current tests, it looks very similar to the D800, especially in terms of shadow recovery. Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
Great review... Thanks for it :) And also glad you pointed out those important points in your review about the buffer size, aperture selection during live video, the lack of a PC sync although correctable with the AS-15, the 1/4000 even though one can use the native ISO 100 on it and the use of ND filters, etc. Thans!
Thanks man! Appreciate your comment, I can't afford to have both of them, as Chris mentioned the D600 body is magnesium alloy top, bottom and back but not the front however Nikon claims that it is weathers sealed, not sure if it's built to meet the rigid body of a D700.
If resolution is not important, you'll appreciate the improved dynamic range over your D700. It's tough to test, but I'd still consider the D700 to be the more durable body, the the D600 only has magnesium at the top and base plate. Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
Yes, because he's obviously a photographer and knows what he's talking about and is extremely comfortable in from of the camera (and behind it apparently). I agree with Thomas. Well done.
very informative review..especially the power aperture issue in movie lv mode. the very first time i heard this from all sorts of reviews. keep up the good work. thumbs up!
That was a burning question for me as well. I am SOOO happy to hear you say that. I love my 35mm f/1.8 and would have really hated to have to use it in DX mode only. P.S. Thanks for the great review and first look.
I consider the D600 a Nikon classic. 24MP futureproofs. Has every feature. Is relatively small, "shootable". Is a great bargain too due to overblown oil spot issue. (Only affected early production runs, Nikon fixed for free for, like, a decade. Only recently stopped in 2021). I bought 2 bodies four years ago for the price of a new APS-C Fuji (or Sony). You can't beat full frame. The larger image plane is overlooked by TH-cam yappers. It is IQ critical. Not for noise. For 3D pop and depth perception. There is a reason why portrait and pro photogs used medium format and fine arts landscape photogs shot large format. But shhhhh! Camera makers want you to keep paying a grand for cams with tiny sensors, since semi-conductors of this size are prohibitively expensive.
You can use the aperture ring on Nikon AI lenses. Unfortunately, the aperture ring doesn't work with any autofocus lenses. Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
great review! one thing that was not mentioned that probably is important is that there are only 9 cross type autofocus points, sensitive to max aperture of F/5.6. There isn't a center cross type sensitive to F/4 or F/2.8 lenses so people should be aware that 0 of the AF points will have cross type accuracy for F/4 or faster lenses.
You can change aperture, but in order to preview depth of field, you need to flip out of live view, choose your F-Stop, and return to live view. Pretty clunky. Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
The BEST review of this camera, but all your reviews are fantastic. Crazy I know, but I had been saving forever to upgrade from D90 and got tired of waiting for the D800, so I bought a new D700 and used 28-70 f2.8 with the 3 grand I saved. I sort of regret it now, but I needed a new camera because I had weddings coming. I hope it wasn't that big of a mistake. ISO is a huge concern to me and I never take the 700 over about 4000 or so. Most my shooting seems to be in available darkness.
i have a d600. yes the af points are clustered in the middle, but it's not something that you really notice as being a problem. in some situations yes, but generally it's not a problem. bare in mind a d800 would load your card up very very very fast. there's a reason why the d4 has less mp. the d800 is aimed at a specific type of shooting.
Im new to your channel and I must say, your reviews are pretty good! I've been only watching DRTV and DRTV is good, but only on the entertainment side. Yours are informative and you also do more review the bad side of a camera, comparing it with other models and what I really like is that you also do review other camera brands such as Sony etc...
Great review as usual. I know the ISO issue is a big one for some, but let's remember that it is still for photos generally. Look forward to comparing this to the new Canon product.
Tops hands-on vid! 0:54 Very nice macro image. :) Gotta say Chris looked pretty darn happy with the D600. haha The Nikon D800 is a bit pricey but considering what you're getting the price is actually quite good. But with the D600, which retains much of the D800's features and tech, you are getting a bargain at US$2099, although for us Aussies $2688 is a little bit steep. heh But yeah, what a great camera. I am DEFINITELY buying the D600.
One thing that could be added to this video is that the D600 will allow you to switch to DX mode to take advantage of both DX and FX formats. There is an absolutely gorgeous video that two brothers made with the D600; have a look on TH-cam for "Nikon D600 movie chasing the light." You won't be disappointed that you watched it. Actually, that's where I got my info about the DX mode. Highly recommended viewing.
christopher, you are right . it is a d700 in full frame form. it just goes to show that it is easily one of the best cameras nikon has made. for those of us that are not full time professionals or minted, the 600 is a good choice. however, i would say wait for the third batch. an associate of mine went back to using his d7000 for the moment - bothersome dust..
Good review. I have a D800 and a D300. If I was not that interested in detail and wanted a full frame Nikon for the first time, I would probably go for this one. Lens selection is always key for any full frame. The 70-200mm VRII is a great lens. :)
Chris, excellent review, as usual. In fact probably your best review. However, what are you doing testing high ISO in the middle of a sunny day? You know very well it will look fine on even most m43 cameras. You need to test it where it matters, at night in low light, to really see what low light ISO behavior is. Which you did before with D800 and other cameras. Other than that, fantastic review, thank you. I share your comments about D800's slow AF response, sold it off and got 5DM3!
sounds like a great camera and I'm looking to purchase this over the D800...while Nikon didn't cripple the D600 much and skimp on great features which is a relief, the aperture lockup in live view is a bummer mm wonder if you can do the aperture in manual mode during live view... thanks for great review Chris ;-)
This is currently still only rumored. I've talked with Nikon on this and there is still no official word this is coming, or even possible. If there is an update, I'll post about it here. Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
The aperture control in liveview will NOT be fixes in a firmware update!! it's due to the fact that the control of the f-stop is not a problem of software, but actually hardware. Keep in mind, D600 is aim to be light and small, so the design of all the hardware like shutter etc are totally different comparing to D800 and D4. Controlling the f-stop is not as easy as you think, this feature have been taken because of SIZE. P.s D4 & D800 are made in Japan, while D600 is made in Thailand
Just about to buy a used D600 with around 36k shutter count for plane spotting as my first DSLR (upgrading from the P510 lol). Hopefully it is one that wasn't affected by the oil issue or has already been fixed.
Great review ! Best & most detailed Yet, that I've seen. For me it looks like a great entry into FF shooting. I'll wait a few months for prices to come down a bit. Hopefully when Cannon get the 6D out there, Nikon will reduce their "premium" a bit. It's $2,100 in the US but seems to be around $ 2,400 to $2,500 just about everywhere else in the World !
Hi Chris, great Video alot of useful information, 1 quick question though, i own the d700, should i sell it off and get this d600? i dont shoot video, i am concern on the image quality, as many say that a higher MP camera are prone to get blur pictures hand held. Hoping to hear from you soon. Cheers, Bob.
Just got my D600 today. To clarify the point about live view and aperture control. When you're in live view and photo mode, you absolutely CAN change the aperture setting. When you're in live view video mode, you cannot.
this is a little late, but you can use aperture rings on af lenses! go into custom setting menu to controls to customize command dials to aperture setting and set it on aperture ring, this works to change aperture in video live view
That was great review of this camera, I am thinking of changing to full frame form Nikon D300s but still there are some minuses I can't stand, like You can't change aperture while you recording, such a rookie mistake Nikon! I'm so impressed of how good ISO is on this Body,looks like to me it's even better than on D700 with full respect for D700! Thanks for review Chris !
What kind of telephoto lens would be a good fit for this model for day to day shooting? I'm not a pro but just love to shoot great pictures and if I don't have to keep on switching lenses that would be great. Thanks.
I've got one lingering question about the D600 - Can you disable DX crop mode on DX lenses (like in all other nikon FF cameras)? I really like the idea of using lenses like my 35mm 1.8 on FX, ive used them on film and in some situations they look fantastic.
Really enjoyed that. Thanks. You are a very good and natural presenter! I'm an amateur making the jump from point-and-shoot to the world of DSLR. Although I am an amateur photographer, my work involves multi-media so I understand the importance of a high-quality photo. My question -- if I'm considering the D600, would you suggest buying the kit lens and honing my skills with it? Or do you think I should skip the kit lens and invest in something like a 50mm with better optics? Thanks!
Great preview... just a suggestion: could you add to your video intoduction,the gear used;I mean I checked the 20 pages of comments to find the name of the tripod and and the lenses you used, but nada btw I saw that I wasn't the only one,so under the 'filmed on' please add these informations D600? like a few thousands,I ordered D800,but after waiting > 3 months,the AF/green LCD prob I gave up when I learned a 24M was around the corner,now I'm glad I waited,I'll got it...
How are you able to meter in video mode since there is no live histogram. Does the LCD have exposure simulation at least? I can fit AFD lenses to it so I can adjust aperture while recording.
I have to say, this camera looks really good, I am a Canon shooter and I am seriously considering jumping ship, I know is not the camera and they are just tools, but simply this camera is very interesting compared to the new 6D, I'll wait a little to see the reviews, but I am kind of liking the idea to start with Nikon again, thanks for the rev iew
This guy is an excellent speaker.
No the character shines thru.
I've always trusted Chris' reviews more than any other youtube camera reviewer.
Of all the photo channels I subscribe to, this guy is by far the happiest.
The best review at this time ! (nice work, Jordan and Presenter).
A hug from Brazil!
You guys really make the best camera videos! Thanks always!
You know every time I watch one of your reviews I am more impressed than before. I love the way you deliver information. You sir are a Rock Star waiting to happen.
Very polished review...this guy knows what he is taking about, and he is very concise in how he presents the information.
you guys the best reviewers out there for now and you guys are extremely cool!
Great review! I pre-ordered the D600 also and waiting anxiously for it. Thanks for pointing out all the potential issues and the definite pluses on it!
Very helpful and so well done, Chris. I also appreciate your upbeat nature throughout your videos!

Excellent review. Well-paced, not long and boring!
I came back to give this a thumbs up. You guys always do a good job.
these are the best camera reviews by far!!!!! keep it up guys..
This is one of the best camera reviews I've seen! Love the style :D

I know quite a few camera reviewer who have bought this camera and they all love it!
Great video... So helpful and down to earth! Keep up the good work, Jordan.

Best video review of a camera I have ever seen. Great job..
As Chris mentioned, it is the Atomos Ninja II. Brilliant little device.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
This is a super review, not often you get all the questions answered, with decent example photos.
By far, you have given me the most info on this BEAST! Good job on selling me this camera. I will pick one up tomr.
The image stabilizer is in the lenses with the Nikon system. The quality of stabilization depends on the lens used.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
Your channel is catching up to digital rev, recently loving your videos.
I've been loving the FS700! The dynamic range has been a huge advantage over the AF100, and I'm really happy with the images coming out of it!

Great review. You have a terrific style and directness.
Yes DX crop can be disabled. The 35mm F1.8 is a great candidate for full frame use, only about 5% of the frame vignettes.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
Thanks man! Appreciate your comment, I can't afford to have both of them, as Chris mentioned the D600 body is magnesium alloy top, bottom and back but not the front however Nikon claims that it is weathers sealed, not sure if it's built to meet the rigid body of a D700.
Chris has been a Nikon shooter for well over a decade.
You guys are doing a really good job. Love your program.

I've been watching this over and over since you uploaded it just because of your rage at 3:15 haha

My favorite review site!!
I love the way that you do the presentation. It will be more exciting if you do tests on new lens and bodies on all brands.
nice review :) thanks a lot for all of you

The FS700 footage looks great!
Very informative review and nicely paced. Thanks for doing this.
Your reviews are so quick!! THANK YOU!
Zeiss 16-35 F2.8. It's easily my favourite wide-angle zoom for the FS700.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
You can use the aperture ring on Nikon AI lenses. Unfortunately, the aperture ring doesn't work with any autofocus lenses.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
I just got one this week I have a D700 use it in the studio everyday I love the D600 as a backup camera in many cases I think it will be my first pick
great review! one thing that was not mentioned that probably is important is that there are only 9 cross type autofocus points, sensitive to max aperture of F/5.6. There isn't a center cross type sensitive to F/4 or F/2.8 lenses so people should be aware that 0 of the AF points will have cross type accuracy for F/4 or faster lenses.
That's the Nikkor 16-35 F4 VR. Also a very good wide angle.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
Hahaha I came all way to see if the dealbreaker! would make an appearance. 3:15 was priceless.
Thanks! Keep us updated. I read it on some other sites-- I hope it is true even though I currently don't have plans to get the D600.
It will come. Lightroom support always takes a few weeks usually with any new camera.
I envy your job Chris as you get to test gear I can only dream of.
You can change aperture, but in order to preview depth of field, you need to flip out of live view, choose your F-Stop, and return to live view. Pretty clunky.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV
I think they were talking about liveview video mode. You are right though about aperture control works fine in live view for photo.
Yes, everything is fully controllable when not in live-view.
Jordan @ The Camera Store TV

3:50 I must say... that is a lovely horizon angle! All jokes aside, great video.
I noticed you had the lens hood on backwards ...
Great presentation, what is the mono tripod head in the opening sequence? Thanks
Nice review. I would like to see how it compares to the D700. Can you do such a video?
Chris, excellent review, as usual. In fact probably your best review. However, what are you doing testing high ISO in the middle of a sunny day? You know very well it will look fine on even most m43 cameras. You need to test it where it matters, at night in low light, to really see what low light ISO behavior is.

btw I saw that I wasn't the only one,so under the 'filmed on' please add these informations
D600? like a few thousands,I ordered D800,but after waiting > 3 months,the AF/green LCD prob I gave up when I learned a 24M was around the corner,now I'm glad I waited,I'll got it...
How are you able to meter in video mode since there is no live histogram. Does the LCD have exposure simulation at least? I can fit AFD lenses to it so I can adjust aperture while recording.
I have to say, this camera looks really good, I am a Canon shooter and I am seriously considering jumping ship, I know is not the camera and they are just tools, but simply this camera is very interesting compared to the new 6D, I'll wait a little to see the reviews, but I am kind of liking the idea to start with Nikon again, thanks for the rev iew
Yes, preliminary tests show the same ultra wide DR as the D800.
