This is why I watch this channel instead of hyperactive influencer types only interested in the latest, but not always greatest: actual real life professional experience.
right thats it, next video is going to be a hyperactive sony campaign video.
I just found it and subscribed. Very informative videos that actually focus on photography for a change
@@MartinCastein 😂👍
Same here! And I'm very glad Martin's channel is growing. It's well deserved. Cheers! //Rick
100% agree. The D600 files are superb. Still using it in 2024!
I would recomend the D600 and D610. Love mine, use it with the battery grip that is cheep on MPB.
That said i also would also recomend the D200
I have a D610 and battery grip. I managed to buy a reasonably priced 50mm f1.4 for it and a cheap 28-80mm G, too.
What a nice video, happy owner of a D610 here. I paid €350 for it with less than 20'000 actuations. I really dig your overall demeanour and articulation, thanks for all the great videos Martin.
thank you!
Martin mate, I've been a Nikon user since F401x and slide film era. It's really a breath of fresh air watching value added content here. Have just replaced the aperture motor control unit on my D800e (was quite the operation) and also picked up a mint D600 with grip. Took a small Sony APS-C and the D600 on our Japan trip just recently and while you can't beat the autofocus accuracy/convenience of the Sony in fast paced scenarios/weird angles, whenever we had the time to slow down and take photos in a more relaxed environment, the Nikon's image quality just stood out. My wife could immediately spot the pictures taken with the D600.
Thank you for sharing this. Now I want it.
Couldn't agree more, the output of this camera is just so lovely I'll never part with mine. It's a real gem and feels like it was amongst the last of the Nikons to have the filmic colours before they became more neutral (accurate) such as with the D750. Of the current cameras on the market only Pentax, for me, gives a similar feel to the colours. Great vid 👍
Another great video Martin. I have shot weddings with my D610 and also find the files quite pleasing. I quite enjoy your videos that actually have real life experiences.
Thanks for another valuable video. Learned a few more techniques.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an excellent perspective on gear and the approach to photography we should embrace to become better. Most don't have big budgets for gear but we all love great photos and cameras that are capable even if it isn't the latest technology. I own two D610's and can't find a valid reason to upgrade. Thanks for the reassurance!
The d600/610 hits the 'golden mean' almost perfectly.
Aagghh! I’m feeling the GAS! Again! Thank you Martin!
yea, but look at the bright side: it's the GAS on sale with up to 80% off 😃
Great vid! I have gotten to know certain camera and lens combinations so well that in familiar settings, i can immediately tell what gear combo i used. This is making me want to try the D600 to see how the colors look, I've never been 100% satisfied with the D800 colors with my most used lenses.
Still have my D600 since 2012. Great camera
👏🏻 Thanks for the video. I have the D610 and just adore it. I will look for another D610 to keep in my arsenal as it is what you say and more! Cheers....
I agree 100%. It's a fantastic camera and still amazing for handling most jobs.
I also find D600 files a bit nicer than D750. The colours are just right! I have been using 2x D600 bodies for the last 10 years or so (they were bught second hand) and later bought a D750 brand new ... the D750 is only for 70-200mm F2.8 as its able to lock on to eyes..... but D600 stays with 24-70mm F2.8 and does all the work with flash as well when I shoot weddings and events. I only use center AF with D600, so AF is enough for me when i am using the 24-70 or any wider lenses. I love that it has 2 SD card slots, is lightweight and are so cheap as a lot of people are scared of the "oil splatter issue". That issue was resolved after first few batches and any affected shutter was replaced by Nikon even after many years later. I have used this camera many times in light rain and has never let me down.
It's a Toyota Corolla of cameras.
I bought my D600 new when it came out and cannot get rid of it even after a few years with a used D810, which I adore, too, and more recently a Z8. The colors on the D600 really seem to be special. People often comment on the colors of my images from it. While I love the Z8, I can only hope that this love eventually matches my deep love for the D600. There’s still so much newness in the Z8, and it takes time to really know. So far, so good cuz I’m just back from my first trip with the Z8.
I have a D610 and D700. I recently bought a D4. I love the colors of the D700 more than the D610. I'm finding the D4 colors are very close to the D700. The D610 is lighter than the others. Big plus on long shooting says.
I bought myself a D600 about two weeks ago as an upgrade from a D70 that had some issues. The D600 really is a lovely camera and at the current prices a true bargain. I still need to discover all the possibilities and options to personalise the camera settings though. But so far I'm really pleased with the camera.
I bought the D600 a year ago on your recommendation and totally agree with you Martin. I do have a speck of dust in the mirror box but it doesnt bother me. My D600 overexposes slightly, to my taste, so I underexpose one third of a stop to get better saturation in camera output. It makes quite a considerable difference. Cheers Martin great stuff again
yeah they do overexpose and i under expose 0.7 and you can actually set this in the yellow menu on the pencil menu to make it a permanent setting which is what i do on mine. this means its overwriting the built in default zero point for exposure. maybe i should make a shorts video on this.
D600 and D700 User here.
You are 100% right to this camera.
For a general use its one the best cameras i have used.
The only downsides on the D600 for me are the clustered 31 focus points sometimes are a little off and slow (prosumer focus technology??), and its less configurable than the D700 ( the ok button to 100% zoom in review for example).
For me D700 for faster and accurate shooting (daytime street, concerts), and D600 for portraits, events, night street. Although i toggle between the 2 very often.
The colors on both - OH MY GOOD!!!! ( slight vantage to the D700)
You Martin were one of the guys that "push" me into the D600 / D700 and I cannot thank you enough,
Thank you
And the d600 defect of oil rather have a 610, D700 or 810.
@@unbroken1010After all this years most of the cameras that have the problem are serviced or never had the issue. Yes it was a big problem back then but now unless you are very unlucky you can get any D600 without any issue. Mine never had this issue.
@@Decimalminimal then I guess you need to have the buyer prove it was serviced to make sure you don't get a dud
@@unbroken1010 Sure :) . If not it stil a gamble. But still most cameras back then after a few thousand shoots the oil issues were minimum to none.
Still a great camera.
Love the take. I’ve recently found myself adding grain to pretty much every image due to the clean look of the digital files. Coming from the film era where I learnt the craft, I suppose my preference for the look and feel is built in 🍻🤷🏼♂️
This is funny, the "oh if I shot this photo on XXX camera it would have maybe been better" and it requires more work... that's exactly the feeling I had when I tried the D600 after using a D700 for so long... I really didn't like it. It's obviously very good, just not my preference. I would still take a D600 over something like a Canon 5D3 or something like that, I tend to prefer Nikon tones in general.
The only Nikon sensor that managed to capture that "oh it's good to go already" when editing the files that was released after teh D700 was the Z6 / D780. There is a little thing in that sensor that makes me shoot that camera more and more each time I pick it up.
So far my favourite Nikon sensors I think it would be ranked this way (among the ones I have tried) : D700 > Z6 > D300 > D2X > D200/D80 > D600 > D810 > D800 > Z5 > D750. I haven't tried any of the 24MP or 20MP APS-C cameras, nor have I tried the 45MP cameras. I've heard good things about the color rendition of the 45MP sensor in the D850
Great review, I had one when first launched but sadly plagued by the overblown oil on sensor problem!
Still exploring features of my D610. Recently the HDR . Haven't bought any new models after getting it when new. Chose the D610 after reports of oil spots on the D600's sensor. Well mine has got spots too , 😅
Really, weird first I heard of the 610 with such problems
@@unbroken1010 just regular dust spots though. No oil.
Completely agree on the colours from the D600 (and the D610) - some of the best I have ever seen and easiest to work with. Dynamic range is not to be sneezed at either. All round great camera. I will say though, that I enjoyed the D800, D800E and D810 equally as much. Slightly different but I was always happy with the colours and DR from those bodies as well, images were just amazing to work with :)
I love the color and detail from my D850. But it is my wildlife camera with the 200-500mm on it 90% of the time. It is a large very rugged heavy body. I also have a tiny Olympus Pen F that is so good such good images for people and travel etc. I wish Nikon would make something like that in APSC or FF.
We need more recs for older kit. Not everyone has a ton of money and you can do great things on a budget.
Martin, as always I enjoy your content. I started 15 years back with a D90, then a D750 and now a Z7 (I). But I use all 3 of them. At the time, the D600 was on my wish list but I did not have the money. Now it is so cheap that I think about buying one just for the fun of it. It is not much more than 250 Euros. Will be fun to see what you mean with the editability.
yeah they are very editable but they do need editing, the straight from camera look is good still but they take editing really nicely the files.
With my D610, I shot 6,000 photos at a music festival with a stabilized lens and occasionally using live view. Still had 1/4 battery life left at the end. It accepts the batteries from the Z lineup, which are about 300mAh higher capacity than its original batteries. Main gripes are slow transfer rate and terrible low light autofocus, but I'll keep this camera for ever even after I upgrade.
Why on earth you need 6k pictures at a concert? That's unhinged, I get great stuff under 200 exposures. That's nuts 🤪
I had lusted for a D610 since it came out but it wasbeyond my budget. Then Nikon had a clearance sale and I picjed up the D610 with 50mm 1.8 G, battery grip for a price I couldn't resist. I love this camera. There may be better cameras out there in theory but I don't feel like spending 3 times more for some minor improvements. This camera absolutely hits the sweet spot for me.
Thanks for the video and you pointed out two helpful features I didn't know about.
Thanks for this new video Martin. Always a pleasure to listen to you; Precisely, I was wondering about the D610 as a backup body for weddings. I work with a 5D MK IV and an R6 but I've always stayed faithful to film and my Nikon F100. A D610 with the 35mm F1.8 G might be a good option for the skin color rendering that I find so good on this Nikon D600/610.
ohhhh id not mix systems like that personally, get an eos r as a backup instead. youll have a hard time matching looks otherwise. unless you just want one then get one haha
@@MartinCastein Thanks Martin.
Thanks for the review! Have you (or anyone) tried maual focus lenses on the D600?
Great video as ever Martin, I think I might just have a look at the D600, but it's going to have to wait till summer as I've just treated myself to Medium format Rolleiflex TLR with the Zeiss 75mm lens. I do like love a great film camera.
ohhhh very nice!
Martin I always watch your videos even if they are not really relevant to me at the time because your knowledge and the way you present it is superb.
I am a Nikon user from way back, my last film camera was the F4 and now I am just ordering a D850 to replace my D810. I really like some of the
features on the D850 like the tilt screen for example. I do landscapes here in Australia. I might even keep the D810 but it just comes down to money.
Looking forward to your next video, Carl QLD 🇦🇺
i would definitely go for the d850 in this situation i think it will be brilliant for you
Loving my D750 and D780.
Great video (again) Martin. The D600 was my first Nikon camera I took a chance on. The filmic look is often an over used term, but the files really pop for me and I love the colors. Was so impressed with it, I've now fully switched over to Nikon and have stuck with the brand ever since. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the D850 someday on how it compares better/worse to these older bodies in terms of rendition.
yeah i agree the terms filmic is really overused but im not sure what else to call it really. i dont have enough experience with the d850 to say anything but from what ive seen its probably the best dslr ever made.
As a lapsed Pentax devotee, l’m rather more catholic lately with cameras and their lens offerings. Olympus M4/3 light and compact for travel. Retro 4/3 for CCD sensors. Sony A7 for vintage Takumar, Tamron Adaptall, German and Soviet glass. Fujifilm X-1 too.
Mirrorless has replaced the DSLR for the must have ‘new tech’ $$$ consumers. Bequeathing ‘older and wiser’ users the often bountiful aftermath of some great kit.
Last year was Nikon D600, D200 matched with a D300. This year Canon, almost accidentally, as Nikon mounts for birding super-telephotos were prohibitively pricey. 40D, 7D and 6D.
The cycle now swings back to Pentax K200D and Pentax Kr rescued from storage and miraculously functioning. I live in the top end tropics. Is the grail a Pentax K-1 mk ii?
Subscribed here for commonsense advice without the BS. Good show Martin!
I absolutely love using my D610 which I’ve had from new. The images are superb. I just couldn’t part with it.
Hi Martin,
Loved the video, I down sized from a Z7 (Superb) to a D810, and could not be be happier.
The quality of the images are superb and a choice of lenses at silly money compared to the Z range.
Don't get me wrong the Z7 has features that the D810 does not have, but if you don't need them that is all they are ... features.
Good vid Martin!! My little brother makes good money shooting weddings with a D610...I feel the same about my D500, there is no replacement for it!
I used a D600 for a short while as a second camera. I agree the files are lovely. However, for me the AF didn't cut it. It would hunt far too much and I missed shots as a result. As a personal camera it's a really lovely one to have but I couldn't use it at weddings. I also must say, the Nikon 28 f/1.8G is one of my all time fave lenses and I still use it loads on my Z cameras.
Thank you Martin! I have just purchased a D610 and am looking forward to getting to love it as much as you love your D600!
Hope you enjoy it!
I am liking the D610. The only thing I haven’t been able to do yet is make it jump to magnify on the focus point with the centre button in Playback. That’s something I can do with my other NIKON bodies. If anyone knows how to make this work on a D610 please let me know.
Good stuff Martin. I used the D610 for a while, cracking camera but unfortunately my copy had back focus (even with micro adjust set and regardless of lens).
Sold it, bought a 5D classic and very happy so far!
Definitely will pick up another D610 at some point though, and a D700 too :D
Yay, nice overview with great tips (definitely gonna try that back/front-button focusing/spot-metering technique)! Love my D600 but it's funny hearing it being praised for its compact size and light weight. Since having bought one as my first full-frame DSLR last July, I'm still getting used to the bulk and weight of this camera after having spent nearly a decade with the D3300. Certainly wouldn't want anything heavier and its nice to still have the D3300 as a featherweight option for less demanding tasks.
Mirrorless offerings hold little appeal for the modest performance improvements (low-light / high-ISO being the main one of interest for me), and the need for an FTZ adapter with good F-mount glass I already own makes them positively unattractive. Besides, showing my age perhaps, I have a soft spot for SLR camera systems and optical viewfinders. I never understood how taking these away became a feature costing a lot more money.
I picked up a d610 just because they're so damn cheap, plus a 50mm 1.8g. also have a 5D classic, 5D2, and RP as my main. Have a 6D but the screen died.
I always thought this was obvious, but so many users surprisingly do not see it. Congrats on bringing these points to the wide audience, especially on of this camera's image beauty.
i think if you know then its obvious but if you dont then you are fighting against all the marketing to find out. its a great camera isnt it.
Nikon never disappoints.
What are you throughs on 5d mk4?
well i think its actually a very good camera, i owned it for a while, if you like the idea go for it.
The points advanced about the that camera are valid. However, the only area I do not agree with is the focus system. My D600 had oil spot issues. Nikon exchanged it for a D610. I noticed the auto white balance and focusing was better. In time the focus system would struggle in on location shooting. I upgraded to the D810, and the focus system was much snappier and accurate than the 600 series.
Last year I tried using a D610 again with a 80 - 200 F2.8. It was a bit frustrating to use. It would often not lock on the subject. Yes, it was an outdoor and studio shoot.
My feeling with the d600 series is it’s very lens dependent, I’ve never had any issue on the newer g lenses personally.
@@MartinCastein i will give you that. the 50mm f1.4g was a lens that focused reliably. You could say the d610 became unable to do what i needed it to. hence the move to the d810. i kept that camera 5 years. now shooting mirrorless nikon.
Really enjoy your content. Because of you, I've been looking to upgrade my camera! Maybe just a little bit. Shooting now with D7000 and contemplating the D7200, D600 or D810. Looking for a deal. Thanks for the insights. PS I'm more of an "opportunist" photographer shooting landscapes, street and ......
if you do landscapes the d810 might suit you better as may its better focus system.
Hi Martin. I've been watching your videos for a few days now. I am an advanced photo amateur. ( landscape, street photography, still life and macro ) I'd like to start shooting with a full frame DSLR. I like fixed focal lengths. I started with film in the early 90s. Then I switched to digital in 2016 with a Pentax aps-c. I currently have a Fujifilm (X-T3). I shoot a lot with 35mm or 23mm and 16mm for landscape ( on APS-C ). I'm leaning towards: Canon 6D or Nikon D600. Which of the two do you recommend? Thank you. Greetings from Italy.
Thanks for the great video. What do you think of D600 for sports/action?
not really the best for that, buffer is too small and focus not great for fast action.
@@MartinCastein Are there any other older cameras that you like for action, or is that a case where newer is better because of the improved focus and tracking?
Hi, if possible please can you make photo comparison side by side taken from d610 VS d750 , when you apply color palette, I wanted to see color tone and skin difference.
I've got the D610 and have been looking at the sony a6400 because ou the autofocus. I wish the D610 had the D7100 autofocus system. I own both and a fusion of them would be perfect. Also, the raw files tend to be greenish.
youll probably just end up back at the d610 because you will be swapping one thing thats nice to have(autofocus on the sony) vs something you cant replicate(d610) but like me, you will probably have to go through this process yourself to confirm it, id just suggest if you get the a6400 keep the d610, because at first you will be so happy with the focus then you eventually turn back to the d610, probably.
Great video, question: is the D610 using the same sensor and color results? Or does it change? would you recommend the D610 ? thank you
as far as i know the same so buy either, d610 fixed any oil issues but honestly i think nikon fixed it on most of the d600 cameras as well and then had to rebrand to save the series. I think it only affected the first batch, its a nikon thing.
Sadly my D610 has a bent aperture feeler. I love the pictures from it
That’s a shame
The d810 is basically the same price if your patient. I would go with d610 because of the d600 oil problem. Though I do agree two SD cards would be better then a cf but it essence it's just back up. I have only ever had one SD card fail. Buy decent ones and not cheap knock offs
best camera ever made D4s...
Ohhh could well be
When, in live view I can't see what I'm shooting, i use the expostion compensation to brighten the image on the back screen, adjust my composition, and back to 0, its a quick walk around this annoying missing feature
I found that as well. One thing I did realise though was that the metering was actually pretty good on this camera. So if I framed it through the viewfinder, then used the back screen (or even through the viewfinder) just to get the metering right, the images were almost always right straight out of camera, or easily editable due to a great dynamic range. :)
The photos do seem to have a rendering reminiscent of film. I have not used Nikon since the film era, but I can see why you are so fond of the D600.
Which camera strap was on the camera please, Martin? Sorry to go off topic, but it looks like a good design, and I am after something like that for use with my 6D and light weight primes...
I will check later for you, i was given it by the makers about 10 years ago, i cant remember why, i will check though.
@hywel3143 it’s by imo if you google imostrap it’s really good actually, I have two of them. Very well made.
@@MartinCastein Thank you!
Q: Martin, for the D750 which 50mm lens would u recommend from other manufacturers ? I tried a used Nikons 50mm 1.8g and returned it. Inconsistent focus, maybe bad copy.
Martin, I don’t know if this has already been mentioned but the Nikon D600 did have that unfortunate issue where it would splatter bits of crud around the mirror box and onto the sensor. Nikon HQ’s initial reaction was disappointing until there was a class action suit taken out in America and I think something similar in Europe. I bought the D600 when it came out and liked it but I possibly over-reacted and my pants went on fire over the possibility that my model would throw stuff around, so I changed it for something else. All that being said I’m sure a second hand D600 from a reputable vendor will be tickety-boo. Enjoyed your video as always.
That put me off buying one and I ended buying a Canon 6D. Nikon lost out by their appalling way of treating their customers as I spent a fortune on Canon glass and now I’m stuck with Canon.
yeah i remember it well, i think nikon were fixing it as they were releasing them, its just what i think based on feedback from people, i think later batches werent affected.i bought 4 and they were all fine, they had to rebrand the fix as the d610. nikon have always been awful at stuff like this. i think most are fixed now anyway. could always go for a d610 to be sure though, which is what id do now, its just i have this 1 d600 left from my original batch of 4 for weddings.
Well Martin I need to stop watching your videos just before I go to sleep. Last night I dreamt I had two weddings to photograph on more or less the same afternoon. I had a Nikon F5 and a Hasselblad but I realised I didn’t have enough Fuji 400H for each camera and I was in a bit of a panic and the light was fading too. Funnily enough I did a wedding many, many years ago for a couple on a shoestring budget. I shot only two or three rolls of film on my battered Rolleicord . So roughly 36 exposures to choose from. I think a lot of wedding photographers would have nightmares if they were restricted to three rolls of 120 film. I know I would. The groom at this wedding became a good friend but not until a couple of decades later when he moved into a house a few doors down from me. I had completely forgotten I had photographed his wedding until I was on a mammoth negative scanning session and found the original negatives and thought “wait a minute, that looks like…”. It was him. You could have knocked me over with a feather but we had a good laugh about it. 😂 BTW, I’m not hankering after a Nikon D600 again. No dedicated back button focus? I’m using a second hand but minted Nikon D200 just now. I feel the files from this camera is the closest I can get to a film experience. I have the disadvantage of growing up as a film photographer, so digital leaves me a bit cold and film is stupidly expensive now.
Wow what were the chances of that! I have a very similar recurring nightmare where I turn up to a wedding can’t find my memory cards and 10% battery life left, had this dream many times I think this is a common theme with wedding photographers!
Hi Martin. Does everything you have said about the D600 pretty much apply to the D610 as well? Any noticeable differences between the two cameras?
all applies yes, same camera.
I really would love a Tier-List of Nikons on Rendering. :)
hahaha yes this is good idea!
@@MartinCastein thx for considering it! Either single brand or multibrand. Then we'd know your preferences!
Regarding exposure preview, does Nikon have an equivalent of magic lantern?
i dont think they do, now im thinking about it i feel like there might have been at some stage. but no i dont think so, hope thats a crystal clear answer for you.....
I thought I would be happy with a M43 camera and some decent lenses. Main reason? Size. But I just packed it all up and have a D610 on the way. I have owned them before but I need to get over the greener pastures syndrome. I miss the smoothness and DR of the D600 which is still near cutting edge when compared to the expensive Z cameras. The D600/610 are very manageable when using smaller primes. You know I might even become a 50mm guy. Keep the choices to a minimum. 🤔
Another excellent Nikon camera amongst the many.. I was looking at a D600 and they’re around £350.. but what I did get for £50 is a D70.. although not full frame and only 6mp the images are brilliant.. the sensor is not CMOS but CCD… looks very Kodak.. what do you think of the older Nikons like the D70?
I loved my D70. I finally got rid of it for more megapixels (I think marketing got to me), but mostly because my old eyes needed a larger rear screen. By the way, I still have a D2X, and at ISO 100, I'll put its images up against anything. The image quality is amazing.
Yes John those older Dxx bodies are excellent, i have the d60, i will share some pictures some time. I should make a video about that actually. my second shooter shot a wedding on it once with me. great sensors.
@@MartinCastein - Picked up an excellent D40 last year. Such a fun little thing to shoot with for the price of a deluxe pizza.
I’m not a professional by any means but I am considering selling some of my other later gear because the end result (the picture) is often as good.. Maybe I’ll just keep my D70 canon RP and Olympus EPL 1 and work on my composition skills!!
I have d600 and d780, I agree photos from d600 better than d780 but d780 much much faster autofocus and more enjoyable to use
Bugger! I'm sold again. Another one for the 'classic' collection.😂
hahahah sorry!
@MartinCastein I'm thinking of getting the 85 1.8G and using the setup for portraits. Are there any lenses you have a soft spot for on the D600 Martin. Thanks for your time.
The 85 1.8g and 35 28 1.8g and 50mm 1.4g 70-200 2.8vrii
I have 1 question i'm been photography for over 2 years now useing my Sony Mex 5R I'm ready to step up to a full frame from a Apsc, i'm looking at the canon 6D mark 1 or the Nikon D600/610 , would love your input i'm planing on starting my weddings photography so i would love your advice
both are good options, the iso on the 6d is better than the d600, d600 has better focus overall and better dynamic range and more friendly to shooting auto iso in aperture priority, 2 memory card slots vs 1 on the 6d. Plus nikon has an excellent 1.8g prime range that canon cant touch. So my choice for weddings would be the d600 always for weddings. 20mm 1.8g 35mm 1.8g and 85mm 1.8g, add a used 24-70 2.8g the non VR version and 2 x d600. you can do a lot with that setup and a couple of flashes.
Thank you for your advice
Sorry for the continuous question is it ok to buy a D600 with the shutter replace and currently have 136000 clicks on it going for 400 Cdn? Should I buy it, or should I wait?
So TRUE ! I return all the time to my D300, D700 and my D610 (same as D600). I think, I'm going to sell my D850.
Compare to my Leica (M10, Q3, SL2), the D850 doesn't have "Soul".
My prefered Nikon: D300 ! But D610 and D700 are awesome too.
My prefered Canon: 5D Classic and 1DX Mark I.
what an excellent collection!
@@MartinCastein , You push me to test and shoot 😂. Pat Domingo too.
Glad to admire your arts.
Sell the d850? Thats the best they've ever made
yeah i wouldnt sell the d850
@@MartinCastein , Ok ! I will try to keep it into my collection :D
When you say easily better colour rendition than the D800 and D810 etc… do you include or exclude the D850?
exclude the d850, i think its very good.
Very helpful, down to earth and pleasant to watch, as usual:) I own the D610 and D700 and love both. Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Does this apply to the D610 as well?
yep
What actually makes the difference in the colour? Do they have different sensors? I have the D810.
different sensor and raw processing.
Didn't this model have that oil problem?
Was it fixed then with the d610? Cheers
only seemed to affect early batches of them, i bought 4 with no issues.
Martin don’t they have an issue with the sensor collecting oil?
i think it was an early batch and nikon fixed it for free, probably some about with the issue still, i bought 4 and never had a problem.
I think people need to be a little wary with D600s out there. Some sensor issues that had a free replacement program that they finished in 2020. Hopefully the seller had it replaced before. I believe the D610 only exists because of this issue.
they were mostly fixed and it seemed to only affect the first batch or so but yes still some caution needed.
It was an overblown issue. You clean the sensor and keep shooting. It resolves itself over time anyway.
I have also have the D610 and mainly use it with ais lenses and thus manual focus. The image quality then is exceptional. When are you going to do a video about these great lenses. 50 mm f2.0 is far better in contrast than the new lenses and so on. And really cheap to acquire. You don't have that with Canon. A minor con for me that it is quite easy to change the setting from raw to jpeg by mistake because that button is one above the iso. That is really annoying!
I sold my D600 for a Nikon Z6, I miss my D600
Mirrorless suck - DSLR D600, D750 & D850 are my kit on every project - the Z7ii is left in the bag unless I am shooting video
That had the Sony A7 processor, right?
yes thats right, its a very different colour range to the raw files though.
'(the downsides) are kind of significant, and you should be aware of it' yeah like the oil-spot-on-sensor issue!!!!
Only affected first batch and was mostly fixed for free.
@@MartinCastein Still an absolute must know before buying this camera used imo.
also 12mp was enough; 24 it's a nightmare if you work with raw files
😀 I barely deserve my 5D II and D200 !
My friend has 5D II and me D200...so could You explain little more your stance ...Thank You
hahahaha!
No Martin, stop it 😂. I already got the 5D classic, 6D Mark I, D700, X-Pro1. My GAS has got to stop 😉
hahahahaha! sorry!
I didn't have it, just tested it for a second, I think AF points are not (manually by humans) well calibrated from factory as it is for d700. AF is garbage, IMHO, unless one messes up with its bottom and make those hardware adjustment. Maybe you got lucky with that copy
i had 4 of them and never had any issues with focus nor did my second shooter. I think a lot of this comes from "camera reviewers"
Nooooo, not you again! I've just added a minty Canon EOS 40D to my collection (for +/- 35 GBP) - and it's mostly your fault! Now this thing...;))
hahahahah that really made me laugh!
When are you going to do a video with a Canon 40d ?? Would love to see that video!!! Like this video!!!
I would pass on the D600 and get the D610 to not risk the chance of the oil or dust issues. There are credible/real reasons the D600 was replaced within a year. Anecdotal evidence may say they're fine, but the overwhelming majority had issues, enough that Nikon had repair programs in place that covered even out of warranty cameras. Nikon is god awful when it comes to customer service, they've stolen thousands from me on trade-ins (received it both times, I have the proof by signature/address, and then they just never mentioned it again or gave me credit) and I'm far from being alone. If they actually put in a program in place for repairs that even covered out of warranty, then it was a large problem. There's a reason the D600's are both rare and inexpensive, that's almost never a combination that screams quality (nobody bought them in the 11 months or so they were on market, and nobody wants them).
i felt more like it was the first batch, because from what I can see it seems like nikon fix a problem without admitting to it, i dont know that for a fact it justs seems that way to me. Then the fallout was so bad they had to rebrand it with the d610 badge on the fixed cameras. As someone that was really into this range at the time when it came out there was a lot of talk of it being fixed but the d610 was just a branding thing to regain trust. I cant really disagree with anything you are saying as such. Screwing up the first batch of a product is almost a product release strategy for them.
@@MartinCasteinCorrect Martin. I had it on pretty good authority back in the day from someone who worked for Nikon that it was not a design fault, more a manufacturing issue. Only affected a relatively small number of bodies from the earlier production run. They were initially selling like hot cakes and QA was basically insufficient.
“Dust” was an added issue only because all camera bodies collect dust, but once you mix dust with a little oil it becomes a significantly bigger problem to remove. The rebrand was just that, the name D600 having been completely sullied. Great camera, Nikon could and should have handled it all very differently, although in the end they did do everything they could, including repairing out of warranty bodies. Though in most cases, given a certain number of actuations, a thorough clean was really all that was needed. Only a very small number had a replacement shutter mechanism fitted.
If you do find one used now, it will almost certainly (99.9%) have already been fixed, or much more likely, it never had a problem in the first place. And it will most likely be a bargain.
And for disclosure, I only shoot Canon DSLR so I have no vested interest in Nikon at all. Just wanted to share in case it helps allay any fears. Cheers.
this is the reason D600 is so cheap. People are scared of it because of this bad publicity.
Great new for me! I got them real cheap even back then! Only some cameras the first batch or two was affected...and Nikon replaced the shutters for all affected ones and fixed all issues for free...essentially turning them into D610. I have owned 2x D600 since 2013 or so ...they are still perfect!
My D600 has the oil spots issue. Got a HQ sensor cleaning kit for Visibledust and I saw a dramatic improvement right away with the images, the spots slowly crawl back after more use but it's hardly ever an issue for me. The value of the D600 you get on the used market now is amazing.
Does this apply to the D610 as well?
yes exactly the same
Thank you a lot.
