UPDATE... First test images from the D600 We've just added resolution chart and sensitivity images taken with the D600 to our site, so if you want to see how... Video Rating: 4 / 5
This is not a review. It's a summary of D600 specs. I've read them on Nikon's website, thanks. This kind of 'review' is a bit like a film reviewer telling you the plot of the film rather than his opinion of it and his reasons. So come on - let's have a proper, reasoned, well-argued review of the D600, detailing what you have found to be its strengths and weaknesses, so we can benefit from your real-world experience of actually using one. Only this kind of information informs a buying decision.
Hello there, are you familiar with "photo SFX art" (do a Google search for it)? On their website you will find a nice free video demonstrating the best way to make incredible pictures. This made it possible for Daniel to create photos that have that wow-effect any time you look at them. Perhaps it will help you also...
Wrong, the Sony RX1 has the same IQ of this camera. Like I said, give it a couple months and you'll have FF mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses (and I'm not talking about Leicas...). DSLRs, as I said, will become obsolete in about 3 years time. Not medium format cameras though - those I can see surviving.
Hello, do you know "Photo SFXart Tricks" (just google it)? On their website you will find a great free video featuring how to take better pictures. This made it possible for Daniel to take pictures that leave you with that wow-effect while you take a look at them. Hopefully it helps you as well...
You need a mirror to see through the lens. OVFs, especially on a FF are bright, clear and don't get grainy and lag in low-light like an EVF, which is why most professionals prefer an OVF. But for you there are tons of mirror-less options, albiet not any with IQ like this camera.
I have got Canon 60D, 17-55 2.8F, 70-200 F4 lens. I do the occasional indoor jobs. I wonder if I should get this for the next upgrade or stick with the Canon 6D. I am not satisfy with my ISO and camera colour at the moment. Maybe keep my 60D as a backup. Any advise ?
You do not know anything about photography. You a teacher? So it is true that teachers are photographers who have failed in the professional world. Who is not good in a field, then he teaches in that field. Postscript: my English is fine, is just my third foreign language. You do not know anything about photography. Convince yourself!
But i guess i'm just saying i prefer a mirror rather than saying its absolutely essential to a camera haha. Also, i read you're a photography teacher, i'm still an amateur. Any tips to becoming a great photographer?
Because thats really the only way of seeing exactly what you're shooting with NATURAL light. The only other way to see what you're shooting is to use live view (which i try to avoid because its a screen, and therefore digitally processed), or to have a rangefinder-like viewfinder, which doesn't frame exactly what the sensor will pick up. With a mirror, you get the luxury of proper framing with pure light rather than digitally processed light.
Because you can't use always the liveview. Because, if you are a professional photographer, already you know it. If you don't know it, you are just an amateur.
NO I am not TROLLING and your answers are idiotic. There are SRLs cameras for specific reasons. If I have to explain the reason for their existence, it is clear that I must ask you if you know the ABC. If you can give up the mirror today, why you have not given up it YESTERDAY? Your answers: "You do not know who I am, I started taking pictures at the time of Laurel and Hardy!", is not an answer.
When I said I was probably teaching about SLRs before you were born I evidently implied I knew what I was talking about. But to understand that you'd have to be a little brighter than you are, so my fault there. About the mirror: why on earth is it so important to you? Are you obsessed with parallax effect in close-up shots in viewfinder cameras or are you just trolling?
You did not yet responded. Do you know which FUNCTION has the mirror in a DSLR? It's not just the sensor. Maybe one day the mirror will disappear, but the technology must have an alternative. If I don't see a VALID alternative, I don't buy any Mirrorless CAMERA. The Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, for me is not an option, not an alternative, not a new better solution. So I still buy the DSLR (with the mirror). Probably forever.
In 3 years time maximum you won't see DSLRs anymore. You currently have 4/3 and APS-C sensor mirrorless cameras as good as their equivalent DSLRs in terms of IQ and performance. Now, the full frame sensors are also entering the mirrorless camera segment. No reason for the bulk of DSLRs whatsoever.
Do you know which FUNCTION has the mirror in a DSLR? In the DSLR of today, there is the possibility to lock the mirror. But before you lock the mirror, before lifting the mirror, the photographer has USED the mirror. It is better to HAVE the mirror. If you have the mirror and if you want, you can lift it. But if you do not have a mirror, you can not put it in the camera. It 's like the pixels: if you have them, you can remove them. if you DON'T have them, you can not add them.
Is exactly the opposite: DSLR are becoming economic, better, BETTER THAN MF like PHASE ONE! The Nikon D800 is better than a MF like Phase One(see DXO sensore score). The cameras without future are the MF-cameras, because we are NOT anymore in the analog time, but in the digital time. A pixel is a detail. More pixels = more details. The "measure" of the sensor are not just a millimeters, but are the PIXELS. Today, the Nikon D800 offers the same quality of a MF but Nikon costs 10 times less.
The D600 is a GREAT camera, it is not a big D7000 but it is a little D800! The D600 has also the best "DXO sensor score" after the D800! I have a Nikon D800, but i think the D600 is no way inferior to her older sister, apart from the pixels and the frames per second. But the 1/4000 are more than enough, if you think a hummingbird flaps its wings up to 100 times per second. From the mathematical point of view, in just 1 second with 1/4000 you can take 40 fotos of that hummingbird.
It looks like another photographer can't get the first shot right that need a higher frame rates. Many sport photographers are like that. They shoots hundreds or maybe thousands and delete over 93%.

ReplyDeleteGreetings! Have you considered photo sfxart tricks (do a search on google)? My mate Alina made some very amazing pics with their video tutorials.
ReplyDeletewhat lens good for ths camera.. im more to outdoor shoot.. pls advice.. thks

ReplyDeleteGive me ONE reason why you need a mirror. One.

Ever use a Leica or Hasselblad mdslrs?
I agree. The title is misleading.
