Nikon's D600 Digital Camera body features a full-frame
24.3MP FX-format CMOS sensor in a compact form-factor. That means the
D600 is both slimmer than a traditional HDSLR and more
budget-friendly. And with a full-sized sensor also comes a powerful
engine; the EXPEED 3 processing system enables features such as 5.5 fps
continuous shooting at full resolution. Also, compact as it may be, the
D600 still fits in a 3.2" LCD monitor.
The D600 also has other hardy features that allow the camera to stretch
for the photographer's needs. Such features include a wide ISO range of
100-6400, which is also expandable to 50-25600. This allows shots to be
captured in a variety of lighting situations, from low-light to bright,
with minimal image noise. The camera also has 39 focus points for
wide-area AF coverage for both stills and HD video capture.
Other ways that the D600 enables the photographer to focus on the job at
hand include features like Nikon's well-known metering and onboard
intelligence. The camera uses the company's intelligent Scene
Recognition System with 3D Color Matrix Metering II for beautiful,
high-def images. This metering takes into account brightness, contrast,
subject distance, and the scene colors for accurate, balanced photos.
The i-TTL flash, auto white balance, subject tracking, and autofocus all
come into play as well.
The D600 is an HDSLR, featuring 1080p HD video capture.
Selectable frame rates include 30/25/24p at the highest resolution and
30/25/24p at 720p. Other useful features at the photographer's disposal
for shooting movies include manual exposure control, full-time AF with
face-priority, dedicated inputs for a stereo mic and headphones,
Simultaneous Live View, and then some.
The Nikon D600 is compatible with F-mount NIKKOR interchangeable lenses
(both FX and DX-format), giving the photographer a wealth of options.
Additionally, the camera can be used with Nikon's WU-1b Wireless Mobile
Adapter for wireless transfer of images to a smartphone or tablet. The
adapter can even be used for remotely capturing images with the D600
using the compatible app.
