Bottomline

This camera’ is so good, we’d even say that a lot of people who would otherwise shell out for the D800 or EOS 5D Mark III could consider the D600 instead. It’s really more than just a scaled-down professional camera for amateurs. This is a different tool altogether. It’s a leaner, more efficient DSLR. And that’s exactly what most people need.

Compared to the D800, the D600 is noticeably lighter, which will make a difference during a long day’s shooting. In theory, the D600 will stand up to the same sort of abuse from wind and weather as the D800, too. Overall, we’re pretty taken by Nikon’s newest DSLR, as you can probably tell. We can’t wait to start shooting with it and hope to share some images with you very shortly.
