Nikon D610 Review

 

Just a year after the arrival of Nikon's full-frame D600 in the fall of 2012, its replacement arrived in 2013. The D610 is the exact same as the D600 but with a new shutter mechanism that boosts continuous shooting and adds a 'Quiet Continuous' mode....

Nikon D610: Not newsy but still a nice camera

 

There are some internal differences, but from a user perspective it's pretty much the same as the D600.

The ; continues the D600's tradition of a great set of shooting features, comfortable and intelligent design, and excellent photo quality and performance.

Photos still display some unrecoverable clipping in the highlights that you don't expect in a camera of its caliber, and unlike the overhauled D5300, the D610 requires an extra-cost Wi-Fi dongle for connectivity.

Though competition's increasing for low-end full-frame cameras, the Nikon D610 holds its own; that said, while slightly faster than its predecessor it's not a whole lot different.

Nikon D610

 

The Nikon D610 is a very minor update to the D600; its burst rate is slightly faster, but otherwise it's the same camera.

Excellent high-ISO quality. Uncompressed 1080p workflow. 6.1fps shooting. 39-point AF system. Compact, full-frame body. Sharp rear display. Dual SD card slots.

No GPS, Wi-Fi, or PC sync socket. Compressed control layout. Must initiate autofocus manually during video recording.

Nikon D610 with 28-300mm VR lens

 

About a year ago, Nikon introduced the D600 , the first sub-$2,000 full-frame dSLR to hit the market. Unfortunately, there were some issues that subsequently surfaced, like a problem with dust and oil spots caused by the shutter mechanism that a large...

Nikon D610 Review

 

The Nikon D610 is a full-frame digital SLR camera featuring a 24.3-megapixel FX format sensor, 39-point AF system, 14-bit analogue-to-digital conversion and a glass prism optical viewfinder with 100% frame coverage. The new D610 is identical to the...

Officially the Nikon D610 adds just 3 new features to the one-year-old D600 camera, none of which are going to compel D600 owners to rush out and upgrade. Unofficially, we suspect that the D610 has been rushed out to fix the "oil on the sensor" issue...

Nikon D610 Review

 

The Nikon D610 is the camera last year's D600 was supposed to be, with a redesigned shutter mechanism that eliminates the dust-and-oil spot issue that plagued its predecessor. The new D610 keeps the affordable full-frame DSLR price point, as well as...

Eliminated sensor dust-and-oil spot issue from D600; Great controls for amateur or pro; Comfortable ergonomics and weight; Excellent image quality and low-light performance; Very good dynamic range; Excellent battery life; Built-in lens correction.

Not drastically different from D600; Moire with certain subjects; Auto WB still too warm in incandescent light; Slow AF in live view mode; Aliasing in videos.

Nikon D610 Digital Camera Review

 

Nikon fortifies the D600 with minor updates.

While smaller, lighter, full-frame mirrorless cameras might be an inevitability, the D610 is as good as enthusiast-grade full-frame shooting gets for the time being.

Camera Review: Nikon D610

 

Has Nikon's new, lower priced, full-frame DSLR solved the dust/oil problem of the previous camera?

An excellent, compact and inexpensive full-frame DSLR that seems to have resolved the dust/oil issue of the previous model

Not much else new on this camera
