Just bought my second D610 today to replace my original D610 that i will use for back up at my wedding. Love the cameras, perfect for me with the weight at a wedding and produce some great images.
I still rock with my 2 Nikon D610 's for videos primarily and occasionally photos (bought them from a wedding photographer for an excellent deal) ... Despite I can easily afford to get a D780 there's no point, it's the law of diminishing returns... I probably won't get floored with the D780 quality wise
Thanks for commenting! My man. Dual weilding the 610s. I imagine you'd have to hump up to the 800 or mirrorless range to notice anything. Speed and pointless (my opinion) features add $$ from 610 to 700 series.
Hi there. I started my photography 10 years ago, I first bought and used Nikon D3000 then after 1 year, I bought Nikon D90. I used both cameras for my paid photography services and personal use. I really pushed the capabilities and limits of those cameras.. So fast forward to 10 years later, which is this year.. I bought Nikon D610, of course I have or need to upgrade to full frame dslr. My lenses are of course Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens, Nikkor 50mm f1.8D, Nikkor 24-120mm f3.5-5.6, Tokina 28-70mm f2.8 AT-X Pro, and Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 with macro. Maybe someday I will buy Nikon D850.. Wide lens and 70-200mm f2.8
@@ZWadePhoto you're welcome! yes indeed! I bought my Nikon D610 body brand new, with 1 year nikon warranty and it includes original nikon battery grip mb-d14, 16gb sandisk sd card, camera bag and other freebies from the camera store.. Promo / discounted price: IDR 11,702,000 = USD 830 = PHP 41,441. The reason I included three currencies is because I am a Filipino living here in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I was into photography for awhile, had the d7000, d3100, and d3000. Sold everything about 5 yrs ago and they same thing happened to me, I got that feeling of missing it, started driving me crazy sometimes, ended up having more free time with nothing really to do, so I ended up with the Nikon D600 which is basically the same as the D610 and I love it.
I’ve just ordered a Nikon D610 because many reviews say that for its price it is an awesome camera. Now this is eight years after the camera was first brought to market by Nikon so you’d think that it would have been sold out by now. But no!! This thing is still available NEW. Am I interested in 4k video...no. Using it for portrait, am .i going to worry about its centre clustered auto focus and metering whilst using my Sekonic meter, no. For me, this camera has the highest spec sensor and best color science for about $900 USD. That’s a Full Frame camera for a song. Twin SD cards for twenty bucks instead of $200 XQD, for me is the way to go. Do I want to shoot ten frames a second, never. Getting a reputation as a “beginner FF camera” has had many avoid it because of snob value, what is really an excellent camera. The Alabamie Kid
I got into photography via my young brother he was changing his system to Fuji xt3 and he offered me the Nikon D7200 and a 17- 55 f2.8 DX lens a 12-24mm f4 wide angle-a 18-140 3.5/5.6 a Sigma 105 f28 macro and a nikon 70-300mm f4.5/5.6 VR. 2 Flash guns and triggers.All it cost me is a weeks worth of work decorating a 3 bed flat above his shop which his old tenant trashed. Had to gut everything. but I did not mind as I did it through lockdown here in the UK. I have only used a few of the lenses. Not sorted out which subject to go down as yet so will get used to the kit I have and if I like it,after learning what to do then will think about FX at a later time. Thanks for your video. Merry Christmas and Stay Safe .

I bought my D600 used in 2017 and it is still a great camera , I have never had the oil on sensor problem and would buy the same again or the D610 , I usually use screw drive AF lenses or manual focus lenses from the 60's to the mid 1980's and I also still use my D90 as it also is still reliable .
I totally hear you! I REALLY wanted the D850, but it was just too expensive. I eventually saved up 3K and it was time to chose a camera. I knew I wanted a full frame, but the D610 was sold out on Nikon's website and all the other online deals weren't as good. Eventually, I settled on the D500 with the kit lens, and had money left over to get two more new lenses to go with it. I gradually got a few used lenses, a battery grip, changed out the optical viewfinder for a magnified version and got the better rubber eye piece. I love the D500 with it's speed and amazing low-light performance......but I am still hungering for full frame :(. There is a store near me that has a used D610 for $600 (tax included.) I am not sure what the condition is....but I am itching to get it.....
Thanks for commenting! Just make sure the shutter count is LOW. When 610s are in stock you can get them for under 800 body only. Try Amazon if you haven't.
i still have my d7100 and still happy with it and would add a d610. these cameras are a good value now, and still great. I had sold most of my nikon stuff as well and lost interest in photography and just kept a d7100 and three lenses but want to get into the astrophotography and landscapes . d610 seems like a good deal to me now
Absolutely agree on the value mention. I’ve been telling people who don’t have any photography experience to start full frame with DSLRs instead of mirrorless because you can get full frame camera for the price of what beginner camera used to cost. Even on a pro level, honestly, still good choices
I'm a photographer for the Seattle hockey team "Kraken" First I shoot with Nikon because many of the photographers around me shoot with Nikon so we may help one another if we need a lens or camera. My primary camera is the Nikon D3. My back up is the D610. I have NEVER had two cameras compliment one another as well as these two. in the many years I've worked. The 610 is a great back pocket back up.
The D610 and the Df are my favorite Nikon DSLR's. What many people miss when looking for a new camera, is the difference between using one, and shopping for one. There's a huge disparity between internet shopping and using a camera in real life. The D610 appears middle of the road and bland when shopping online, let's face it, but when you use one it's a completely different story. From the feel of the grip, the big viewfinder, the solidity, the surprisingly quick and accurate autofocus, to the gorgeous files, it just starts to really impress you. It's just the right size, heft, price, and sweet spot in performance. I've used it for action, landscape, low light work, and it always comes through. Spec hunting leads you to a cliff every time, using a camera is the only way to know if you'll like it or not, price has nothing to do with it.
I just picked up a D610 (Kit, Nikon grip, 50mm , Wifi adapter) from B&H for $896...at that price I could not pass it up...and I am loving it , that price still stands FYI
Thanks for subscribing and commenting. I think the D610 is a steal at full price, a d it being on sale is just that much sweeter. Leaves room for a nice piece of glass!
Great Video!!! I still shoot with Nikon d610. Like you I bought the D610 twice. Just a great do it all body from Nikon. It does what I need it to do. No fancy bells or whistles. Now I’ve shot with the D810 & D850; granted they are amazing camera bodies but I haven’t needed to upgrade even to the mirrorless nikons yet. But as long as I can still use my lenses, I’m good. I have 95% Nikon lenses with the one exception, I have the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 first version lens and it’s glass still kicks butt! But I love my Nikon 24& 85 f1.4’s. And I have had my 70-200 forever. Can’t see myself parting ways. The Nikon 55mm micro is a sleeper lens. And I love the Nikon 105 f2.5 for portraits.
Currently have an Olympus Pen e-pl9 and I love it but am looking to upgrade! Found a refurbished D610 on Adorama for $799. This video really sold it to me, will be buying once I get my paycheck on friday!
Awesome!! I'm so glad I could be informative for you! Be prepared for some expensive f mount glass. But make sure you watch my lens videos because I cover some awesome affordable full frame lenses!
Hello. I havet thought about the Nikon D7000. But then i found the Nikon D610 and i'm thinking about to buy this thing now after i whatched your video.
I switched from the 77D to the D610. I miss the video quality of the Canon, but the D610 is great! I'm really happy with it and will probably never part with it. Also, the one I got was in rather rough cosmetic condition at a bargain price so it wouldn't be cost-effective.
Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you like the D610. Personally, I’m a photographer first, so video features are that important to me, but if you’re a regular hybrid shooter, you can upgrade to mirrorless when you run that d610 into the ground. Good luck with that though my first d610 shutter shit 50+ thousand actuations past its rating lol
I've just purchased a Nikon D 600 & a D 610 , 24 meg at full frame is all we need , it's an affordable price & even some of the lens's are dropping in price , the down side on these cameras was the oil on the sensor , but i think all that has been sorted , hence this must of been ten years ago . Wishing you the very best of luck with your photography .
The d610 exists because of the oil issue. There is a change your 600 could still have the issue, but if it doesn’t, hey man that’s 2 great cameras to dual wield
Oil issue really isn't an issue unless you shoot at F16 or more, all it takes is cleaning sensor a few times and it goes away or can still send to Nikon for free replacment
File setting: JPEG, Image quality 100 Color space sRGB, Limit File Size (uncheck/greyed out)”do not limit file size) Image sizing: All Boxes unchecked, resolution 300 pixel per inch (anything over that is useless anyway) No output sharpening Post processing: “Do nothing” Side note, I save everything in JPEG, and on projects that might print, I save separately as TIF
I got a d610 for the low entry price into full-frame, and I find it lacks nothing in functionality when paired with the right lenses. I'm glad Nikon is keeping the F-mount relevant with the d780, that will be my next upgrade. For a maximum size/performance camera system, my Ricoh GR-III is still a better 'mirrorless' configuration than anything else for me, so I feel no need to abandon the DSLR for a MILC anytime soon.
I agree that Nikon’s images are second to none. I had the D90 which was awesome for a DX camera. I switched up to a D7100 and finally I settled full frame with the D780. Pricey, but it fit my needs perfectly. As far as mirrorless, there really don’t have any earth shaking advantages over a DSLR. They are battery hogs, if anything. The D780 battery lasts over 2k exposures vs. mirrorless at a few hundred exposures per battery. With a great lens, Nikon is hard to beat.
Hey, how do you find the d610 for manual focusing lenses if you have ever tried? I am interested to know how accurate the focus confirmation is please. Thanks
Good morning. And thanks for commenting. As far as I am concerned it was very accurate. If you find it not to be so, it could be a lens focus shifting, which I never had an issue with with any of the lenses I shot with the d610. Hope this helps
Mate. Great video I have been using the nikon d610 for a number of years and take portraits and video. I am not happy with video, but photos I am. You stated low light it's great, would like to know people's / your settings.
I don’t really have settings exactly because I shoot in RAW with most features like noise reduction off. I kind of treat digital cameras like a film camera honestly ha
I've been working with a d610 for almost 4 years but the shutter broke down and the repairment guy offer me another d610 almost new for 450dls, that was an steal. I would loved to Buy a d810 but for the half the price, it's a no brainer
Tnx for supporting what i tought! Just bougt great price d610 today :) so happy back to nikon from fuji. First time FX camera. Before fuji i had crop. What lens u use?
Thanks for commenting. I use a plethora of lenses. Haha. In my D610 day, all time favorite was Tamron 45mm. What is your photo interests? That’ll help me recommend something for you
Funny I’ve watched this twice and also watched your z videos. Now I’ve been thinking about playing with a Nikon dslr. I found I like doing the opposite of of others are doing 👍👍
good info man. I know that feeling of getting rid of stuff and getting that itch agin. I"m going thru it right now. I had the D750. I wasn't aware of the D610 until I went online camera store and looked their used Nikon's. So I looked it up on RUclips and seen your video.
You want to check the output of the Canon 6D classic, colours and contrast are stunning. D610 has flat colours but great dynamic range. What is it you like about the D610 colour?
@@ZWadePhoto the D610 seems to have a brown cast and compared to cameras like D700, D4 , D300 series the saturation levels are a lot less. Not sure why Nikon changed it. That’s my finding , this is why I asked what it is about the colour from the D610 (not just Nikon ) that you like , do you think it’s accurate?
That’s very odd. I think you got a lemon. I’ve never known anyone to mention a brown cast. If you can afford it, you should experiment and rent a d610. I’d like to see that.
@@hadencraghead2150 RAW and Jpeg . But if I upload the RAW files into Lightroom , I find the colour stronger on the canon and more punchier than on my D610. For example the reds look more red on the canon . 👍
I Am am D610 and cannot be more pleased with the camera ergonomic s and use. I have shot everything from wildlife to basketball. Now I am shooting portraits and boudoir with the D610. I. am thinking about getting a second body now as well. The D610 is easy to learn, and for the money skip the crop bodies and just get a D610. you don’t need the high end over priced bodies. Good video .
Agreed. The D610 is amazing. I'll disagree with the D850 being "overpriced" though. That camera is pretty savage. But does one NEED it, mostly no so we agree again! Thanks for commenting!
You will never know how good the Canon is until you chose the video pathway... I'll say both brands were designed with different consumers in mind, and Canon colours are so amazing if you know how to use it... Yes, for photography, I'll give it to Nikon
I disagree with the color comment personally, which is fine because it’s all subjective, but One thing I do appreciate about canon is how well they listen to feed back and innovate accordingly. Nikon on the other hand, it’s what THEY believe. Haha super traditionalist. Thanks for commenting.
Just an inquiry (if you can remember), where could I find the video where you selected the Nikon pictures over the canon? Would love to compare for myself :D
Am currently using the d610 but am struggling using it.. especially with the full frame. What lens are you using with yours. Am using a 35mm prime lens with mine because is what I could afford to get for now...
I look and see if you actually have the 35mm Dx. Which is a crop sensor lens. If so, you’ll have a dark circle around every image. What you want is the D series www.keh.com/shop/nikon-nikkor-35mm-f-2d-af-wide-angle-lens.html It’s a full frame lens. Super cheap and a real damn good lens
Do you shoot any astro with it? I too don't care or need nor will use anything the d750 has for features over the D610 but I'm trying to figure out if they'd both shoot the Milky Way at the same quality level or not.
Thanks for commenting. I have not shot astro with it and honestly although interested, I havent gone to a good location to try. But I dont see why it couldn't.
Many portrait and boudoir photographers don't use ultra-sharp mirrorless cameras and lenses. Instead, they use DSLRs or, in extreme cases, film. This saves time during post-production when smoothing the skin among other things. Here's the bottom line: Many photographers who used to do their own retouching can't do it anymore because they don't have the skills to deal with today's mirrorless cameras' ultra-sharpness and high megapixel resolution sensors. This means that photographers have to pay for an editor, which cuts into their profits. This is why so many people are going back to DSLR cameras. At the end of the day, it's all about making money, and no one wants to give that up, especially given the economic hardships photographers had to go through during the lockdown.
I shoot Pentax in the digital world K5 iis K1 etc. for various reasons. But I am well aware of Nikon and its strengths. When I saw the D610 kit on B&H I didnt blink - boom, in the shopping cart.
I found one with over 1 million shutter actuations. Should i get it? And im not joking. Apparently it was used in a factory, so thats why its so high. Normally, they would use the camera to shoot several images of each products, amounting to thousands of images per day.
Im thinking about getting the d610 over both the d750 and d700 for an everyday step up from my d3200 I only shoot in manual and raw so its pretty much exactly the same as a d750
hey me too, i was thinking of buying the d610, but i dont see many reviews, so im scared a little bit. but it looks like it is the cheapest fx dslr of nikon, and not too bad. what do you think?
Hey all thanks for commenting. If you havent purchased, just consider if the features are worth the cost. Personally with the things I shoot, I wouldn't benefit from the things the 700 series offers. If you shoot action get 700s, if you don't, 610 and save some money!
I ended up getting the d700 in the end colour rendition and depth of field im getting from it are truly mind blowing not to forget it's built like a masterpiece solid construction
I Have cannon nikon in my opinion cannon look better that me and dark skin looks better lf I use the flash helps but you Can't go wrong with way Sony no way
what does sony have to do with nikon on this blog? your english(if that is what is) is terrible. your comment had nothing to with this blog. can't even spell canon correctly. @ZWadePhoto was very congenial in his response
Fck it! Hahaha!! glad ive purchased d610, may i ask whats your picture profile and settigs to it? I have flat standard i want to see nikon colors in sooc can you help me brother? Thanks cheers from philippines 🇵🇭
So don't give up your photography, but please DO give up the rude language. It is entirely unprofessional and I make decisions on who I work with based on whether I can stand to be around them. Bad language is like a loud huge stinky gas cloud coming from someone. Best to not just repress the language, but use nicer words to convey your meaning. It may also make you look more intelligent.
I only use such language when shop talking which is what much of my old content was, not while at work in the field. None the less I invite you to check out my newer content, which meets your desires. this is old content, that I keep up because most people don’t mind the language. I cleaned up on my own desire. Thanks
Hey dude, great video -you say EXACTLY what I needed to hear to decide in favor of the D610. Thanks!
Thanks! And thanks for commenting. Enjoy your d610!
I use the d800 and d610 for photography, mostly weddings.
I can say that I like the d610 more.
It has a bit more precise focus and smaller files to work with.
I have tried many canon dslr in that range and none have raw image quality like d610.
For that price, that camera is probably the best thing you can buy on a budget for photography.
Absolutely agree. People dislike the fewer focus points, but for how many you get I did find it to be a tiiiiight focus.
Thanks for commenting
I’m planning on upgrading here soon from the D3300 to D610. From what I’ve researched it’s a very great camera as you are talking about. I’m excited!
You might check these videos out that I made, because Z5's are actually not only newer, but cheaper than D610's :)

@@fangli Hi thanks for commenting. I do not, that was more prevalent in the d600's. Im sure it could happen, but it has not with me.
@@fangli I have not had that issue
I bought that same kit back in February. Prob one of the best deals ever at that price.
Great Video!!! I still shoot with Nikon d610. Like you I bought the D610 twice. Just a great do it all body from Nikon. It does what I need it to do. No fancy bells or whistles. Now I’ve shot with the D810 & D850; granted they are amazing camera bodies but I haven’t needed to upgrade even to the mirrorless nikons yet. But as long as I can still use my lenses, I’m good. I have 95% Nikon lenses with the one exception, I have the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 first version lens and it’s glass still kicks butt! But I love my Nikon 24& 85 f1.4’s. And I have had my 70-200 forever. Can’t see myself parting ways. The Nikon 55mm micro is a sleeper lens. And I love the Nikon 105 f2.5 for portraits.
Nooooice my friend! Thanks for commenting! I’m all in on mirrorless these days, but the 105 2.5 is one of my all time favorite lenses.
Currently have an Olympus Pen e-pl9 and I love it but am looking to upgrade! Found a refurbished D610 on Adorama for $799. This video really sold it to me, will be buying once I get my paycheck on friday!
Awesome!! I'm so glad I could be informative for you! Be prepared for some expensive f mount glass. But make sure you watch my lens videos because I cover some awesome affordable full frame lenses!
The best thing about the d610 is color so amazing...
Oh yea it has super good output. Nikon in general has lovely color output.
Hello. I havet thought about the Nikon D7000. But then i found the Nikon D610 and i'm thinking about to buy this thing now after i whatched your video.
Well I’m glad I can help Raul!
I switched from the 77D to the D610. I miss the video quality of the Canon, but the D610 is great! I'm really happy with it and will probably never part with it. Also, the one I got was in rather rough cosmetic condition at a bargain price so it wouldn't be cost-effective.
Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you like the D610.
Personally, I’m a photographer first, so video features are that important to me, but if you’re a regular hybrid shooter, you can upgrade to mirrorless when you run that d610 into the ground. Good luck with that though my first d610 shutter shit 50+ thousand actuations past its rating lol
I've just purchased a Nikon D 600 & a D 610 , 24 meg at full frame is all we need , it's an affordable price & even some of the lens's are dropping in price , the down side on these cameras was the oil on the sensor , but i think all that has been sorted , hence this must of been ten years ago . Wishing you the very best of luck with your photography .
The d610 exists because of the oil issue. There is a change your 600 could still have the issue, but if it doesn’t, hey man that’s 2 great cameras to dual wield
Oil issue really isn't an issue unless you shoot at F16 or more, all it takes is cleaning sensor a few times and it goes away or can still send to Nikon for free replacment
Sir, when you export JPEG in lightroom, what are your setting you keep file settings 100% quality and Dpi resolution 300 ?
File setting: JPEG, Image quality 100
Color space sRGB, Limit File Size (uncheck/greyed out)”do not limit file size)
Image sizing: All Boxes unchecked, resolution 300 pixel per inch (anything over that is useless anyway)
No output sharpening
Post processing: “Do nothing”
Side note, I save everything in JPEG, and on projects that might print, I save separately as TIF
I got a d610 for the low entry price into full-frame, and I find it lacks nothing in functionality when paired with the right lenses. I'm glad Nikon is keeping the F-mount relevant with the d780, that will be my next upgrade. For a maximum size/performance camera system, my Ricoh GR-III is still a better 'mirrorless' configuration than anything else for me, so I feel no need to abandon the DSLR for a MILC anytime soon.
It won’t be long until F is “dead” at which point I’m buying all that stuff cheap for film haha. Thanks for commenting
I agree that Nikon’s images are second to none. I had the D90 which was awesome for a DX camera. I switched up to a D7100 and finally I settled full frame with the D780. Pricey, but it fit my needs perfectly. As far as mirrorless, there really don’t have any earth shaking advantages over a DSLR. They are battery hogs, if anything. The D780 battery lasts over 2k exposures vs. mirrorless at a few hundred exposures per battery. With a great lens, Nikon is hard to beat.
Thanks for commenting John!
Hey, how do you find the d610 for manual focusing lenses if you have ever tried? I am interested to know how accurate the focus confirmation is please. Thanks
Good morning. And thanks for commenting.
As far as I am concerned it was very accurate. If you find it not to be so, it could be a lens focus shifting, which I never had an issue with with any of the lenses I shot with the d610.
Hope this helps
Bought d600 works great
Right on brother!
Mate.
Great video I have been using the nikon d610 for a number of years and take portraits and video. I am not happy with video, but photos I am. You stated low light it's great, would like to know people's / your settings.
Exposure triangle. When I say it’s great in low light I means it’s performance in higher ISO is less noisy, and it’s details in shadows is good
I don’t really have settings exactly because I shoot in RAW with most features like noise reduction off. I kind of treat digital cameras like a film camera honestly ha
I've been working with a d610 for almost 4 years but the shutter broke down and the repairment guy offer me another d610 almost new for 450dls, that was an steal. I would loved to Buy a d810 but for the half the price, it's a no brainer
Thanks for commenting.
That is a steal. Glad you got it replaced!
Agreed on the D810 mention.
Tnx for supporting what i tought! Just bougt great price d610 today :) so happy back to nikon from fuji. First time FX camera. Before fuji i had crop.
What lens u use?
Thanks for commenting. I use a plethora of lenses. Haha. In my D610 day, all time favorite was Tamron 45mm. What is your photo interests? That’ll help me recommend something for you
Funny I’ve watched this twice and also watched your z videos. Now I’ve been thinking about playing with a Nikon dslr. I found I like doing the opposite of of others are doing 👍👍
Right on brother 😎😎
good info man. I know that feeling of getting rid of stuff and getting that itch agin. I"m going thru it right now. I had the D750. I wasn't aware of the D610 until I went online camera store and looked their used Nikon's. So I looked it up on RUclips and seen your video.
Nice! I’m glad my video has gained that much traction! I hope you’ll subscribe and check out my other video if F mount lenses. Lenses for commenting
You want to check the output of the Canon 6D classic, colours and contrast are stunning. D610 has flat colours but great dynamic range. What is it you like about the D610 colour?
Hi thanks for commenting. I disagree. Every Nikon I’ve ever owned had robust amazing colors.
@@ZWadePhoto the D610 seems to have a brown cast and compared to cameras like D700, D4 , D300 series the saturation levels are a lot less. Not sure why Nikon changed it. That’s my finding , this is why I asked what it is about the colour from the D610 (not just Nikon ) that you like , do you think it’s accurate?
That’s very odd. I think you got a lemon. I’ve never known anyone to mention a brown cast. If you can afford it, you should experiment and rent a d610. I’d like to see that.
@@davidcollins4227 you shoot in RAW right?
@@hadencraghead2150 RAW and Jpeg . But if I upload the RAW files into Lightroom , I find the colour stronger on the canon and more punchier than on my D610. For example the reds look more red on the canon . 👍
Just picked one up. I needed an upgrade to my Nikon system.
Excellent! They are a steal in value right now. Thanks for commenting and take care!
This is me. I sold my d610 2 years back and then bought a new D610 even though I was so close to getting a used D800e
Tha ks for commenting! Its a great camera I dont care what anyone says haha
I Am am D610 and cannot be more pleased with the camera ergonomic s and use. I have shot everything from wildlife to basketball. Now I am shooting portraits and boudoir with the D610. I. am thinking about getting a second body now as well.
The D610 is easy to learn, and for the money skip the crop bodies and just get a D610. you don’t need the high end over priced bodies. Good video .
Agreed. The D610 is amazing. I'll disagree with the D850 being "overpriced" though. That camera is pretty savage. But does one NEED it, mostly no so we agree again! Thanks for commenting!
You will never know how good the Canon is until you chose the video pathway... I'll say both brands were designed with different consumers in mind, and Canon colours are so amazing if you know how to use it... Yes, for photography, I'll give it to Nikon
I disagree with the color comment personally, which is fine because it’s all subjective, but One thing I do appreciate about canon is how well they listen to feed back and innovate accordingly. Nikon on the other hand, it’s what THEY believe. Haha super traditionalist. Thanks for commenting.
How funny! I too had a d610 and soled it but after a year I bought another one. It’s just simply the best FF camera for the money.
Thabks for commenting. AGREED!!
Thank you 🥂
You’re welcome 😊
Just an inquiry (if you can remember), where could I find the video where you selected the Nikon pictures over the canon? Would love to compare for myself :D
You could simply type, nikon vs canon images. If that doesn't do it I can try to find it. Thanks for commenting
Am currently using the d610 but am struggling using it.. especially with the full frame. What lens are you using with yours. Am using a 35mm prime lens with mine because is what I could afford to get for now...
I look and see if you actually have the 35mm Dx. Which is a crop sensor lens.
If so, you’ll have a dark circle around every image. What you want is the D series
www.keh.com/shop/nikon-nikkor-35mm-f-2d-af-wide-angle-lens.html
It’s a full frame lens. Super cheap and a real damn good lens
@@ZWadePhoto thanks so much
Do you shoot any astro with it? I too don't care or need nor will use anything the d750 has for features over the D610 but I'm trying to figure out if they'd both shoot the Milky Way at the same quality level or not.
Thanks for commenting. I have not shot astro with it and honestly although interested, I havent gone to a good location to try. But I dont see why it couldn't.
Love this video
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for commenting!
610 EXLLENT CAMERA THIS IS TRUE
It is a great camera! Thanks for commenting
Many portrait and boudoir photographers don't use ultra-sharp mirrorless cameras and lenses. Instead, they use DSLRs or, in extreme cases, film. This saves time during post-production when smoothing the skin among other things.
Here's the bottom line: Many photographers who used to do their own retouching can't do it anymore because they don't have the skills to deal with today's mirrorless cameras' ultra-sharpness and high megapixel resolution sensors. This means that photographers have to pay for an editor, which cuts into their profits. This is why so many people are going back to DSLR cameras. At the end of the day, it's all about making money, and no one wants to give that up, especially given the economic hardships photographers had to go through during the lockdown.
Oh yea man the z6ii is sharp, but the 7ii is rather offensively detailed. Great for art, not so much for hired work lol
i am a nikon d610 user too
Great camera. Thanks for commenting!
Just wanted to ask if you have had any issues with the AF speed and AF points on D610 ?
Appreciate your video. And obviously subbed.
Back in the day, no, but im probably spoiled on mirrorless now.
I shoot Pentax in the digital world K5 iis K1 etc. for various reasons. But I am well aware of Nikon and its strengths. When I saw the D610 kit on B&H I didnt blink - boom, in the shopping cart.
Thanks for commenting! I have not shot pentax unfortunately, but the D610 has served me so well over the years, and im sure it do the same for you!
I have a D600. The Live View doesn’t work. Major disappointment for me.
Never used the 600. Is it a lack of feature or is it broke??
@@ZWadePhoto D600’s Live View doesn’t show the results of aperture or exposure adjustments. It is not WYSIWYG. The D610 shares the same flaw.
I found one with over 1 million shutter actuations. Should i get it? And im not joking. Apparently it was used in a factory, so thats why its so high. Normally, they would use the camera to shoot several images of each products, amounting to thousands of images per day.
Only if it’s free just in case it does decide to give.
Im thinking about getting the d610 over both the d750 and d700 for an everyday step up from my d3200 I only shoot in manual and raw so its pretty much exactly the same as a d750
hey me too, i was thinking of buying the d610, but i dont see many reviews, so im scared a little bit. but it looks like it is the cheapest fx dslr of nikon, and not too bad. what do you think?
@@filipk5467 im still undecided but im really gravitating towards the d700
Hey all thanks for commenting.
If you havent purchased, just consider if the features are worth the cost.
Personally with the things I shoot, I wouldn't benefit from the things the 700 series offers.
If you shoot action get 700s, if you don't, 610 and save some money!
ZWade Photo thanks!
I ended up getting the d700 in the end colour rendition and depth of field im getting from it are truly mind blowing not to forget it's built like a masterpiece solid construction
I Have cannon nikon in my opinion cannon look better that me and dark skin looks better lf I use the flash helps but you Can't go wrong with way Sony no way
Thanks for watching
what does sony have to do with nikon on this blog? your english(if that is what is) is terrible. your comment had nothing to with this blog. can't even spell canon correctly. @ZWadePhoto was very congenial in his response
The biggest difference is that Nikon has a Sony sensor.
The Z9 is Tower Jazz. I hope Nikon continues to do this instead of being tied to “Nikon designed, Sony manufactured”
Thanks for commenting
610 itis Great Camera
That it is! No one talks about it much because the 750 didn't cost THAT much more. But, its a good cam.
Thanks for commenting.
Fck it! Hahaha!! glad ive purchased d610, may i ask whats your picture profile and settigs to it? I have flat standard i want to see nikon colors in sooc can you help me brother? Thanks cheers from philippines 🇵🇭
I shoot raw. I don’t use any of the cameras preset. If you want to use one I’d go with the one I think is called neutral
So don't give up your photography, but please DO give up the rude language. It is entirely unprofessional and I make decisions on who I work with based on whether I can stand to be around them. Bad language is like a loud huge stinky gas cloud coming from someone. Best to not just repress the language, but use nicer words to convey your meaning. It may also make you look more intelligent.
I only use such language when shop talking which is what much of my old content was, not while at work in the field. None the less I invite you to check out my newer content, which meets your desires. this is old content, that I keep up because most people don’t mind the language. I cleaned up on my own desire. Thanks
