    What an excellent, enjoyable and sensible video. I bought mine about 8 years ago, used. I have built my set up around this camera. I sometimes think of upgrading. But i think what is the point. 24 mp is more than enough. It does everything I want to do. Sure its a bit heavier than the new mirrorless, but I use a monopod or tripod most of the time, si it's not an issue. I have all nikon glass, so the results (image quality wise) are just great.

    The d610 is the best FF camera on the market today price wise. It’s a masterpiece. I’d like more pixels to print big, as I like to have the option to view details from a close distance sometimes. However, for the time being, using good glass with it produces stellar results.

    Thanks for this. My workhorse is also my D610. I bought mine new. 2022 was a year of creative block and I really needed to hear this video.

    That button in front of of the camera at the bottom is the Fn button. It is used as a short cut to camera functions that can be set up in
    custom settings. Among other things. Your videos are terrific. You positive upbeat attitude is uplifting to my moral.

    I've never seen any of your content but I did enjoy this video I typed in Nikon d610 just to see what videos are out there because I just ordered one it's in mint condition with 930 shutter clicks, on its way from Japan. I paid $460 for it. It should be here soon. I'm excited to receive it. 📷

    I bought the D600 when they first came out. Due to the shutter dirty issues. Nikom sent ,me the D610. I still use my D610 regularly it has been a wonderful camera.

    I’m here because or your recent drop 7/16 and you mentioned the 610. I’ve been making a little coin with my photography lately, so I can justify an upgrade. I know it’s an older camera, but most my glass is Nikon, so I’d like to stay with a Nikon camera. I was looking at the Nikon DF because it reminds me of my F4, so the learning curve would be low. The price of a D610, however fits the present budget and I won’t have to wait for my tax return. Any thoughts on DF vs the 610? Thank K.

    What a refreshing perspective...well done. I just purchased a D610 from MPB for $504 (shutter count 405!!!) and hope to get it tomorrow. I traded my D800e for a lot of reasons and yes, I tend to leave my Leica M and SL home...sigh. This video was a great reminder of why we are photographers and what is important. Just subscribed...thank you for a well done video. RJ from Doylestown

      @@sdhute Went with a D3 instead for $400. The D750 has a fold out screen which might be more useful in the longrun. vs D610. D4s is around $800. These were KEH prices in Ex+ so shopping around may yield some savings.

    Thanks for sharing Ken! The Nikon D610 is definitely a great camera. I sold mine with 315k exposures (still worked great) for a Nikon Df. Your proof that we should not discount digital photography. I also shoot film, but there are times I just take the Df out and shoot street. Sometimes I just take the Nikon D3 out, it’s large, it’s full frame, but I get great 8x10 prints, which is about as large as I make 35mm prints, if I print bigger then that’s what I use the D800 or Medium Format for. Different tools for different jobs.

    I also use a D610 for my everyday camera with a Tamron 28-300 lens (and an old 18-35 Nikon in the bag if I grab it. It's a decent camera, although I can't brag about the ISO on it. It's not what I pack if I'm going on any planned shoot - but it's good at catching things on the spur of the moment. I enjoyed the video - thanks for taking the time.

    $500-$600 for a D610 with reasonable shutter count. Certainly there's lower priced ones out there. I'm looking at the D610 now as my first full-frame.
