The D610 also had the oil and dust issues, and the D750, which that had a Sun Flare issue too.. I just bought a used D600 a few days ago, it is 7% used, no more oil left to drip out.. What lens are you using?
@@MGalaxy wondering if you or anyone around here tried firmware hack on 600 or 610 and results. As far as claim above goes 610 was released as part of resolution to grease on sensor issue which occurred in very few 600 models. You can read other comments here most 600 owners didnt get the problem
@@diegoo.9487 I've also owned a D600 since launch and have shot a few weddings with it with no issues. Unless you're printing murals, then 24 megapixels is still quite sufficient in 2020 and the low light performance is very good. If you intend to do video work, though, then the camera is quite outdated in that regard.
I purchased the D600 camera in like 2016 used for around 800$. I did have the sensor oil issue. I lived with it for about a year as it wasn't really bad. Then i sent it into Nikon for the D610 free shutter replacement. Turn around was quick... about a week. So far 3 years later and thousands of pictures 0 issues. This review hits it right on the head. If you can get this or a D610 used it is more than adequate enough for pretty much anything you wanna shoot. I really enjoy shooting with this camera. 👍
Nikon d610 scores 94 points, d750 93 points, and Canon 6D only 82 points, in terms of dynamic range, Nikon d610 leaves all Kenons far behind! d610 is higher in color depth than d750 and than all the Kenons in a crowd!
It's November 2021 and I'm still using and loving my D600 which has never had the oil issue. I use it often with the Tokina 16-28 f/2.8 for landscapes, use the 35 f/1.8 as my standard walk around kit and when I need a zoom it's the superb 24-120 f/4VR. I agree 100% with your excellent review!
If you are buying an old full frame camera, then you must be on a budget. Being on a budget means you should probably also consider the price of lenses. And this is where the Nikon wins over the Sony - it has a lot of cheap old lenses, especially those without AF motor in them.
Not really. Sony being mirrorless, you can adapt almost any lens on it including the same old Nikon glass. With nikon however, you are almost exclusively limited to Nikon glass, even vast world of m42 lenses are no go. So, Sony wins hands down.
@@ceaschannle5752 I agree, but only if you can afford to focus manually, from the standpoint of being able to do your job. If you need AF, which most people do, Nikon is the better option - Sony's lenses are much more expensive.
@@slooob23 If we are talking Nikon DSLR, no, Nikon does not come even close, the distance from lens to the sensor is prohibitive for most lenses, Sony can use almost any lens made, including full frame rangefinders. Nikon, well its stuck with only Nikon glass and third party that are no longer made. Sigma, Tamron, Samyang, etc are being made for Sony, however, they all discontinued DSLR r&d lineup and production.
@@slooob23 You can use all of those lenses on used A7 and all the other budgets lenses that none of Nikon DSLR' can . It's much more limited camera platform. I bought A7 for $369 and A7S for 400. Exceptional quality m42 lenses can be less then $50 to 100 . If that's not a low enough budget, you need a different hobby. Also, when using manual lenses on DSLR vs mirrorless is pita, mirrorless with focus peaking wins every time.
Nikon or Canon all the way!!! Thanks for the video!! I'm planning a surprise birthday party for my wife, and she told me to upgrade my camera. I'm getting the Nikon D600!!! This is her special day!!
I’m in the market for a FF camera, a D600 or Canon 6D are my top choices because I really don’t want a D800 size FF, as much as I love that camera. Since I’m partial to Nikon, I’ll probably grab a D600/610. Looking at my old images from my D800, D7100, I just can’t ignore the dynamic range issue, and that’s where I think these Nikons have a big edge over similar generation Canon DSLRs. Well done video, thanks.
I bought a D600 used in 2017 and 7 years later I have never had any oil on sensor problems and I am still happy with the excellent picture quality and if I need to replace it in the future I will try to get another D600/610 from the same dealer as before.
January 2022. Right after Christmas I got one used in mint conditions for €570. It is now the companion to my D810. I chose from D610, D750, D780 and Z5 and got as much information as possible to make the decision. This video was helpful as well. Especially the unability to change aperture in live mode is the biggest drawback for the D610 in my eyes. However, other than that, the D610 was a bargin for it's price and what it delivers, which gave room to purchase in addition an A-grade AF 180 f2.8 IF-ED lens for € 365. After-Christmas double strike 😀👍 I find the image and low light performance already fantastic. A lot of reason to smile 😁

I purchased a D600 at launch. I went through many different APS-C cameras over a few short years before buying this. I had a Nikon D80, then D300, then D7000 but I wasn't very satisfied with the image quality. Then I purchased the D600 at launch and have been using it quite happily for I guess now 8 years. Still an excellent camera for stills. I was even lazy for several years with regard to the free service for the dust issue, but I was surprised that they were still offering that until early this year and was able to get the shutter issue serviced even after 7 years. I believe they've stopped doing the free servicing now, so I agree that D610 would be a safer purchase on the used market.
I have the D610. It produces excellent quality images. I only buy Nikon products. They are sheer quality. My cable remote, as an example, was £30, but i know it wont let me down. The D610 is 24mp, but that is plenty. It really is a superb camera. It's a bit heavy, but, because of my age, i use a monopod a lot of the time. I hate unsharp photos. My previous camera was a D80. I still use it when i need lightness, although old now, and 10mp, it still produces stunning results. I have built my system around the D610. 16-35mm FX. 35mm FX. 50mm FX. 85mm FX. 24-85mm FX All great lenses. And they work just as well on the D80. I dont need to spends thousands of pounds (which i dont have !) upgrading to the latest mirrorless models for no discernable difference in image quality.
My D600 has ASTOUNDING low-light performance... everything under 3200 is easily useable with very low to no noise... dynamic range is amazing also. It's in the Top 20 for low noise performance at DXOMark for good reason. It comes highly recommended here
If you are like this guy your pictures are just shitty pictures in even lower light . Its garbage . You can not buy skill , you can rent a model and take some portrait pics , but still without skill its just going to be garbage
I've just ordered a mint D610 in late April 2024. I love my D3x & D3s bodies, but I wanted something smaller & lighter to carry around. The Canon 6D mk1 would be a good alternative, but I don't want 2 systems. I've had a Z6 mirrorless and FTZ adapter for 6 months (which I bought to do the light weight walk-around job and try out mirrorless), but I've sold it as I don't like the Z6 as much as the Nikon DSLRs.
Still own the D600 since it came out with the 24-85 kitlens, no issues, great camera, I love it. I also use my old lenses. I have the old E series wich are quit good. I also own a D5000 with the 18 105 lens. Thanks for this review.
I just ordered the d600. I didn't know about the issue with the shutter but as I plan on using this camera only for the next year, and its shutter count is already at 44,000, I think it is going to be a great intro body to full-frame for myself, moving from the d3200 as my intro camera. I am awaiting the package tomorrow with a prime 50mm f/1.8g to start shooting the world in full-frame!
Don't stress about the dust, even if your D600 has the dust issue, it's not really noticeable unless you stop down a lot. At wide apertures like f/1.8 even down to f/5.6 you won't notice the issue. It's really only at f/11 and beyond that it becomes apparent.
Ciągle siedzę w D trójkach ale d610 jest fajną, lekką pełną klatką a do tego ma dwa sloty. Teraz z drugiej ręki w śmiesznych pieniądzach w stosunku do tego co oferuje. Warto go kupić jeśli ktoś nie ma parcia na bezlustro i nie chce wchodzić w używkę pierwszego A7 z jednym slotem. Zostawiam kciuka w górę :D
I own 2 D610’s. I love shooting with them. I don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon. Only when they don’t work anymore, will I upgrade. To me it’s just not worth it.
I can confirm that you can use a Nikon D600 for Streaming. (I assume that the D610 will work as well, both are cheaper to get than the other full frames). Didn't turn off after hours and hours of streaming. Use the film live-view and cycle through the "info" button to get rid of all ui-icons. You can still change ISO, focus, etc live. Obviously set the live view to infinite in the settings and use an akku-power adapter and hdmi mini out cable. The Vitesun power adapter costs 20$, a cheap hdmi-usb adapter 12$, the Cam can do 720P@ 60fps and 1080@30fps, which is plenty for streaming.
I still have my D600. the shutter was replaced and the photo quality sensor is amazing still today! I see no reason to upgrade the body, just invest in better glass.
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.
I'm thinking about getting a used D600 as backup/second camera: the handling and picture quality seem be good! In germany, you get a used Nikon D600 for arround 400€, which is really cheap! The only downside I see is the little AF area ...
For about the same price I bought an A7ii(travel camera). But the lenses will break the bank. I also have a Sony A99ii(work camera) and although the body was more expensive, I saved more than the difference buying some fantastic lenses. Any of the 24mp + Nikon’s or Canon’s will save you money over a mirrorless especially on lenses.
I'm currently on D3200 and looking to make a jump to the D610 due to having accumulated few lenses and other gear. I've heard that it doesn't support AF-P lenses though.
It's Nikon first children/mommy camera that is 1/1 sensor. Used is less than $211. Canon & Nikon users are selling & going to those Sony amateurs camera like A7 series
I have focus problems on Nikon D610 while shooting in auto mode. Photos are slightly blurry in auto mode. However, in P (program) mode I don't have that problem. Photos are very good and sharper than the ones in Auto mode. Any ideas? I use 24-120 VR lens.
Got my d610 few months ago on eBay. After some time it freezes randomly. I need to remove the battery, wait some time and try again. Really puzzled by the behaviour.
Thanks.I'm torn between this ( or the D750) and mirrorless. Battery life and low light performance are important. Sony A7 suffers from poor battery I believe, though the Sony video is better than D610. If I;m not going for video, then Nikon appears a better choice. Tough decision though. Many years ago I bought a Sony camer and batter was awful then too, so it worries me than the problem persists, at least at this price range.
Congratulations for the video, I own a Nikon D600, I would not exchange with any other camera, but lately I am evaluating the transition to the Sony A7 II, which uslla paper is lower in terms of general image quality, dynamic range, high ISO etc ... Would you do this step? Thank you!
Ha! I'm considering going the other way! I miss the ergonomics and the OVF of my old Nikon DSLR but I do like the low light capabilities of my Sony a7II and the light weight. Focus Peaking is a really cool feature on the Sony which I'd miss but I don't think I'd lose any sleep over it
Hi, I enjoyed your review. For the money, I would give the edge to the D610, even though I previously owned the A7 and liked it. What I did not like about the Sony was that I needed an expensive motorized adapter to use older Minolta auto-focus lenses, which made the camera heavier and more difficult to handle. Plus, as you said, the Sony battery life is poor.
@@xzsdfvdfbv fun fact: they bought the Alpha division from Konica Minolta, which was their consumer camera division. Idk i kinda like to tell weird facts
hi i bought my D600 last year for 400 Euro it worked fine. but i gave it to the local Nikon service and i get a new shutter and cleaning . but this free service ended januar 2020
@@p_nilly Nikon was offering this as a free service until January this year. It was because there was a design defect which caused the shutter to build up a lot of oil and dust in the D600. The D610 was updated to resolve the issue out of the box.
I've always used APS-C & MFT mirrorless cameras but wanted to try FF so I got a D610 on ebay. Yes, the IQ was excellent but compared to MILC the handling was primitive - no instant feedback, loud clunky shutter, so I got a Sony a99 and couldn't be happier - lighter, quieter, live photo style view (I do a lot of B&W so that's very important), lots of quality cheap lenses because A mount is discontinued, IQ is second do none.
I would say I would go with the D800. However I've heard that some of them are also affected with the sensor dirt issue but that may not be the case. Anyway I recommend doing some research online. As for the performance I am all for higher resolution D800. I've used D810 and that was the best camera that I've tested to this day :)
D800e with no aa filter, d700 is a classic but a very old camera with 12mp and most of them are beat. D610 is better and cheaper alternative to all of the above.
Nikon d610 scores 94 points, d750 93 points, and Canon 6D only 82 points, in terms of dynamic range, Nikon d610 leaves all Kenons far behind! d610 is higher in color depth than d750 and than all the Kenons in a crowd!
Still have my D600 that I bought new in Sweden, it has mostly been lying in a drawer. I always felt that it was too heavy to carry around all day. But image quality was and is stellar, great camera for serious photography. But I use mainly Fujifilm and Panasonic these days.. I have grown too old to care about bokeh :)
@@DanLawrenceDC I believe no need to. This camera holds up suprisingly well today, picture quality wise. Happy shooting friend! 🔥 Feel free to check out D750 review I uploaded... 10 minutes ago 😂
Some shitty pictures there , trust ive seen better from Chinese android phone , its just i dont know useless . Did anyone get moved by these pictures , i wasn't , Try Canon 5D , is a kind of camera that you need to prepare for , you need to know what you are doing and when you do it it gives you art .At least it gives you Mood
The d610 is full frame and 7500 is apsc, each are great in their own niche: The d610 will offer better low light and have shallower depth of field along with support for the battery grip and 2 SD card slot. Video is not the best at 1080p 30fps max Where as the d7500 has a newer apsc sensor, tilting touch screen, upto 4k recording for video , and higher native iso range ( 6400 iso is somewhat usable, I had a d500 with has a similar sensor) and bluetooth/wifi for snapbridge ( single SD card) Think of it like this: d610 is a luxury car from 10 years past And the d7500 is a new Economy car with update features Note *xxxD is canon and Dxxx is nikon ; ) Happy shooting
For now, I believe the D610 is still great for me. I'm still using it as my daily photo/video gear. Also, I'm quite satisfied with the video quality. Here is the example: ruclips.net/video/_ODIKHHJsKc/видео.html
What do you mean "still usable"? Did light condition on the planet changed over the last few years? Of course, it is usable given you don't mind that d610 does not perform well in darkness.
I mean indoors or darker situations. I own Nikon D3200 and max usable iso for me is 1600 for example when I shoot on street at night with some street lights using 35mm F1.8 at F1.8 and iso 1600 (usable for me)....that kind of condition was on my mind
Hehe 😉 It depends. As a point and shoot 2020 phone will be better... funny enough, even at night. Those new night modes are doing stunning things. Although if you want to make more artistic shot, get much more detail and abilities in a post-process no phone can come close to camera like this.
Want to know how it compares to the D750 and D810? Watch video below to find out!

Ciągle siedzę w D trójkach ale d610 jest fajną, lekką pełną klatką a do tego ma dwa sloty. Teraz z drugiej ręki w śmiesznych pieniądzach w stosunku do tego co oferuje. Warto go kupić jeśli ktoś nie ma parcia na bezlustro i nie chce wchodzić w używkę pierwszego A7 z jednym slotem. Zostawiam kciuka w górę :D
It's been almost like 2 months and still no new video. Is everything alright?
I would like to see comparison of Nikon D610 with D780. Is it really worth an upgrade?
Yes, obviously yes, it's a big upgrade in terms of ISO performance, battery life and video features.
I own 2 D610’s. I love shooting with them. I don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon. Only when they don’t work anymore, will I upgrade. To me it’s just not worth it.
ditto that, I added to my D610 a pristine Fujifilm finepix s5 pro and the skin tones on this thing is making me Hold it more than my D610
I can confirm that you can use a Nikon D600 for Streaming. (I assume that the D610 will work as well, both are cheaper to get than the other full frames).
Didn't turn off after hours and hours of streaming. Use the film live-view and cycle through the "info" button to get rid of all ui-icons. You can still change ISO, focus, etc live.
Obviously set the live view to infinite in the settings and use an akku-power adapter and hdmi mini out cable. The Vitesun power adapter costs 20$, a cheap hdmi-usb adapter 12$, the Cam can do 720P@ 60fps and 1080@30fps, which is plenty for streaming.
I still have my D600. the shutter was replaced and the photo quality sensor is amazing still today! I see no reason to upgrade the body, just invest in better glass.
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.
Hah. Interesting. I should say probably not the best deal unless it's like 200-300$ or so then feel free to take a risk 😄
I recently bought Nikon D610 to replace my Nikon D90.
Was it worth it?
@@veram6147 Yes.
I'm thinking about getting a used D600 as backup/second camera: the handling and picture quality seem be good! In germany, you get a used Nikon D600 for arround 400€, which is really cheap! The only downside I see is the little AF area ...
For about the same price I bought an A7ii(travel camera). But the lenses will break the bank. I also have a Sony A99ii(work camera) and although the body was more expensive, I saved more than the difference buying some fantastic lenses. Any of the 24mp + Nikon’s or Canon’s will save you money over a mirrorless especially on lenses.
I'm curious - what lens is that? I can see it's a 24-85 2.8 ... but that smooth zoom ring is something I'm not familiar with.
I have a D610 and a P600 for the great zoom. Great review of a fantastic camera. Greetings from Brasil.
I'm currently on D3200 and looking to make a jump to the D610 due to having accumulated few lenses and other gear. I've heard that it doesn't support AF-P lenses though.
Useful video thanks, I'm comparing the D610 and the canon 6D wondering which to get used cause I want to upgrade, thanks
This camera is a beast in iso performance and dynamic range. A7 & 5Diii are nowhere near in that department.
Nikon Z50 is a bit short in sensor size but functionality and user's experience for me os a lot better. Lighter too. 😊
It's Nikon first children/mommy camera that is 1/1 sensor.
Used is less than $211.
Canon & Nikon users are selling & going to those Sony amateurs camera like A7 series
What?!
896.00 us includes battery grip AND 50 1.8 lens!
Great deal then 😊
and wirelesss transmitter!
I have focus problems on Nikon D610 while shooting in auto mode. Photos are slightly blurry in auto mode. However, in P (program) mode I don't have that problem. Photos are very good and sharper than the ones in Auto mode. Any ideas? I use 24-120 VR lens.
Nikon gang !
You say it is above many crop cameras today. But what about other FF cameras? 6D, 5DMK3, D800?
This camera is still kicking because of it's cheap price but have a midrange quality I'm planning on buying this ..
Got my d610 few months ago on eBay. After some time it freezes randomly. I need to remove the battery, wait some time and try again. Really puzzled by the behaviour.
Is Nikon D600 will be suggested for beginners like me that want to explore photography?
sure.
hey would recommend this camera for people with medium hand size cool review
I think so 😄 In the end it's a fullframe so it won't be as comfortable to use as for example Sony RX100 but I was fine using it 😊
Thanks for the review!
Thanks.I'm torn between this ( or the D750) and mirrorless. Battery life and low light performance are important. Sony A7 suffers from poor battery I believe, though the Sony video is better than D610. If I;m not going for video, then Nikon appears a better choice. Tough decision though. Many years ago I bought a Sony camer and batter was awful then too, so it worries me than the problem persists, at least at this price range.
d610/d600 is not a champion of the low light condition...
Can you make a comaracion of the sony a7 vs de nikon d600 please
Congratulations for the video, I own a Nikon D600, I would not exchange with any other camera, but lately I am evaluating the transition to the Sony A7 II, which uslla paper is lower in terms of general image quality, dynamic range, high ISO etc ... Would you do this step? Thank you!
Ha! I'm considering going the other way! I miss the ergonomics and the OVF of my old Nikon DSLR but I do like the low light capabilities of my Sony a7II and the light weight. Focus Peaking is a really cool feature on the Sony which I'd miss but I don't think I'd lose any sleep over it
Please recommend a gimbal for d600
Shall I trade my new D3500 for a used D600?
Sure. Aim for D610 (sensor issues).
I just Subscribed!!! Cool video bro!!
So, which one would you choose: Nikon D610, Sony a7 or Canon 5D Mark III?
Hi, I enjoyed your review. For the money, I would give the edge to the D610, even though I previously owned the A7 and liked it. What I did not like about the Sony was that I needed an expensive motorized adapter to use older Minolta auto-focus lenses, which made the camera heavier and more difficult to handle. Plus, as you said, the Sony battery life is poor.
i can confirm your video !
I like my Nikon D610.
Between the Sony and the Nikon D600/D610 ? The Nikon. Sony is a consumer electronics company, not a camera company. I have 2 Nikon D600's
Sony makes the sensors for Nikon, fuji, Panasonic, and mostly all phones, so they still keep the best sensors for themselves aka Sony A7 iii
oh, they're definitely a camera company now
@@xzsdfvdfbv fun fact: they bought the Alpha division from Konica Minolta, which was their consumer camera division.
Idk i kinda like to tell weird facts
hi i bought my D600 last year for 400 Euro it worked fine. but i gave it to the local Nikon service and i get a new shutter and cleaning . but this free service ended januar 2020
How much did it cost for the repair?
@@p_nilly Nikon was offering this as a free service until January this year. It was because there was a design defect which caused the shutter to build up a lot of oil and dust in the D600. The D610 was updated to resolve the issue out of the box.
How much footage can I shoot on one full en-el15? I wonder
Can u use weebill S gimbal with Nikon D610
I've always used APS-C & MFT mirrorless cameras but wanted to try FF so I got a D610 on ebay. Yes, the IQ was excellent but compared to MILC the handling was primitive - no instant feedback, loud clunky shutter, so I got a Sony a99 and couldn't be happier - lighter, quieter, live photo style view (I do a lot of B&W so that's very important), lots of quality cheap lenses because A mount is discontinued, IQ is second do none.
Which one is better in 2020, the Nikon D800 or the D610?
I would say I would go with the D800. However I've heard that some of them are also affected with the sensor dirt issue but that may not be the case. Anyway I recommend doing some research online. As for the performance I am all for higher resolution D800. I've used D810 and that was the best camera that I've tested to this day :)
M-Galaxy thank you for the fast answer
frederikvr_ If you can find one in good condition the d700 is a solid camera
D800e with no aa filter, d700 is a classic but a very old camera with 12mp and most of them are beat. D610 is better and cheaper alternative to all of the above.
depends on how beefy is your wallet...
Nikon d610 scores 94 points, d750 93 points, and Canon 6D only 82 points, in terms of dynamic range, Nikon d610 leaves all Kenons far behind!
d610 is higher in color depth than d750 and than all the Kenons in a crowd!
Still have my D600 that I bought new in Sweden, it has mostly been lying in a drawer. I always felt that it was too heavy to carry around all day. But image quality was and is stellar, great camera for serious photography. But I use mainly Fujifilm and Panasonic these days.. I have grown too old to care about bokeh :)
Are AF performance adeguate comparing to D7200?
The D600 is close to the D7000 ...I have both ...
what do you think about d750?
Bro video is so awesome - comparison, live photoshoot. Good Job :D
I love my 2 D600's but to be honest I get better images from my Pentax K3.
Hi, can D610 use as webcam?
Fantastic video! Keep it up! Would you like to be RUclips friends? 😃
What lens is this in the video
Nikkor AF 24-85 f./2.8-4. Great lens 👍
@@MGalaxy very nice, I'm still loving my D600 😊 I never bought into the whole latest gear craze.
@@DanLawrenceDC I believe no need to. This camera holds up suprisingly well today, picture quality wise. Happy shooting friend! 🔥 Feel free to check out D750 review I uploaded... 10 minutes ago 😂
what about the d700? which is better between both?
Better Nikon d600/610. Nikon d700 is too old. 😊
Of course D700 - age don't matter.
Some shitty pictures there , trust ive seen better from Chinese android phone , its just i dont know useless . Did anyone get moved by these pictures , i wasn't ,
Try Canon 5D , is a kind of camera that you need to prepare for , you need to know what you are doing and when you do it it gives you art .At least it gives you Mood
Nikon D7500 vs Nikon D610?
For photography
The d610 is full frame and 7500 is apsc, each are great in their own niche:
The d610 will offer better low light and have shallower depth of field along with support for the battery grip and 2 SD card slot. Video is not the best at 1080p 30fps max
Where as the d7500 has a newer apsc sensor, tilting touch screen, upto 4k recording for video , and higher native iso range ( 6400 iso is somewhat usable, I had a d500 with has a similar sensor) and bluetooth/wifi for snapbridge ( single SD card)
Think of it like this: d610 is a luxury car from 10 years past
And the d7500 is a new Economy car with update features
Note *xxxD is canon and Dxxx is nikon ; )
Happy shooting
@@hieuhughesle-au9884 thanks,and sorry for my bad :)
Hi, what lens were you using in this video? Thanks!
Mainly Nikkor AF 24-85 f./2.8-4 and Nikkor AF-S 40mm 2.8 Macro 😁
What lens you use in this video
Mainly Nikkor AF 24-85 f./2.8-4 and Nikkor AF-S 40mm 2.8 Macro 😁
For now, I believe the D610 is still great for me. I'm still using it as my daily photo/video gear. Also, I'm quite satisfied with the video quality. Here is the example: ruclips.net/video/_ODIKHHJsKc/видео.html
What gimbal is compatible with d600?
What lens are you using here?
Mainly Nikkor AF 24-85 f./2.8-4 and Nikkor AF-S 40mm 2.8 Macro 😁
is that lens a dx or fx?
Jonathan Stephens looks like a fx
Is 6400 ISO still usable?
What do you mean "still usable"? Did light condition on the planet changed over the last few years? Of course, it is usable given you don't mind that d610 does not perform well in darkness.
I mean indoors or darker situations. I own Nikon D3200 and max usable iso for me is 1600 for example when I shoot on street at night with some street lights using 35mm F1.8 at F1.8 and iso 1600 (usable for me)....that kind of condition was on my mind
How was the image quality compared to 2020 smartphone? 😅
Hehe 😉 It depends. As a point and shoot 2020 phone will be better... funny enough, even at night. Those new night modes are doing stunning things. Although if you want to make more artistic shot, get much more detail and abilities in a post-process no phone can come close to camera like this.
