For those of you that moved to the D610 from a flawed D600, what did you do with your D600?

I'm sure there will be a variety of responses for this question but personally I had sent mine back to the Nikon Repair Center in NY (for the 5th time) when they offered me a refund. At that point my D600 only had a month of the 1 yr. warranty left and I pretty much had demanded they either FIX it or REPLACE it. They said they could "keep working on it" (didn't really say they could FIX it) or they could refund me so I took the refund. So basically I just gave mine back to them "as is".

When you send back to Nikon pigs, they'll make sure you'll have to upgrade in very short time by breaking something else... This is my personal experience of 30 years. If you voice your opinion, there are millions of paid posters and Nikon employee lurking around in the cyberspace, giving reviewer misery of lifetime, not to mention spreading virus on PC, so that you won't ever dare to raise your voice against almighty Nikon pigs.

Got a full refund from Nikon while it was still under warranty. This was on the 2nd time I sent it in, and like the earlier response, I had asked for a replacement if the camera could not be fixed.

Bought my D600 in Dec. 2012. Sent it in every 2 months for sensor dust spots until a week ago, when Nikon finally agreed to replace it with the D610. Now, however, they will not give me a firm date for when I can expect my replacement camera. This is beyond inconvenient, as I use my camera daily for business and business is booming right now. Never once did they offer to refund me, and now my business is suffering. It's enough to make me want to convert to Canon and, if I didn't have a million dollars in lenses, I might have done just that.

Just fixed mine. Thanks for the tip. My question is, has any been able to let Canon know about this? They should have it in the manual. You can search for 6C10 and it is not listed. I'm going to try to call them to complain.

I have both and I wouldn't change the D600 for the X-T1 for serious, payed or critical work. Although it's my opinion for the photography I do... maybe for you is different. I would suggest renting one for a week or so, try it extensively and come to a decision. Cheers.

Here is the BEST D60 review I cam acrosshttp://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond60

I do. The camera is incredible and has helped pushed the limits in tough shooting situations like only a full frame can do. The ONLY 'flaw' has been a dusty sensor in the beginning. Cleaned myself and all is well. In the age of DSLR any serious photographer should be comfortable in cleaning the sensor as it comes with the territory eventually. I love my D600 and dollar for dollar I personally would choose no other body on the current market.

I use this on a D200. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a D600. I also want to add that for the money it's been a investment investment. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Tom Nolan

Here's my point. Why would you spend $2,000 or above on a camera system which may have oil spots on its sensor? Unfortunately the D600 was notorious for this, and Nikon rather than admitting it is a problem, blamed the customers for not handling the product correctly and issued a newer model. If I were in your place I would rather opt for other brands within the same category that don't have such issues. I was about to go for this camera but having known the oil problem I opted for the Canon EOS 6D.

I just sold my D600. I had the Nikon shutter fixed, which worked fine, so that wasn't the reason. I just enjoy shooting with the Fuji more and I love the lenses. The X-T1 does what I need it to, but don't make the switch if you do much video. Fuji just doesn't make the grade there. It's the same with long telephoto and TTL flash. If you can live with those limitations, the X-T1 is a gem.

Hi I would not waste my time &gt;&gt;&gt; I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .

I have both D700 and D7100. On a D7100 I can, I guess in d3100 you can too!

I am using the lens on a D600 without any issues. I can't imagine that a lens compatible with the D600 would not be compatible with a D3. What are you experiencing?

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

It allows you to use nikon batteries. I have a D610 without any problems. You can also opt for AA batteries. It has an attachment for that

I'm not familiar with the D610, but with respect to my D300: Yes, easily. While the unit is designed to slide into the flash shoe, it doesn't have to sit there. It receives its power via the cable. I just wrap my cable around my camera strap a couple of times and it stays nicely out of the way.

I just upgrade from D3100 to D600 recently. Except the price and the size/weight of the camera body, D600 is way better than d3100. Specially in those low-light conditions, d600 has significantly better performance than D3100.

I just went through the same decision process, in fact I literally bought the D60+ lens kit and returned it (package unopened) for the D80 (body only) + the fabulous 18-200 VR lens. Why? 1) I wanted the additional metering controls vs. the D60 and in fact used all of them on my recent trip to the Hoh rain forest. 2) Keeping to my budget, I opted to spend the money on the 18-200mm VR, and yes, I used its FULL RANGE without having to change lenses. A great way to go when outdoors and taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves (e.g. deer twins walking right towards us while on the trail!). 3) Quickly realizing the super-zoom wasn't going to get me a FAST lens, I was able to pick up the 50mm f/1.4 right before my travels (which would NOT have AF working with the D40 or D60). If I had the $$$ I might have opted for a D300 and picked up the D40/60 for a lightweight second body, but as the only Digital SLR that I'll be using for the next couple of years, and the small price difference, I am extremely happy with my purchase.

I Have upgraded from D300. I find the D=600 to be a good camera with full frame capability which is what I wanted to get. I would recommend it.
