The D600 has arrivedSeriously.
The presser just came in, pretty well confirming all the rumoured specs, and with - wait for it - local availability from next Tuesday, September 18. No pricing in the presser, so I've asked for that. g.

Re: The D600 has arrivedhttp://mynikonlife.com.au/gear/digital-slr-cameras/d600
a few of the items different from the earlier rumours: 5.5 fps 39 point AF with Multi-CAM 4800, 9 cross-type with seven points that are compatible with f/8 Viewfinder coverage (FX: 100%, DX: 97%) - same as D800 Viewfinder Magnification 0.7x - same as D800 Max shutter speed is 1/4000 (which is a step down compared to D7000's or D700's 1/8000) Flash sync speed is 1/200 (can go to 1/250 with reduced range) (again annoying compared to D7000's 1/250) Bracketing is only 3 frames (unlike 9 on D800) - similar to D7000 - but can do 3EV steps Last edited by Remorhaz on Thu Sep 13, 2012 3:48 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: The D600 has arrivedVanbar are listing it for $2564 http://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/product.php?id=79365
Ted's don't have it listed as yet Looks like the Australian Tax is back. With a vengeance. AFAIC, those prices are way too hot, given US pricing and the current exchange rate. If the retailers want to complain about people shopping overseas, I have less than no sympathy. Their business models are archaic. There is no excuse for this whatsoever. g.

Re: The D600 has arrived
FYI - I was thinking about these two potential cons against the D600 (and I'm sure the strobists are going to really hate the second); but for the first I took a look at my own Lightroom library and out of the 57,500 images in my library only 27 had shutter speeds faster than 1/4000 (& 17 of those were at 1/5000 so close enough) and I had no "keepers" at 1/8000 and even if I only consider the images I've taken with my D7000 (which supports 1/8000) that's still 37,000 images.

Re: The D600 has arrived
Lightroom itself does it easily - just select "All Photographs" under Catalog (if you want to match across all the photos) and then in the Library Filter bar hit "Metadata" and then in the pulldown menu in that bar select "Exposure Info" and you can see/select columns with subtotals for each of Focal Length, ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed.

Re: The D600 has arrivedsince everyone is banging on about prices ... DD has it preordered for 2099 which sounds more sensible even if it is grey.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: The D600 has arrivedisnt anyone a bit nervous about preordering this without the AF issues being resolved in the d800 ?
whats to say this isnt going to have the same problems. nikon have made me very nervous. EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
Re: The D600 has arrived
Their (non)reaction has been a marketing fiasco. When the likes of Thom Hogan and other reputable industry commentators agree that there is an issue with a percentage of these expensive cameras and Nikon cannot even make a comment about it, I think many consumers would feel the same way as you.

Re: The D600 has arrived
agreed - but... http://www.ryda.com.au/Nikon-D600-DSLR- ... 00body.htm $2,388.85 http://www.photocontinental.com.au/products/101102 $2399 http://www.cameras.net.au/ $2450 http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.a ... 1281_1.htm $2,479 http://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/product.php?id=79365 $2,574.00 http://www.digidirect.com.au/slr_camera ... amera_body $2599.00 http://www.teds.com.au/catalog/product/ ... d600-body/ $2699.95 So you should expect be able to negotiate Aus stock (with the 2 year warranty) for $23XX and maybe less - which gets a lot closer to the $2100
I'm keen for one but I expect I'll wait till after the reviews and more come out and I've actually tried using one (plus I've got to factor in a 16-35 and 24-70 or 24-120 ![]() D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: The D600 has arrived
Don't overlook the fact that US pricing is always quoted ex-tax. State taxes in the US are generally around 9%, but importing a D600 from the US would incur GST of 10% based upon the cost of $2100 plus whatever the shipping cost might be. That's at least $210. Thus your break-even/comparison point for direct importing will be around the $2350 mark, plus whatever the value of the local warranty might be for you. While these prices are looking better than what we were seeing yesterday, I still think that this is a little more expensive than it should be. The originally mooted US$1600 was about the right number, I think. g.

Re: The D600 has arrived
i have never ever been nervous about buying a nikon product. ever. and tbh i dont think i have ever even been nervous buying any product from a reputable company period. this is the first time ive ever hesitated cos of a known fault. that in and of itself is evidence of nikons abject failure to address what is clearly an issue. very disappointing.

Re: The D600 has arrived
DDP's in North Syd so their $2099 price is walk in and buy with no more to pay (http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au/pro ... ly%29.html) (still grey market - although any warranty return would be local too in this case) - so currently they would be the reference grey benchmark - will be interesting to see where prices go after launch (e.g. HK pricing - at the moment their grey prices are higher than here) NB: ECS are now down to $2385 http://www.cameras.net.au/product_info. ... cts_id=378 D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: The D600 has arrivedThere is one driving feature for which I would consider upgrading to the D600 over the D7000 for....
wait for it..... the finger grip! they have finally learned the error of their ways and made a proper curved finger grip which is harking back to the days of the D80. this is one feature that I can see making a difference for me to make me take better pictures ![]() D80 ![]() D7000 ![]() D600 - check them curves baby... and check out that land for you thumb on teh back... sweet ![]() gerry's photography journey

Re: The D600 has arrivedThose curves are definitely welcome.....*looks at cameras* maybe I should liquidate some more gear and simplify

Re: The D600 has arrived
I've bought from both (and eglobal which seems to be the no frills arm of DWI if thats even possible) but only lenses and not a camera (or anything over $1K). I reckon they are all fine as long as you don't want any actual customer service either before or after sale. D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: The D600 has arrivedOk thanks for the feedback; do you know if the one-year warranties they [DWI] offer are legit - ie are they official Nikon etc?
