Notable Limitations of the D600

My perspective: I seek to eliminate any camera behavior that interferes with efficient shooting; for me this means I would consider only dual D800 bodies, not a D600 and D800; it’s just not worth the hassle with the differences; it can mean a lost shot, card incompatibility, blown-out image, etc, all detailed below.

If one intends to shoot only one camera body, the D600 is a fine camera, but for my shooting style the D600 is an ergonomic hassle compared to the D800/D800E; it does not fit my hands as well nor is it as efficient to operate; I am used to Nikon’s pro bodies. I would not consider the D600 for my uses, not in context of what it really costs.

Mode dial

The mode dial at top left locks in place (good), but is difficult to operate, being an awkward shape with an award button to unlock it. I dislike it very much compared to the D800.

Diglloyd DAP is DSLR-oriented, but also contains workflow and other topics. Much of the focus is on Canon and Nikon but also Pentax and Pentax medium format.

Special emphasis is placed on lens evaluation, focusing on Canon and Nikon and Sigma lenses, but with a few others like Rokinon/Samyang.

  • Make better images by learning how to get the best results right away.
  • Save money by choosing the right lens for your needs the first time, particularly some of the new Sigma Art lenses vs Nikon and Canon.
  • Workflow discusses image organization, raw conversion and post processing. Many examples show processing parameters for direct insight into how the image was converted.
  • Jaw-dropping image quality found nowhere else utilizing Retina-grade images up to full camera resolution, plus large crops [past 2 years or so].
  • Real world examples with insights found nowhere else. Make sharper images just by understanding lens behavior you won’t read about elsewhere.
  • Aperture series from wide open through stopped down, showing the full range of lens performance and bokeh.
  • Optical quality analysis of field curvature, focus shift, sharpness, flare, distortion, and performance in the field.
