Nikon D600 ??
Dec 4, 2017 14:24:59 #
Was browsing the net today, looking for a deal on an EN-EL15 battery, and on Overstock.com, I ran across a listing for a Nikon D600. I hadn't realized that Nikon had updated the D500. Anyone heard about this? Link Below.

The D600 came long before the D500 and is a very different type of camera. Full frame for example. The newest version of the D600 is the D610 and a more advanced model is the D750.
And the price at Overstock is ridiculous.

It can get confusing if you blink.
The D500 is probably the best APS-C camera... of all brands.
The D600 is/was Nikon's "entry level" full-frame.
It will be interesting to see what Nikon does for naming the next few generations of the D500.
I think Canon's MK I, MK II, MK III, etc makes more sense. (and I'm a Nikon guy)

Not that it matters but I don't recall any Canon model that was designated a MK I. I've seen the 6D MK II and I own a 6D, but I've not seen a 6D MK I. I have a couple 7D's, a 7D and a 7D MK II but haven't seen a MK I. In my collection of older digital cameras I have a 5D and a 5D MK II but no 5D MK I. I have lenses with the II and even III designation, but none that I remember having the designation of I; IS but no I.

True yes, you're correct, but I'm not a Canon guy.
I have a friend who refers to her Canon 5D as a MK I.....just to distinguish it from the others.
(She needs to upgrade it!)

Makes you wonder how many people have been scammed by overstock.com. Their website says they ONLY have 4 left in stock. Just looked at the other camera shown on the same page. The Sony A7rII. Overstock.com shows it for $2495.00 body only. B&H shows the body only for $2398.00.

When I decided to step up from my crop sensor Nikons to a full frame a few years ago, I did it with a used D600 body from my local camera store - which I was able to rent for a weekend before deciding it was the way to go. Paid ~$1,000 for it, which was a fair price for one at the time that had had the shutter replaced.
The original D600s were known for eventually putting spots on the sensor - I believe the story was that it was drops of lubricant from the shutter mechanism - and the solution was a replacement shutter, which mine has (the repair invoice came with the camera.) I understand that the D610 is basically the D600 with a proper shutter already in it. Anybody looking at a D600 needs to be aware of this history.
As a full frame digital camera the D600 has been superb. It takes and processes RAW files as fast as I shoot 'em, and autofocuses as well as any digital Nikon body I've ever used. I don't know if it has a video mode, as I'm not interested in taking video with a DSLR. But I DO know that it takes all of the full frame Nikon lenses I accumulated for my film cameras and gives their full field of view on the sensor. It may be an "entry level" full frame body in the Nikon system, but none of the newer, more expensive bodies offer anything more that makes 'em worth paying for, at least for my purposes. YMMV, of course.

She really does need to upgrade. But the old 5D produced pretty darned good images fof a 12 megapixel camera.
I've actually ended up with 4 different 5D models. An original 5D, and a MK II, both of which I bought used, an SR and a MK IV, both of which I bought new. Usually when I refer to my 5D I'm referring to the MK IV

Duh, the original is the MKI ( no need to call it MKI), the follow-up model is logically the MKII!
