Nikon Debuts D600 as 'Affordable' Full-Frame DSLR Discussion

[Theano Nikitas]

With Photokina, the world's largest photography tradeshow just around the corner, there's no lack of new camera announcements. Although rumored for a while, we finally got a hands-on look at one of the more important new models of the season - Nikon's 24.3 megapixel, full-frame D600. Built around a newly developed FX format CMOS sensor, this compact DSLR is designed to meet the needs of advanced amateurs and photo enthusiasts who long for a full-frame camera but didn't want to pay $3,000 or more for a pro camera. But, with the D600's specs, we think this $2,100 (body only) camera will serve as back-up cameras for some professionals as well. The D600 will be available starting September 18.

I'm sure the D600 will do VERY well for Nikon. However, I won't really consider any full-frame DSLR to be "affordable" for amateurs until a camera manufaacturer offers a full-frame DSLR body priced at LESS than $2,000.

Still, Nikon deserves credit for creating a less expensive alternative to the D800.
