Summary: That's too bad Nikon's reputation has been tarnished by the sensor problem that's affected so many users. I've been lucky enough to have been spared. The D600 really is exciting to use.
The first thing I noticed is that the autofocus is fast and accurate as hell compared to other cameras I've worked with. Second, the body feels pretty light for its size! That's great for travel, accept I'm afraid to drop or bump this thing. I know it's not a cheap build, but I have my doubts.
This camera is well balanced and has great quality pictures. It speaks for itself. I do recommend it if you can get one that's non-defective.
Description:If you've been looking to take your passion to the next level with full-frame HD-SLR performance, your wait is over. Now the power of a pro-level Nikon FX-format camera - stunning full-frame images, cinema-quality 1080p videos, superior low-light performance, blazing fast framing and burst rates, built-in HDR, wireless photo sharing and much more - is attainable in a compact, lightweight HD-SLR. Optimized for full-frame shooting and versatility, streamlined for compactness and value, the D600 will fuel your passion like never before. Passionate photographers who seek exceptional full-frame, high-resolution performance rely on Nikon FX-format HD-SLRs. For the first time ever, that level of performance is available in a compact, affordable HD-SLR. D600's 24.3 megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor captures every detail with lifelike sharpness. Its EXPEED 3 processing system manages all that data with remarkable speed and accuracy, enabling up to 5.5 frames-per-second (fps) continuous shooting at full resolution. And the low-light performance synonymous with Nikon is again proven deserved - shoot crystal clear images from ISO 100 to 6400, expandable down to 50 and up to 25,600 for extreme situations. One of the keys to capturing razor-sharp images and HD videos - whether shooting through the viewfinder or with the LCD monitor - is a fast, precise autofocus system, and the D600 has one of the best. 39 focus points with wide-area AF coverage offer endless compositional possibilities. Nine cross-type sensors and seven center focus points work all the way down to f/8 for extended AF functionality with teleconverters and long-reach lenses. When shooting photos or HD video in Live View, Nikon's responsive contrast-detect AF activates for accurate fulltime autofocusing. Every moment you capture will be razor sharp. The D600 delivers consistently beautiful images and HD videos, thanks to Nikon's intelligent Scene Recognition System with 3D Color Matrix Metering II. Its 2,016 pixel RGB sensor evaluates every scene, taking into account brightness, contrast, subject distance and the scene colors, all within the time it takes to press the shutter release button. That data is then referenced against an onboard image database for consistently accurate exposures, auto white balance, i-TTL flash and subject-tracking autofocus performance.
