This 24 megapixel full frame DSLR has a couple of improvements on the D600 released last year. Burst mode speed is increased from 5.5 to 6 frames per second; auto white balance has been tweaked and a Quiet Shutter Continuous mode (which is not all that quiet) has been added.

By and large the Nikon D600 was warmly welcomed when it was announced in September 2012. It was designed to be the natural progression for DX format users wanting to dip their toes into FX (full-frame) photography and, as well as having a control layout that sits comfortably within Nikon's...

Nikon D610 Review – The Nikon D610 arrives as the successor to the Nikon D600. We take a closer look to see if it's the camera the D600 should have been all along in the What Digital Camera Nikon D610 review.

Sensor delivers excellent results; AF performance very good; Handling

AF points grouped a little too closely to the centre of the frame; 10-pin and sync socket missing

The Nikon D610 follows relatively quickly on from its predecessor, the Nikon D600, with good reason. Despite the Nikon D600 being the most affordable full-frame DSLR of all time on launch, it has its flaws, the most noticeable of which was that after a certain number of shutter actuations – around...

First-class handling; Great performance from the sensor; Impressive AF performance

No native Wi-Fi; Too closely-grouped AF points

This camera have the potential to be a good product but the recent issues with the D600 and the poor management of this problem by Nikon, says a lot about this product and/or any products to be released in the near future by this company

Good image quality; ergonomics and handling

Poor customer support and reliability by Nikon

RMAing with Newegg. Am shooting a wedding with it next week and was a little disappointed that I had to submit a refund and order another so I'm on the hook for $5000 until the first completes RMA.

Very nice camera; Takes excellent pictures; Dual SD slots are great; Videos are better than (my admittedly somewhat old) HD camcorder; Significant upgrade from my Canon EOS

Autofocus has been intermittently failing; When you 1/2 press to autofocus the white focus assist LED comes on but no focusing, and the shutter is locked; Seems to happen about 10% of the time; Will submit updated review when I have a fully working device.

The Nikon D610 is a 'budget' full-frame DSLR, aimed at enthusiasts upgrading from mid-range models or pros looking for an affordable backup for a higher-end body. Announced in October 2013, it replaces the one-year-old D600 and like that model is positioned roughly between the full-frame D800 and...

The Nikon D610 is the camera last year's D600 was supposed to be, with a redesigned shutter mechanism that eliminates the dust-and-oil spot issue that plagued its predecessor. The new D610 keeps the affordable full-frame DSLR price point, as well as the excellent image quality, great ergonomics and...

Eliminated sensor dust-and-oil spot issue from D600; Great controls for amateur or pro; Comfortable ergonomics and weight; Excellent image quality and low-light performance; Very good dynamic range; Excellent battery life; Built-in lens correction, Dust/oil on sensor problem from D600 fixed with...

Not drastically different from D600; Moire with certain subjects; Auto WB still too warm in incandescent light; Slow AF in live view mode; Aliasing in videos, Main point of this upgrade is to fix problem on previous model; few added features are just minor tweaks, Second function button oddly...
