Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Nikon D610 Body

This camera has a lot of reasons to love....1) Small size - cannot see a marked difference in size over the D90 despite the full frame sensor2) Low light performance - incredible low light performance - I have been able to capture portrait images with minimal noise in tough light conditions...much better than my D903) Depth of field - I am getting much better depth of field with this camera compared to the D90 (no slouch) with the same lenses4) Ability to crop due to the larger size images - the size makes it easy to crop and still get decent size images for larger prints5) Speed of focus - this camera focuses very fast and as a result I find myself capturing images quicker than ever before6) Size of viewfinder - Much easier as you can see the entire image and feels larger than my D907) More natural feel to images - I find the images to have more range and see a lot more tones in similar light8) Ability to zoom in "Live View" with a manual focus lens to get sharper focus (makes the manual focus lenses much more valuable)9) Two SD card slots - very convenientConcerns I have:1) The focus points are bunched up. If you want to focus on objects that are not within that central region, you have to use another approach (Hold the AF/AE and then recompose). This has been the case for me a few times....2) The dual dials with locks are a pain to use (not easy to rotate)Still have to figure out a few things -1) Setting up U1 & U2 - get to my settings for most common types of photography quickly2) In-camera HDR - looks very promising3) AF fine-tuningSo far the pictures have turned out very well ...one thing I struggled with is using AF-A. Have had to resort to single-point AF mode to get better focus on my subject (especially with landscapes, it is easy to have your subject out of focus in AF-A mode).I chose this over the D7100 (it is about half the price) because I had a few FX lenses that I really liked and wanted to take advantage of. Can't go wrong with either...I tried the D7100 out and loved it as well.

The camera D610 was bought in amazon.com in February, it was okay but with 1200 shoots, it started to have some spots in the images, always in the same area, and ruining my pics from Greek Islands.People said it is dirtiness in the sensor, the sensor was checked by nikkon seller and it's okay, it is clean. Then I contacted customer service from USA, they asked me for some files, they recommend me to send the camera, in fact they just give me a link with lot of requirements to send the camera, I asked the Spanish nikkon service if they could have a look, as I am living in Spain. and they said no, the camera should be sent to USA. The delivery expenses are not cover by Nikkon, the delivery cost is 200 euros. and maybe the issue could be not cover by the warranty. Meanwhile Nikon just replies with confusing mails.It is unbelievable for me, that a brand as Nikon have this kind of warranties and customer services. Some people told me that they face many problems with Nikon D600, and I didm't believe them it was a mistake to buy this camera, The features are nice, camera is nice but when you have a problem, you are lost! In my case the only solution they offer me is spending 200 euros and then waiting for the camera for probably more than 2 months.Spending $2000 and receiving this customer service....no comments.Nikon D610 24.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera with 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens

First, this is more of a notice than a full-on review of the D610 which is basically a "spotless" D600. I urge everyone with a defective D600 to contact Nikon and and see about getting a replacement D610. The dismal handling of the sensor problem by Nikon has precipitated a class action suit against them for not properly addressing the D600 shutter box failure before now. Perhaps that got their attention. They had already replaced my shutter box and it did not adequately solve my problem so I again contacted them and they decided to replace my D600 with the new D610. Even if they have not already replaced your shutter box they may want to cut to the chase and offer to let you send your bogus D600 in and they'll then send you a new D610 within a couple of days. I guess I should give them some points for that but they dropped the ball big time waiting this long.Anyway, for those only having heard of the D600 problems don't let those reports discourage you from buying the D610. I received my new D610 from Nikon last week and am happy to report this camera generates the same high quality photos I got from the D600 when I purchased it over a year ago except without the dreaded spotting.I'll forgo effusive stories about the great images I got with the D600 when the spots were not visible because there have been countless other excellent reviews of the D600 and the D610 is identical in that regard MINUS the spots. So the bottom line is that the D610 is an outstanding full frame option.

I really, really, liked this camera and loved the photos. I had the D600, but due to sensor issues, Nikon refunded my money for the D600. When the D610 came out, I waited and it seemed like the sensor problem was resolved, so I bought it. Very happy with it, had the automatic sensor cleaner on at both start up and shut down, and it looked like the pictures were clear. I went on a two week vacation the day after getting the camera, NEVER changed the lens (so doubtful much dust would have gotten in via lens changing), and was pretty happy. Then, I got home where I was able to download my pictures onto my home computer w/ 21" monitor and start doing some conversions to B&W, that's when I saw it - a multitude of sensor spots on the image. Sensor clean and blowing w/ a Giotto blower did no good. So I packed up the camera and returned it. I think that the spots probably would have disappeared w/ a wet cleaning, but here's the catch - Nikon requires that only a certified Nikon facility clean the camera, or warranty is voided. And I just didn't want to get on the carousel of sending my camera to California every time I had sensor spots that could not be removed by regular means. I clean my own Nikon D70s with a swab with no issues, and if Nikon didn't have warnings to consumers about the D610 needing to be returned to Nikon for cleaning to keep the warranty, I'd probably have cleaned it and kept the camera, But better to send it back while I can still get a refund.As for the 28-300 lens - loved it.Shoulder bag - great, and worked wonderfully on my road trip to carry my camera, computer, power cords, etc.

I know the D600 had issues, but the 610 NONE! I love this thing and take it everywhere. The speed it focuses, meters, adapts are great. The only thing I wish it had was dedicated ISO buttons like the D800. While the D600 does have a dual purpose ISO button, I'd rather it be dedicated on the top or side. I love the speed of the shutter, it moves so quick and solid it feels like a machine gun, and it feels like it's built to work. I've had a Nikon D60, D90, and now the D610 and it's my favorite. I've given my D90 to my opposite, and she used to love it but now she's played with my D610 I have to fight her off. I debated quite a while on getting a D7100 and not going full frame, but in the end i'm glad I did. Going full frame has given me so much more in my frames, and the opportunity to utilize my entire lens collection much better. Also going back to DX lens has with this camera is a snap, it automatically switches back and shows a box within the viewfinder on whats in the frame. The only negative thing about this camera is the battery life, this thing eats batteries so be prepared to purchase a replacement battery. The ISO range and quality on this camera is subperb compared to my other models, where before moving above 1000 ISO was amost a no go, with the D610 its no problem the pictures still look amazing.

First off, the fact that anyone would rate this camera 1 star is a complete joke. Moving on.I've had the D80, D700, and Sony A7 (briefly) before this camera. I thought I wanted to move away from dSLR's and moved to the A7 for a more compact system with what I thought would be equal performance. I was entirely wrong. The A7 focus system is nowhere near as sophisticated as the D610/D700 or even D80 for that matter. So, I returned the A7 and went back to my good old faithful nikon lenses and the D610 and I'm so happy I did. Coming from a D700, the image results are just as amazing. I needed a camera with video, and this thing certainly fills that role nicely. There are two things I would change about this camera if I was forced to nitpick. First is the mode selector dial, it's a pain to use compared to my D700, second is a slightly larger AF focus area (for those rare shots where you need to focus/compose on something towards the edge of the frame. That's it. Everything else is perfect. Battery life, customization, menus, FPS, everything. Yes it isn't forged out of a rhino skin, but it is still tough/weather sealed. Unless you are a (clumsy) full time pro who needs a tank of a camera, this should suit you. I did tons of research and reading on all cameras available at the time I bought my D610. Let me save you from doing that as well, just buy it. You'll love it. If you need to print billboards, consider the D800, but if not stick with the D610.I feel like I need to say it again, if you voted this camera 1 star you are either completely in over your head with a camera you cant control or you are lying.

This will not be a long review, but just enough to get some thoughts out there. First of all, I am not a very experienced photographer, but through the years, I have owned a couple of nice DSLR's, and many point and shoot models. A little over a year ago I purchased a D600. The picture quality was easily the best I have ever seen, and even with my limited skill set, I was getting many pro level photos out of it. My mother in law, who is a very advanced photographer was starting to use some of my shots for her desktop wallpaper, etc. After about 1500 clicks, I started to notice the specks on certain photos. After doing some research, I learned about the oil splatter issue, and returned the camera to Nikon for repair. They kept it for over a month due to a parts delay. Upon receiving the camera back from Nikon, it immediately had the oil issue again. First frame out of the box. I don't even think they did anything to my camera except possibly clean the sensor. I returned the camera once again, and this time the turn around was only about a week and a half. Again, spots on the sensor. So, I sold the camera to a friend of mine who is adept at sensor cleaning, and didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal. Next thing I know, the D610 is announced, and the word is that the shutter oil issue has been addressed. I decided to give Nikon one last try because I already had Nikon FX lenses, and the PQ with the D600 was so outstanding, but promised myself that this would be the last chance they get due to cost. Well, I have had the camera since launch day, and I'm happy to say that it has been superb! So far, so good! Now I can focus on learning more about how to be a better photographer, than spending my time cleaning up my photos in Lightroom. I feel burned by Nikon for sure, but the camera is a winner. The experience was not.

I bought this camera in October 2013. I'm an amateur photographer, I owned a D5000 for 3 years, on which I learned the basics of photography, I also invested in some decent lenses (not the top of the line but good ones e.g. Sigma 17-50 f2.8 (DX), Sigma 150-500 (FX), Nikon 35mm f1.8(DX)). I was interested in exploring new grounds with a full frame body and the D610 was a great choice. It was extremely easy for me to adapt to the new body and know my way to most of the essential buttons on the camera. The image quality, especially at low light with high ISO is stunning, noise is low and I usually get rid of it in lightroom.In my opinion, it is an excellent choice for an entry level FX. I got a 50mm f1.8G Nikon with it and I love it too.The only thing that owners of DSLR such as the D3000/D5000 series is the getting used to the two dials as well as the relatively new button locations such as the ISO, bracketing, AF settings ...etc. Once you get a good handle of those technical issues, you would concentrate more on the shot and produce stunning images.I know that this is is not a technical review of the camera, but I don't think also that this is a good place for full tech reviews more than personal opinions. I use the camera regularly and love it.

I don't usually write product reviews, but I feel like there are a lot of people who may need a little encouragement before deciding to purchase this camera. Reading through this product page can certainly drive one crazy trying to filter through actual reviews and the bitter remarks about D600s and sensor debris. I owned a D600 and it did have problems with oil spots on the sensor. I understand that not all D600s have this problem, but mine did, even after it was refurbished by Nikon. For those of you who have a D600 with no problems, you lucked out and have no reason to upgrade to the D610. For those who DID have problems with a D600 and are feeling apprehensive, come on over to the D610. I'm happy with mine. And finally, for those who have not owned either camera and are wondering if it is a camera worthy of purchase, maybe you're considering going from DX to FX, I highly recommend it. I also own a D7000, which I love, but I wanted to make the jump to an FX body. The D600 was the natural choice for me with its "affordable" price and overall fantastic performance. Oil issues aside, I really liked the D600. And since the D610 is virtually identical in specifications I know it will perform amazingly.I do a lot of long exposure photographs of stars out in the desert. The low-light capabilities of this camera have been nothing short of impressive. The amount of noise in the images at higher ISOs (1600 and 3200) has been dramatically reduced from the shots I was taking with the D7000. My other focus is wildlife photography, for which I will still primarily use my D7000, but the D610's 6fps burst rate is a really nice feature in case some Bar-Tailed Godwit(rare bird) flies by while I'm taking some seascape shots.The Nikon D610 is a great camera that I highly recommend. I hope this information is helpful.Happy shooting!

Let me start by saying that I do actually own this camera, unlike most of the people who decided to chime in and write a fraudulent review. It doesn't say Verified Owner simply because I didn't buy it here.So, on to the camera. It has exceeded all of my expectations. All of my existing lenses work perfectly, and even my old flash mostly works (auto TTL doesn't work, but I can live with that until I buy a new flash). The build quality is superb, and the picture quality it unmatched at this price point. There is a fantastic review of this camera on photographylife dot com, go check it out.As for all of the D600 owners who are complaining and posting negative reviews for this model... If you bought your D600 in the first couple weeks after it was released, then by all means, speak up on the D600 product page, you have every right to be upset about how you were treated. I'd be throwing mine through a window at the Nikon corporate headquarters about now. If, however, you bought your camera after that, then you really have no one to blame but yourself. I almost bought the D600 when it was released, but I didn't rush in, and actually did some research first (it was $2500 after all!). After only a week following its release, news of the oil and dust issue was making the rounds in photography circles, and shortly after that, it went viral on the internet. Because of this, I passed, as should everyone else. I was even considering spending the extra money on the D800, but they couldn't seem to get the left-side focus issues resolved, so I passed on that one too. With the release of the D610, which allegedly fixed the oil and dust issue, I was still skeptical, I again waited a while to see what the early adopters had to say. After everything looked good, I made my purchase, and I am very happy I did.

I have been a D5000 user for the last 4 years. Decided to upgrade recently and after researching the D7100, the D610 (and it's predecessor the D600) as well as the D800, I settled on the D610. The camera arrived about 10 days before I was leaving on a trip and during those 10 days I played around with the settings / controls and shot some pictures in and around the house. Everything seemed to be fine. The first time I tried to use it on the trip the shutter would not release. Luckily I was carrying my backup body and after some experimentation with different lenses I quickly realized that the issue was that the auto-focus mechanism in the camera had stopped working. After taking a few shots under manual focus at F/22 I also noticed 5-6 fairly large dust/oil spots on images with blue skies.I just got back from the trip and Amazon was extremely helpful in setting up the return / exchange so the camera is going back today (luckily it's within 30 days of delivery!). I will request a replacement for now hoping the replacement will not be another lemon. Will seriously consider selling all my Nikon gear and switching to Canon if that happens - which is a shame because I do believe that Nikon makes a great product, when it works.

I have been a Nikon fan since I could afford to buy my first camera - a Nikon F3HP - an outstanding camera that was bullet-proof. I became an early digital convert and have been waiting patiently for a full-frame digital camera that made sense for me to buy and leverage my base of full frame lenses. i've never liked the DX format when it comes to wide angle shots. The specs of the D600 and D800 are outstanding and both cameras feel great, but I watched in disbelief as Nikon let this D600 shutter issue play out on the Internet. Now it appears to be addressed with the D610 and my experience with the camera has been excellent. My concern now is that a company that manages product issues in such poor fashion with their loyal customer base is probably going to fail in long run. The market is too competitive. Canon and Sony and others have great products. Nikon needs to treat its customers better if is going to survive as a company. The D600 issue was such a basic product/PR issue and Nikon seemed clueless about doing the right thing. I would have bought the 600 or 800 earlier if this issue hadn't played out over the past year, but I am hesitant to invest further in such a poorly managed company. Nikon should be doing something for its d600 owners --- trade-in, credit, rebuild --- and should start by admitting and managing the issue straight up. Product issues happen --- Nikon needs to show that it has the integrity to do the right thing to maintain its brand and customer base. I can assume from Nikon's past history that if there's a problem with the D610, then they will burry their heads and focus on a D620. So, the D610 gets 5 stars for now but the company behind it gets 1 star, averaging out to 3 stars.

I'm changing my former 1 star review. Why did I give them a 1 star review? Because I was very upset with Nikon's handling of the D600, the camera that's nearly identical to this one. They never admitted a problem, gave simple "have you tried not changing the lenses in a dust filled area?" responses, and after attempting to fix my D600 a few times, I have simply given up on that and came to an understanding with Nikon. That's all I will say about that.The D610 on its own merits is a solid 4.25 star full frame camera. Why not 5 star? because it's still using the same sensor as the D600 which came out last year. It's a year old sensor being sold today for $100 cheaper than the D610 did initially. The AF points are still somewhat centered in the middle but in the real world, very usable. I should know, I've used the D600 for a year. The sensor is still one of the best full frame ones out there so having used the D600 and spending some time with the D610, it will likely be my next camera.I wish it was't like this. I wish I would have just bought the D600 and there were no issues and Nikon would have offered a recall but they didn't. Still, I don't see myself ever going to Canon (that was a bluff) - Sony, maybe but not Canon. No need to bash Nikon anymore. They have learned their lesson hopefully. They have brought dishonor to themselves with the D600 so maybe now they will follow the righteous path.Update *March 2014*I was looking for a camera to replace my D600 and decided to buy the D610 after the first price drop. This really is what the D600 SHOULD have been. No dust or oil. Not thrilled that I'm using 2 year old technology, but that's all Nikon has now.

First off, I know it's crazy talk but, I think Amazon should only allow customers to review here if they actually own the camera. If you own the D600 and are unhappy with it, please review it there.I'm an amateur at photography and upgraded from the entry level D3100. This was definitely an overkill upgrade but I've always wanted to take professional grade photos. I took the Michael Maven online D600 class which shows all features and settings (highly recommended) and purchased a few FX lenses: 1.4 50mm prime, 28-70mm 2.8 (refurbished), and a 70-300 4.5 VR2. I specifically waited until this camera came out due to all of the reported dust and oil issues from the D600. After about 2000 shots, no dust or oil issues at all.As expected, picture quality is excellent. There is a noticeable difference in contrast from my DX, even in auto mode. The colors just seem to pop. Also as expected, low light shots are brighter and can be shot with lower ISOs. I'm not super impressed with the low light auto white balance but it's possible that it's on par with every other DSLR. I just shoot in RAW so I can modify the white balance and exposure after the fact. The auto white balance was supposedly modified from the D600 so not sure if it's improved or they made it worse!Overall it's a great camera and probably was a smart decision vs. the Canon 6D. Seems like the Canon performs better in low light and has better video. I just wasn't impressed with any photo samples from it.

***Be wary!! Some models come with a broken diopter control! I got one***Compared to the D700:Pros:-Better in low light.-Nice file size.-Video capability.Cons:-D700's performance is a lot better (faster FPS w/MB-D10 and reacts faster)-Not as sturdy. Feels like a D200.-SD Cards and controls need getting used to.*I bought this camera mainly for non-sports usage. I tried it on a couple of soccer games and noticed that on occasional sequence shots, the first frame will be about a third of a stop darker than the following frames. Happened multiple times. Might stick with not shooting fast action sports with it because it doesn't seem to have that problem otherwise.Update - 3/20:-Upset the price dropped $100 after I bought it.-After running over 10k photos through the camera, I still like the file size, but I can't trust the camera to do the job with it's auto-focus on objects that are moving around a lot. You would think that after a seven-plus year difference between it and the D700, the auto focus technology would be a lot better. It's not. It's a step back.-The Auto WB is actually pretty good. Although, the yellowish/green cast of the LCD on the back would tell you different.

I just bought the D610 as a backup for my D800 and for macro photography. The D610 is a great camera and the 24.3 mp sensor is much more forgiving than the D800's, especially for hand-held, natural light macro. And; my 65 year neck is very grateful; it's quite a bit lighter than the D800. Coupled with my 60mm micro-nikkor "G" lens, it's turning into a superb "walking around" camera. So far, after about a week, I've found the image quality to be excellent and my images are very sharp with the micro-nikkor. It's also very quiet. I'm used to the D800, which has a really noisy shutter release guaranteed to scare all the wildlife away.I only have two minor "gee, I wish it would do this" comments. The auto-bracket function limits you to only 3 frames, at 0.3, 0.7, 1, 2 or 3 ev; not a deal-beaker, but I like to do HDR and I wish Nikon had designed the camera to do 5, or better yet, 7 frames. The D800 will allow you to auto-bracket up to 9 frames but at no more than 1 ev increments. A little consistency, Nikon, please! Second, there doesn't seem to be a way of programming the multi-selector center button so that pushing it in playback mode immediately brings up the luminance histogram. You can do this with the D800 and I find it very convenient. Still the D610 costs a third less, so again, no deal-breaker.BTW, a bit of advice: If you want more objective reviews on the D610, go visit the product page on the B&H Photo's website, in addition to Amazon's.

Ok enough of the D600 bashing on the D610 review section please.You haters can go ahead and unlike the review if you wish, I understand the way you all may feel ( i would be angry if I was in the same predicament), but this is not the place for it, send down your blood pressure and move on...This review are for those actually interested in knowing how the D610 performs and not the d600.I've had my D610 for over a month now and absolutely love it. I moved up from the d5100 which I really used as a toy, now that my love and knowledge of using dslr has grown it was time for an upgrade of my camera and lenses.I didn't buy mine on Amazon but at B&H since they were offering an extra camera bag, battery and memory included as a package for the same price.Anyways, all I can say is other than the AF which isn't an issue for me (just focus and recompose if necessary) I have no complaints. It really is super fast at 6 frames per sec, no oil specks (have taken about 2000 images with it already and sensor is still clean as a whistle), the location of the buttons to use are very convenient (I've already gotten used to them) and great image quality, (not to mention as expected when using it with my 50mm prime, the images are simply amazing).Other than reviewing all the technical nitty gritty stuff for reviews (which I'm not going to get into) this baby offers all that it claims to provide and I love it!

As the title says, this camera has "fixed" the problems that plagued the D600. I had purchased the D600 as a pre-order when it first came out. I had sensor oil spots within the first 100 images and I dealt with spending endless amounts of time cleaning up my images in Photoshop. I had over 10,000 actuations on it (with sports photography) and had returned it to Nikon 5 times for sensor cleanings. Actually, on the 4th return they replaced the shutter and the spots still returned. So with my 1 yr. warranty approaching this fall I put my foot down with them and they offered me a full refund, which I took. This was in September. I heard the rumors about the D610 and waited until I could read a few reviews and tests on it. Satisified with what I was seeing on the reviews I went ahead and purchased the D610 in November. While I haven't had time to use it extensively since I received it I DO have about 500 actuations on my D610 and so far so good. NO nasty oil spots. It is such a pleasure to have clean images again. I am very happy so far with the purchase. I just wish the Nikon haters who don't even own it would stop posting all of their negative crap and trying to ruin the camera. This camera is fine and has addressed the issues that the D600 had.

I finally decided to make the jump to FX from my old DX D80. I couldn't quite justify the price tag of the D800 or any of the others, however. Fortunately I have not been disappointed at all with the D610. This camera's ability (paired with a good lens) to reproduce real-life colors is astonishing. In good light, I often feel that many pictures I take need little to no editing, especially in terms of color accuracy to the moment being captured.There are lots of other great perks to this camera as well. The live view is a welcome addition, though admittedly I prefer the view finder. There are lots of neat image processing features, but most, if not all require shooting in JPEG, which I almost never do. I'd rather do most of it in post processing anyway though.If you're not quite comfortable with manual modes yet (hopefully you are when you're considering spending this much on a camera) there are a lot of scene options available.

I had D300 for five years, just bought D610 this month. Image quality appear to be twice better than D300. I'm happy to move to FX. I just wish it has built-in WIFI. Maybe at this point Nikon cares more about image quality than WIFI. The WU-1B device does not connect to PC using a router, only mobile devices. I bought Nikon 1.8 and 2.8 lens. Aperture mode doesn't appear consistent in exposure level from wide opening to smaller apertures. The image taken at wide open appears to be always slightly darker than the rest. It's only slightly but no big deal. It can be fixable by adjusting shutter speed or ISO. I tested aperture mode range using D300 and D7100 and it appears to produce the same results so I would guess it's the general Nikon camera itself. Nikon probably thinks it's no big deal fixing this little problem that no one has complained about or notice. In White Balance, it has incandescent and no tungsten like Canon camera has. It appears slightly yellow, not white enough, but will try to test it some more. I would recommend the camera for excellent image quality but warn it has no built-in WIFI. Not many people are happy with WU-1B.

Not sure why my first review is gone, but here we go with a better one anyway...I been saving up for the D800 forever but this came out and this is better because of the file size that gets stored on your computer. Plus you can get an awesome lens and the body for the price of the D800 body only. Buy from a photography store or best buy because I heard Nikon doesn't take anything bought from Amazon "as I'm told".Who's this camera for? If you love doing weddings, this is it because of low light capabilities and quiet mode.Landscape? Amazing resolution this camera does even with kit lens.Portraits? Depends on your lens, if you use prime, 2.8's, this camera rocks it!Which makes my next point. Are you a real photographer or a hobby photographer?For serious photographers who use the 2.8 lenses for weddings, portraits... This is for you for a great price. For people who just shoot to post photos and don't care, think twice because of the price. You can get a D3300. Or a Canon if you choose them for about $1,000. Have any question I will try my best to answer.

Have been using DX Nikons since the D70, and was ready to be blown away by the difference in FX with the 610, but quite the opposite was the case. Aside from the added pixels per image and a slightly more spacious viewfinder, I could not find an additional $800-900-worth of value over the D7000 I now own. Amazingly, the 610, together with a 70-300 VR FX zoom, created a seriously vignetted image on a clear, sunny day in one of my test runs, something I never get with a DX body. Internal camera controls may have been able to deal with that flaw, but why should I even have to worry about it? Never had to with film cameras... Anyway, my curiosity with respect to FX has been completely satisfied and I won't have to spend any more in the future to try it again. However, kudos to Amazon for allowing me to return it and even refunding shipping for both directions! Now that's a big deal!

Some have asked if there was any chance Nikon was going to make good for the customers duped into buying the Nikon D600. I took the liberty of posting my question to Nikon and the company's reply. You can be the judge. I suspect I'll have to become a Canon user.Question:Since everyone on the photography planet knows that the D610 was developed to address the nasty and low quality problems of the dust/oil issues of the Nikon D600 will Nikon be offering a trade in program for those of us who had the unfortunate lack of foresight to purchase the D600 in the first place?Granted it would require a Herculean effort to get upper management to admit to the problem and to provide a redress that would show forthright corporate character traits, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask. Offering such a program would of course be admitting a flaw but also purchasing untold amounts of goodwill and positive PR for years to come.Answer:Response Via Email (James W.) 10/23/2013 04:02 PMHello Robert Gaskin,Thank you for contacting Nikon Customer Support, I'll be happy to assist you.Nikon has, and will continue to provide quality service to all of our D600 owners.

After having some challenges with my last Nikon (D300), I thought it might have been an isolated issue. I was very excited to order and receive my Nikon D610 thinking the issues with the D600 were resolved. However, out of the box, the viewfinder was completely blurry.....couldn't see a thing. Tried adjusting with the diopter control, looked on Nikon support site, and nothing worked to correct it. After doing some research online, it appears I'm not the only one to have this issue. I was also unhappy with the lens hood included with the 24-85mm lens. It was so loose, it kept rotating around and fell off a few times. I REALLY wanted to like this camera and there are a lot things I like about Nikon, but feel their quality has really suffered in the last few years. With the price of the Canon 6D dropping today, I'm sending this Nikon back and moving to Canon. I have always felt the brands were close, but this has put me over the edge toward Canon.
