Nikon D600
Features newly developed 24.3-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor
The new Nikon HD-SLR is also a gateway to Nikon's renowned Creative
Lighting System (CLS) which illuminates a whole new world of creative
image making using multiple Speedlights. A built-in Speedlight commander
can control multiple Speedlights such as Nikon's SB-700, SB-910 or
Wireless Close Up Speedlight System, and the camera can also control up
to two individual speedlight groups for further creative control.
Constructed to Inspire
Built to withstand the wide variety of shooting conditions enthusiasts
face, the body of the D600 is sealed and gasketed against dirt and
moisture. The camera uses magnesium alloy top and rear construction to
provide a lightweight camera with maximum durability. The shutter has
been tested for 150,000 cycles, and sensor cleaning is also employed.
The battery is rated for approximately 900 shots, affording
photographers the ability to shoot all day. Additionally, the optional
MB-D14 Multi Power Battery Pack extends the grip for comfort and can
effectively double the battery capacity when using two batteries.
The D600 is also built with an emphasis on handling with thoughtful
ergonomics and button placement, in a body that is compact enough to
carry comfortably on any excursion. The hand grip has been improved for
comfort, while the overall impression from using the camera is
reassuringly solid. To avoid accidental engagement, the shutter button
has been recessed, while the Mode Dial can be locked.
