Nikon D610

Autofocus is still cumbersome and slow, though, and the LCD is really hard to view in direct sunlight, relatively inexpensive, smartly designed fast a...

FE, F2, F801, D90, D610, D810 (and the F2, D610 and D810 are still in use here ;o). I bought Nikkor-Auto lenses, had them converted to AI, bought AF lenses, some AF-D, swung over to AF-S ... got rid of the AF-D and AF, replaced them with AF-S and .... I pass on the Zs. The future is mirrorless?

The Nikon D610 is a solid camera for shooters who are looking to upgrade to a full-frame body.

Like other comments mentioned, it'an inbuilt flaw. They specifically released the D610 to correct the issue of the shutter/mirror assembly splattering oil. There are D600's out there that are fine, but it may not be worth the risk, even if the price is tempting. You've had it for a week, i think you're in the return time-window.

I love this camera. I get great shots, it is durable, and easy to use once I figured out a couple tricks. I have had one issue lately where I snap a few in a row on continuous and it freezes. I can't turn it off and in order to live forward I have to actually pop the battery out and back in. Unfortu...

all make photography easier under different conditions and dare I say, more enjoyable. I remember when I jumped from the D40 to the D90, it was a world of difference - access to CLS flash system, more megapickles, more dynamic range, access to AF-D autofocus (that was when there weren't many cheap AF-S lenses yet), better high ISO, etc. and at the time a lot people were telling me it wouldn't make any difference. The jump from the D90 to the D600/D610 was another huge leap and I still am happy and don't need the feel to upgrade.

I was a little worried when I placed my order, since what I was buying wasn't new but reconditioned. However the camera I received was just as advertised and works just fine. One thing I wasn't advised in the ad is that this was a product made to be used OUTSIDE the United States and as such can not...

Especially important for event photography like weddings, concerts, corporate events, etc. where you only have one chance to capture a moment. * Overall the D610 gives you more room to "grow" since it was designed as a pro-level camera. As your skills grow, you can tap more into the camera's full capabilities without having to upgrade too soon.

10/2/2014 I am editing this review again because a new body came out which is the D750. 24mp, .5 FPS faster, expeed 4 processor, and 51pt autofocus. Image quality is practically identical, though I do think they improved dynamic range a smidge. The big difference is the autofocus. It has more sensor...

D610 is the same image quality of the d750, but you do lose out on some quality of life things (af, video features, etc). Edit - Don't get the Df - that camera is overpriced.
