The Nikon D610 looks to right the infamous wrongs of its predecessor
First-class handling ; Great performance from the sensor ; Impressive AF performance
No native Wi-Fi ; Too closely-grouped AF points
For example, the continuous shooting rate is now up to 6fps from 5.5fps, while a ‘Quiet Continuous’ mode of 3fps now arrives for discreet continuous shooting. The D610 also sees some attention afforded to the auto white balance system, with Nikon...

Nikon cleans up its full-frame act with the D600 upgrade
High build quality ; Excellent quality images ; Reliable AF system ; Clean sensor
No major step-up on D600 ; AF clumped in center ; Odd info display options ; JPEG-only HDR mode ; No Wi-Fi ; Fixed screen
While the Nikon D610 is an excellent camera that's capable of recording plenty of detail in images with rich tones, good exposure and pleasant colours it is considerably more expensive the Canon 6D.

If you scour the internet you will find a series of complaints about some Nikon D600 owners experiencing issues with oil on the camera's sensor. It's not an issue we had with our camera, but the sudden arrival of the D610, with only a modest bump in...
Excellent image quality, small and light for a full-frame camera, weather-sealed, fair price for full-frame DSLR body
AF point coverage is too centralised, little is new compared to D600, default JPEG processing can be a touch harsh
The only criticism we can really throw at the Nikon D610 is that it’s nothing more than a D600 with minor tweaks. That may be solely to inspire greater confidence in the company’s entry-level full-frame model, or it might just be part of the...

There are some internal differences, but from a user perspective it's pretty much the same as the D600.
The ; continues the D600's tradition of a great set of shooting features, comfortable and intelligent design, and excellent photo quality and performance.
Photos still display some unrecoverable clipping in the highlights that you don't expect in a camera of its caliber, and unlike the overhauled D5300, the D610 requires an extra-cost Wi-Fi dongle for connectivity.
Though competition's increasing for low-end full-frame cameras, the Nikon D610 holds its own; that said, while slightly faster than its predecessor it's not a whole lot different.

The Nikon D610 is a full-frame, professional DSLR, which replaces the Nikon D600. The new model features a few performance upgrades and a new shutter mechanism, which should deal with the problems some D600 owners had with long-term use. This is an...
Expert review by : Amateur Photographer (amateurphotographer.co.uk)
The question people will want answered is whether the D610 suffers from the same dust or oil trait that befell the D600. The good news is that it doesn't - I took more than 3,000 shots against an illuminated white background in the AP studio and,...
Expert review by : Macworld UK (macworld.co.uk)
Nikon's latest consumer pitched full frame DSLR in the D610 updates 2012's D600, and in doing so again offers the largest physical chip size to be found in a digital camera based on a 35mm film SLR, here boasting a top resolution of 24.3 megapixels....
Larger full frame sensor and weather sealed body nudges this DSLR into pro territory, workhorse like build, swift response times, large and bright optical viewfinder
No body-integral Wi-Fi connectivity, expensive if you don’t need a full frame DSLR, chunky and bulky compared to consumer level sub £1000 DSLRs

, shooting at 6fps, which is quicker than the 5.5fps of the D600, and features the same 24.3 megapixel full-frame sensor, full HD video recording, ISO50 to ISO25600, a large 3.2 inch screen, and a new quiet release continuous burst mode.
Excellent image quality, Excellent noise performance, Auto shutter speed control for auto ISO, Wide-strap, 2 year warranty, Compact full-frame body, Headphone / Microphone socket, Quiet shutter mode / Mup function, Slightly improved continuous shooting...
Price close to higher spec D800, AWB could be better under tungsten light, Competitors are cheaper
Expert review by : What Digital Camera (whatdigitalcamera.com)
It wouldn't be unreasonable to be cynical about the Nikon D610, with its very minor updates hinting at what many people see as it simply being a marketing fix for the somewhat tarnished

Nikon adds the new Nikon D610 to its line-up of FX format DSLRs.
