Nikon D610

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 D610 review

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.

Nikon D610 review

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...

Nikon D610 review

Barely different but still brilliant, this replaces the D600 as our Best Buy full-frame SLR

There's no denying the allure of a full-frame SLR. Noise levels are lower, details tend to be sharper and shallow depth-of-field effects are more pronounced. The D610 is one of the lowest-priced full-frame SLRs available, putting it within reach of...

Nikon D610: Not newsy but still a nice camera

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.

(Rating Hidden)

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...

Nikon D610 review

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,...

Nikon D610 - A subtle update of the Nikon D600

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

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
