its my company gear. Im still on d300 but using d600 when got chance.

really? we have past 3k already, but have not sent it for cleaning. But now develop strange noises when focus. tested a few lens still same, so guessing something is wrong with our d600.

yeap. problematic for landscape shooters too. =__= damn everyday I get pounded by canon fanboys. dusty d600 .....

another test photo

Having dust spots on D600 is not a big issue IMO, so far my usual supplier told me 3 of his customers reported their D600 having line on their images!

But they most likely can get a replacement unit.
You cant get that for dust issue.
The best they can do is foc sensor cleaning.

D600 = Dust600

Doesn't matter because all D600 is affected by the dust due to design flaw... but whoever kena the sensor issue --> suay.

Hope they solve the D600 sensor issue fast.......... Might get 1 before F1..........

FF for shooting at Sepang? You need a telephoto lens for sure... 70-300mm range at least.

I own a 28-300mm............

Good lo! I dont know how fast the focus of the 28-300 lens is but if its to slow you can pre focus 1st! I shot this with a 70-200 only so ur 300mm shud be sapsap sui! xD

so nice, before F1. i dunno when i can get my d800.. need to eat maggi till get enuff money

Mostly crop I guess Haha hard to fill the frame when everything is moving so fast

now I am thinking getting a J1/V1. is it dumb move to get one of this?

me tried handheld, live view (so far all my live view results sooooooooooooo damn sharp), and tripod. seems that middle point oso got issues..aiya

he's aiming the D600

D600 DX mode still got 10.5MP sifuuuu.. still no problem leh

Because your lens is variable aperture, e.g. f/3.5-5.6
which means, it's not fixed and as you zoom the f number will increase.
Your kit lens 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 means at 18mm the max aperture is f/3.5 and at 105mm, the max aperture will be at f/5.6
If you're using "M" mode, shutter speed or ISO will not compensate for the aperture changes, so if you zoom and the aperture changed, your exposure will no longer be the same, for this situation you can use other mode like "A" (Aperture Priority) mode; not sure if Auto-ISO can work in "M" mode for this as I haven't really tried before or forgotten.

When using Auto-ISO, you can set the minimum shutter speed and maximum ISO. Set a minimum shutter speed so that the camera won't use below the minimum shutter speed specified until the maximum specified ISO is reach. Meaning that, if you set min shutter speed of 1/80, the camera will first use shutter speed for the exposure and if 1/80 is not enough, it will then start increasing ISO. If the maximum ISO specified is reach and still no proper exposure, it will then lowers the shutter speed further. You can also set the base ISO while you're shooting.

In regard to the exposure, the default metering used will be Matrix Metering which should work for most general situation. You can experiment and learn this later. Basically the metering will show you what the camera thinks is the proper exposure for the scene.

or u tell us what u want to shoot with this coka cola cup...then we try our best to tell u what u need to set

Or even a flagship DX....... Just wait for D400 to release and i'll make up my mind........

i am trying to focus on the cola cup, trying to take a shoot with different mode lo..but everytime i shot also look weird

This is the most ridicuous thing I have ever heard from a camera company. I love Nikon but don't see how Nikon can sell a $2,000 with such a problem. More ridiculous are all the people that are buying the D600 knowing this is an issue.

Yeap, its harder to fill the frame when panning... but from experience, you cannot be continuously bursting... my limit is probably one to three shots in a go before I loose focus and then accidentally cropping the edges.

400mm at DX mode... 600mm equivalent I think this one probably cropped a little bit?

Again, did you do any micro adjust on the lens? My 35mm required about -8 micro adjust as well else all of them would be blur! Then again when I tried my 35mm on 2 other D800, it had different offset value.. one is -15 another is -3 only.

Because its the cheap FX body!
