We been shooting a lot of d600 and its a decent body, but I find that its short comings are very LOUD. Like when shooting in interior with C/FL lights with out flash, see a lot of red and see a lot of greens. Then another thing is at the most minimum, must use extreme class  (for sandisk) SDcards, else after 10-12 raw shots you will wait for it to buffer... buffer and buffer. Anything above 30mb/s is fine. So the slower cards we use for video.

That said, the dynamic range on the d600 is phenomenal (coming from  d300). The amount of detail is amazing. Metering (well lit) is AMAZiNG.

But I would not buy a d600. Sticking with my d300 until the shutter dies. or when Nikon comes up with something better than the d600. else I'm jumping ship to a mk3... ehem..

i understand where he's coming from because I had such problem before.

I use JPG but set to Adobe RGB. On the computer it looks fine but upon uploading to browser, the skin all look like corpse.

In the end have to find tune to add the red tones into the picture.

For the benefit of Nikonian. Most internet browsers support sRGB only. If I am not mistaken, only Safari supports both sRGB and Adobe RGB. Goldie's mistake was the same mistake I did last time. I shoot in AdobeRGB (because the camera can only shoot in that space) and do all the post in AdobeRGB.

And uploaded my works on my website using the same colour space. Now, I use Safari and my monitor is callibrated. View back my website from my computer, damn cun. Then go to other people's computer use chrome or fox, I was shocked.

Got to re colour space every single photo and re upload it to my website. It was painful but necessary. So, just stick to sRGB and pump a little abit of saturation and smart sharpen to your photograph before you upload it to the internet.

What I wonder is, since everyone is using different monitor, different browser...any processing standards(the common nice saturation, exposures etc) to be done when using lightroom? and the monitor settings too...normally I am using 50% brightness for my laptop screen. I heard there is some manufacturer introduce monitor pixels that is match with the Adobe colour....

You mean Eizo? Alternative will be the HP Pro grade monitor. 30bits AdobeRGB colour spaced monitor.

focus shift happens to both nikon and canon system. it's a combination of the lens and the camera body's problem.

want a system that do not suffer from focus shift?

Okay guys, need some advise. I still have my D90 lying around, and I guess the value is kinda low at the moment, also getting bored with both my FX... thinking to do something new... which is IR!

How much is it to convert D90 to IR? And where/who can do it?
*
eh, i was thinking of the same thing too. except that i won't be using my d90 and will use my d200 instead...

I had problems when I 1st got the 50mm f1.8 since I wasn't very good at controlling apertures  doh.gif

dont worry.
i am a slow learner too.
when i started photography, i got a nikon 801s and occasionally use my friend's FM 2 plus a sigma 24-70 lens.
i didn't go to the extend of whether 3rd party lens was sharp enough nor did i consider whether the sigma has front/back focus or not.

i was just happy because i have a camera to take photograph with. i guess the world has changed but what i am trying to say here is don't let the so call limited equipment stop you from enjoying yourself in taking photographs.

oh, another thing is, i was a lot more concern about mixing the chemicals and processing the films rather than the lenses and camera specs hahaa

I'm just curious, what happens when one actually hits the suggested shutter count and noticed the deterioration in terms of shutter performance?
Can just replace some parts and it'll be like new again?
Thanks in advance for the reply  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

yes.
focal plane shutter can be changed. no problem

D600 probably caps out at ISO 6400 while the 6D is still amazing at 25k ish. Most reviewers agree that the 6D has better ISO performance about 2 stops more than the d600. Seeing the comparisons myself, I couldn't agree more.
Question is whether or not I will ever go above ISO 6400 if I have an option to use speedlites. As far as I can remember, the highest I've pushed a DSLR was to 4000-5000 without flash.
D600's AF isn't as good as the 6D's as well in low light. The centre AF point has been proven to be more sensitive in low light in the 6D vs d600. The D600 can handle sports a little better, but that's about it.
My retarded reason why I still am considering the d600 is due to the fact that their cheapo 35mm lens doesn't make loud buzzing noises like Canon's, and that for some really odd reason, the skin tones on asians look more natural on the D600 compared to Canon.

Choosing between the two is like choosing wife wei... dilemma kao kao

flip coin...
seriously, it's not that hard of a question. you spend too much time on the spec and stuffs.
should use those time to either read up what photography is all about, or, go out and shoot


talking about shooting...

Rm 6k worth of equipment wor... flip coin means ):

Thanks anyway. Just trying to make a more informed decisions.
So...anyone know if the dust issue in the d600 persists after sending it back to Nikon?
*
do you have any lenses from either nikon or canon prior to your purchase to either d600 or 6d?
if not, and then d600's oil problem really irritate you... then your answer is clear isn't it?

i know it's a rm 6000 investment but i think the answer can be simple...

problem is, the focus indicator appear, but the picture is blur

it's kinda normal...

the most accurate focusing you can get now seeing that sensors are so highly packed with pixels is to focus directly onto the sensor

Sharpness wise, FX using FX lenses - It utilizes the whole glass on the lens
DX using FX lenses - dx utilize only the central part of the lens. Some might think it is much better because there's no vignetting & should be much sharper, but it's not the case for most. It's not utilizing the whole glass, which means it will either lose sharpness, soft wide open, lose contrast, less colour contrast/gradation etc...

QUOTE(KTCY @ Mar 31 2013, 02:08 PM)
So true ! I just mount a FF N lens on FX and compare back the result with DX, the color and etc, looks so different.
*
care to explain why?

FX has a bigger image circle and the sharp area is usually at the centre of the lens. therefore, by using an FX lens on a DX sensor, theoretically speaking, the image quality will be good (as in edge to edge sharpness is fantastic)...

this is what the carl zeiss 55mm distagon lens for nikon and canon full frame is all about. it is basically a medium format lens and this beast of a lens is going to cost USD 4000

long story short  DX body will be not As Sharp compared to a FX body ??

i need better convincing that this dude...

let's say we use D7000 and D4 camera (both 16mp)
both mounted on a STURDY TRIPOD and set the iso to 100. same white balance (5500 K)
both use the same lens 24-70mm f2.8 lens, zoom to 70mm at f8.

live view manual focus.

use the same RAW conversion, convert it to 16 bit colour TIFF

then compare...
