Is a 6D the = of the Nikon D600?

[Juga]

On board flash is overrated and that 1 cross type is VERY good.

It's nice for commander in nikons CLS.

All threads like this are subjective because everyone has their preferences. My preference is to use wireless triggers or use a speedlite as a master like the 580EX II or the 600EX-RT. I, personally, don't find myself saying, "Wish I had on-board flash right about now..."

Pretty good for a Canon. Maybe some day Canon will be able to break the 13 EV barrier on Dynamic Range.

Because these numbers are, like, totally applicable to real world use.

The Nikon is better, I think, because Nikon really didn't try and gimp their 'lesser' full frame camera like Canon did, but there are better ways to determine this than by looking at DxOMark.

Yes...the numbers are applicable to real-world use. Two more full EV value of dynamic range is a big deal. The expansion of useable dynamic range, as well as the expansion of recoverable highlight headroom, is the single largest factor that sets the new-generation Nikons apart from Canon's sub-par sensors. A second area is recoverable shadow detail. The new, Sony-made sensors, and the electronics Nikon has developed, mean that in RAW file shooting, the quality of the sensor information has big, real-world impacts when you shoot a shot, and need to either recover highlights, OR "lift" the shadows in post.

Yes...the numbers reflect a HUGE advantage for the Nikon in terms of Scene Dynamic Range. Canon is still using outdated sensor fabrication technology, and has been "stuck" there since 2009. That's why Canon cannot even break the top 10 in sensor performance...their sensor fabrication is outdated. That's why they have been unable to even try and get to 36MP--their sensor fab tech and ON-CHIP noise reduction is at a dead end.

Heard it all before, have you heard about the new high mp camera coming out soon

Higher MP ?

OMG isnt 24MP enough ?
How much more can we take, soon every raw picture I take will be 100MB per picture, we will need to buy 128GB cards just for few shots,

Who the heck needs more MP ?

(its a retorical question no need to answer that LOL)

I have read it is 75mp

After reading your post I found the rumor is indeed 75MP
I think for the casual user this is (in my eyes) completly and utterly useless, pointless and silly (again thats what I think).
Maybe some pros will find this important and usefull but for me I wouldnt want it at all, files Waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too big for my needs.
My 16MP old D7000 was enough, my new 24MP of the D7100 is already an over kill, more then that is pointless and a waste, like putting 12 cylinder huge engine on a Honda civic-why would you need that ?

This 75mp sensor is a different design than canons normal as far as I can make out. It combines to make up a 25mp image from 3 different sensor layers. Also I could be wrong. It probably be interesting and similar to sigmas foveon sensor

OK here's another opinion, take it for whatever it's worth .... If HIGH ISO & Video are high on your list than go with Canon, If everything else is high on your list IQ, Color, Dynamic range than the choice is Nikon but realize there is really no wrong answers here !! Good Luck !!

Agreed with your statement only you need to add that while the 6D is very good in low light the D600 has also very impressive low light performance.
Its not like you get all the other goodies but you loose a lot in low light performance, you simply loose a bit in low light but just a bit.

 

[Nahin]

It's right that the winner is Nikon D600 and Runner up is Canon 6D. But the strange thing is that 6D has inflexible time focusing on color transition on flat surface in tremendous low light.

Well than the same could be said about the IQ of the 6d. It's not like that's a huge difference either.

For me... The D600 but I may be biased

Look at real world tests between high ISO performance and you'll see the 6D consistently outperforms the D600 by 1.5-2 stops. I rented a 6D for a wedding recently to try it out and it also has quite vast dynamic range.

That was a personal opinion. My post should carry no weight here, hence kinky spank smiley. lol

I only choose Nikon because I now shoot Nikon. My first DSLR was a 40D and it was a hell of a camera.

I was just trying to help!!!

 

[6kimages]

I am in the market for a new FF and M not invested in either system.

I have heard the optics and customer service is better with Canon but the NikonD600 has more DR.

I also know that some D600 bodies have had sensor dust problems.

Which should I buy?

[Smokeyr67]

I'd love to be able to buy the best body regardless of brand, but like most, I've got many thousands invested in lenses, flashes and other accessories, so I like Canon

I honestly doubt that your average (or even extreme) photographer will be able to fault either brands in the real world, and to be honest if you are familiar with the o/s of brand "a", you'l spend more time earning brand "b"'s quirks than you will taking photo's
