Nikon D600 low noise is impressive.

[DBA]

Recently got a full frame camera (D600) as I wanted to see how much better the [low] noise at high ISO was (among other reasons). Used it for the first time at an indoor event this past weekend and have to say I'm pretty impressed.

Here's an image straight out of the camera (resized):

Shot with a 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII on a D600 at 1/500 f/2.8 ISO3200




And an unedited 1:1 crop




So if you're on the fence about getting a full frame/D600 because of lower noise at high ISO, I'd say go for it. BTW I upgraded from a D7000, which is now my secondary camera.

I am Soooooooo envy you!!!

D600 is my dream camera but I will not get it

Just got the D7000 few months ago and I will probably get a full frame in a year or too but for now I will work on improving my skills.

Enjoy your new amazing camera.

Hale is from my area, but this was taken at Ram Jam Sportsplex in Northeast Ohio.

Awesome - I was looking for D7000 user that upgraded to the D600. I have a question for you.
Is the focus area tough to get used to since it is smaller than the D7000?

Actually, I think it's the same size. What is different is the size of the sensor & viewfinder... which makes it appear the focus area is smaller.

The D7000 is a great camera, it's currently on my left sling and will most likely stay there for the foreseeable future.

Wow, very nice. Thanks for sharing.

If I'd seen this before I got it I'd have gotten it sooner, if that makes sense? :thumbsup:

Yeah that's what I mean, less of the view finder is covered.

Like Sparky said pretty sure that the focus area is the same size, it just looks smaller thanks to the increased viewfinder size.

No I haven't noticed any issues with it. Then again I've only shot one event with it so far.
