Why I am Sticking with the Nikon D610

Recommended Posts

I have owned and tried out many cameras. I especially liked the Fuji XT-1 and the Panasonic GX8. They and others have been awesome. But dang I wear transition glasses (become dark in the bright sun) and seeing thru an EVF on those sunny days is a bummer. Plus I have boatload of legacy Nikkor lenses. I decided on a used D600 for $685. Worked great but the Nikon Service advisory said I could get a shutter upgrade. While it was at Nikon I read somewhere that if you ask Nikon, they sometimes will just ship you back a brand new D610 at no cost. I asked and they said yes!!. So now I have a brand new D610 for $685!!

 

Reasons I am sticking with the D610:

 

Price, price, price

OVF is awesome

Battery life is awesome

Image quality is A+

Built like a tank

Weather resistant

Weight is tolerable when mated to my 50/1.8 AF-D lens

Dual SD slots

Don't spread the work, or you could be the last person with that benefit. :cool:

 

Enjoy your new D610.
